For my final ceramics project I made a set of four coasters. Though, I must admit, I expected the glaze to come out brighter. There is always an element of surprise and mystery when it comes to firing a piece; sometimes the end product comes out differently than one expects. I also tried wax resist for the first time. You dip the fired clay into hot wax (or alternately you can paint it on). It then burns off when the piece goes back into the kiln. The glaze doesn't stick to the wax, thus the wax can be used as another method to create texture, straight lines, specific designs and negative space.
