Has anyone ever done a Saggar firing (pottery) and how do you generate some bright colors?

We are doing a saggar firing in about ten days. We are using aluminum foil to enclose the pots and attaching various metals (copper wire) and/or organic materials (leaves, peels, seaweed) to the pots, using an adhesive or tying the items using twine or ripped up sheets.
I want to try to get some bright colors; reds, oranges, blues, if possible.
What would you suggest I use? My two pots going into the firing are about nine to ten inches high so I have room for a couple of attachments. My instructor suggests that we attach no more than four (4) different items so that the piece will not look crowded, assuming that we get decent results.
Using Fluther
