Just precaution for splashing?? thanks again & again your work is very impressive! and you have the heart of a great teacher great info, thanks Jeff,

That is a very helpful tip! Thanks for sharing! i didnt know you could put wax resist ontop of glazes and wipe away and the glaze stays. That is a very helpful tip!

Liquid wax really is the best and most pottery supplies places sell it. The one I buy doesn't have the ammonium in it (hence not smelly) and it might wear down with such a vigorous sponge, but it still works great. I still have to do a lot of sponge clean-ups around the edges and it's incredibly labour- intensive. It takes me at least 3 days to glaze a medium kiln load...

I wonder if shellac would work. I have painted with shellac on bone dry work and even the rigorous sponging didnot remove the painted pattern. Might work with glazes too, but the smell could give you a headache. Very cool technique. I wonder if shellac would work.

It's nice to see the complexities of the process stack up. Thanks for sharing! You’ve really got the kinks knocked out of that process! It’s nice to see the complexities of the process stack up.

Those lines look damn sharp after the sponging off the unprotected area. What if wax resist didn't exist? Is there another method that could pull this off?
