One more question, please. I looked for Hamada videos on Youtube and only found throwing videos, no decorating. Could you send me a link if you have one?

NO idea of things on on Youtube.

You'll likely have to purchase one of the videos that you can get via Steven Branfman's Potters Shop bookstore. One good one is "Art of the Potter" ......... a great production. I show it all the time in classes. The Susan Peterson one available on Hamada that is titled just like her book on him is more of a "home movie" approach and the narration is awful. But it is interesting.

best,

Thank you for all your replies. I should have given more detail on what I want to try. I have seen some of Michael Klines wax resist brush work videos and want to try it on my pots. I have already experimented using commercial water based wax resist and adding black mason stain to color it. But that type of resist is not very effective so I need to learn about using hot wax. Any more suggestions?

Thanks again, Laurel Neth

I use regular old water based wax resist. It takes a little practice, but works fine once you get the hang of it. Just make sure the wax is totally dry, and use cold water. Also, keep rinsing your sponge a lot, so the clay on the sponge doesn't abrade the wax. Example (16" self rimming sink):
