On top of the glaze, it won't work. You can use the wax over the bisque and then apply the glaze over it. Wax is often used in ceramics as a way to resist or mask areas you do not want the glaze to cover.
I really like plates with no "foot" like yours, but I'm unsure about the finished product, if I let the bottom unglazed, wouldn't it become rough and could potentially ruin the surface where you put it on? It's my greatest doubt about dping ceramics, because every industrial piece you buy has a little unfished piece under it, but it's smooth, not rough and it doesn't seem to absorb water like hand made ceramic left unglazed.
Hi! It depends on whether the plates are fired to the temperature at which the clay vitrifies and the type of clay. When it vitrifies, it becomes impermeable, and if you sand it, it turns out very smooth. In my case, I use porcelain, which allows me to do this.
@@jollylally5834 I had to search it ahahah but I think I will, I even saw people doing it with spoons and light bulbs so I don't need anything fancy, thank you!
Posso usar a cera sobre o esmalte, antes da queima?

@@from_fran I'm doing white clay for the first time, so I really don't know how it will go ahahah I'm gonna do some experiments and see, thank you!
@@letizia4419 If you are having a hard time with rough feet, you could try hyper burnishing the clay feet before bisque firing.

My wax is brown and sticky 🥴
Which brand are you using?
