Wax resist

Wax resist is actually liquid wax. It prevents glaze from adhering to the clay. The wax disappears completely during the firing. So you can use it to keep parts of your piece free from glaze. It is often applied to the bottom of a pot to prevent the glaze from sticking to the kiln plate. And it’s also used for decorative purposes. In this blog post on working with wax resist, you can see some examples.
