How To Use Wax Resist On Pottery Bisque?

Today, we are going to learn how to use wax resist on pottery. What materials do you need?

• Brush

• Bisque

• Wax resist

Wax resist is a great material if you are planning to dip-glaze your bisque. It serves as a protective coating on the surface of the pottery piece, preventing glaze from adhering to specific areas. Wax resist allows you to dip-glaze the whole piece without worrying about the area that will come into contact with the kiln shelves. 

To begin, apply the wax resist with your brush over the area that will touch the shelf. Then, wait a few seconds for the wax to dry. That's it! You can now dip-glaze your piece. After dipping your bisque into the glaze, you will need to clean it with a sponge and let it dry before firing it inside the kiln.
