Using wax resist to protect the foot of a vessel

Wax resist is an excellent way to keep glaze off of the parts of your work that you want to keep clear. This can be used to make designs and other artistic elements, but it can also be used to keep the foot of a vessel clean and unglazed. In this video, SPS potter Sean Tessandori shows us how to apply wax to the foot of a cup.

Sean is using SPS Seattle Freeze mid-range translucent porcelain in this video.
