Resist (wax)

• Wax resist is a technique whereby wax is used to prevent glazes or slips from adhering onto the clay body or previous coating of glaze when a second or third layer is applied. The wax resists the second glaze from adhering, allowing the painted design to show.  Japanese potters call the technique “Ronuki”

In sketchbook...

• Wax resists(doesn’t allow) glaze to stick
• Glaze-Wax-Glaze
• Light color first
• Wax burns away in the kiln
• Not used for precision- no details

Often leaves dots
