Wax Resist in Boulder

Wax resist is a glazing technique where you paint wax onto your bisque-fired pottery before glazing. The wax repels the glaze, leaving the waxed areas bare or showing the clay body beneath. It's a simple but powerful technique for creating patterns, separating glaze colors, and adding visual depth.

At Boulder Pottery Studio, we use wax resist extensively and teach it as part of our glazing workshops. It's one of the most versatile surface decoration techniques in ceramics.
