Hey all; I only have my own personal experience from
this first firing to offer, but someone mentioned that
firing quickly results in color loss from the glazes.
In my firing this week, where I went from one thousand
degrees Fahrenheit to possibly cone twelve in three
hours, my colors turned out a lot more vibrant than
I'm used to from a "normal" firing. This could have
been due to the fact that I really got no reduction,
but the glazes were a lot more colorful. It also could
have occurred from the glazes overfiring, but I would
have thought that would make them more dull. I'm doing
a "normal" firing this weekend, so I'll be able to
compare the results, but just wanted to say that no
depth was lost; and if you don't believe me, you're
welcome to stop by, scrape the melted pots off my
shelves, and take a look! Jules
