slow cooling/down firing

slow cooling goes back centuries to the very early chinese.
old kilns. the japanese anagama's cool in weeks.
no one on this list has ever said anyone invented it.

that would be silliness.

this is all about quick cooling electric kilns, and fast cooling
soft brick kilns.

things change. we have to be re/taught/re/enlightened/
it is about experiments in cooling cycles.

only a fool would think he or she invented anything to do with
clay.
it has all been done...over and over.
