Here are a few suggestions that may be somewhat helpful, I work at a
pottery in Maine and we have found that you simply can't paint over the
wax, you have to paint around it. There is another masking tool called
Liquid Latex, this allows you to paint over it and then pull up the
latex with a needle tool. This leaves a beautiful line, but we have
found it can only be painted over the base glaze. However with you base
glaze being as chalky as you say it is, you may still find that it lifts
up the glaze. Our base glaze has a hard shell to it that makes it
beautiful to paint on, we get this shell by adding a little rock salt to
the mix, however I don't know if this would effect Linda's glaze.
As for color, we also use Ammaco underglazes which we "fix" by adding a
little flux, gerstley borate.
Hope I was of some help, Aimee in Maine

I would like to try designing with majolica glazes. Is there anything I
need to know?

For information on majolica see handouts on CeramicsWeb. Includes
recipes and some technical info:
http://art.sdsu.edu/ceramicsweb/
Their server is down at the moment, but as I recall it's under
Education, Articles about Various etc..
Bibliography lists books. Matthias Ostermann has a new book coming out
in Aug. from A & C Black, "The New Majolica". Reported to be all color
and lovely. Lynn Peters recently put out "Surface Decoration for
Low-fire Ceramics" that has a section on her techniques. Also should be
a bibliography of articles in magazines.
National Gallery has a site for historic majolica tour:

Dear Linda,
I was wondering if you have any other majolica glaze recipes other than the
one from your class. I have been trying to use it and found it is so
powedery that its difficult to paint on without my brush gumming up. Also
I'd rather fire cooler. Thanks for any help you can give. Eportor/Boise ID

Here is the recipie that I use
you can add 1 % of bentonite to the mix and that will harden the glaze up
