Omg the sponge in the wax. 🤯 I feel like it’s going to save me a ton of time.

I just found your channel. Subscribed! Can't wait for more videos! Now I'm going to go binge watch the rest I haven't seen yet. Lol

Good tips! Dipping glazes are so much better, brushing glazes are obnoxious. What kind of wax do you like using? It looks like you have a very user friendly one.

Yeah brushing glazes is the worst haha. But sometimes it just makes sense. I use maycos wax. I buy it by the gallon cuz I use a lot of it. But I still only use like half a gallon a year

I’d love to know what kind of clay you use! It’s such a beautiful color!! This is sooo helpful!!! Love the waxing with a sponge!!

I use laguna speckled buff. Might switch to something else though because I’ve been getting a lot of different moisture contents. So some of my clay is way harder than the rest

@@BeardedPottery I have switched clay so many times because of things like this. Several clays have been short as in not mixed well enough so they crack with every bend of the clay. It’s unworkable and the companies act like they don’t know what I’m talking about. I’m a handbuilder so folding my clay is a biggie. Good luck.
