glazing pottery

Video. Wax Resist

Hey, I'm trying to do a few videos that show some of the processes other than throwing or making pots.  Here's one I shot earlier in the week that shows me waxing a plate.  The main point I want to make in these videos is that there are a lot of skills involved in being a potter.  Making the pots is a very, very small part of what we do.  In this video you'll see me tap the plate on center.  That skill alone is something that most people have a very hard time with.  It took me quite awhile to learn to do it but now it's nothing to me.  I totally take it for granted.  Anyhow, here's the video.  Look for more to come.  Thanks so much for visiting the blog.  ~Ron
