Hi Diane
In my experience lustre takes on the qualities of the glaze that it is
applied over. Therefore a shiny glaze will produce a very shiny lustre/gold,
a satin glaze will have a less shiny surface on the lustre and so on. On
unglazed surfaces lustre/gold will be matt and not at all shiny.

Subject: Firing Lusters
I haven't fired lusters in quite awhile but had to do a test for a friend
last night. Gold came out OK but not as brilliant as I expected. I fired
kiln with lid proped and directly to high until smell was gone and then
closed the lid. Fired to cone 018 took less than 1 hour in little test
kiln.
Did I forget something? Tried the archives but computer jammed up each
time. Would appreciate a little help. Thanks in advance. Almost unpacked
from NCECA. Lost all posters at the airport but was so busy coughing from
bronchitis that I didn't realize it until I was on the plane. Boo Hoo.
