Wax resist is a great aid to potters and ceramicists who want to keep their glazing neat and clean. You can paint the bottoms to protect your pots from absorbing glaze, and you can also paint designs on your pieces to show off the unglazed clay with negative space. You can also paint wax on to greenware and then with a damp sponge wipe around the wax to show depth of design. The wax will burn off at low temperature during the bisque firing process (approx. 500 degrees), revealing designs, base colors, or just unglazed pot underneath. The wax slows drying in the areas where it is applied, and burns off in the bisque firing. The only purpose of the wax is to make it easier for you to wipe the glaze off. Dip your brush in soapy water or fabric softener before using wax resist, and the brush will be easier to clean.
