How do I glaze my ware?

Wax Resist

The same wax we use on the bottoms of our pieces can also be used decoratively. The wax can be applied to the bisque directly or applied on top of a layer of glaze. Any glaze applied afterward won't stick to the wax. Avoid trying to be too fine with wax resist. Very thin lines and small areas don't shed the glaze as well as larger areas.
