Artisans have been decorating porcelain for centuries.
Pigments, various texture products, lustres and precious metals can be applied to plain white porcelain, the china painter's canvas, to complete a design. After each application of paint etc. the piece is kiln fired at up to 850°C. At this temperature the glaze melts sufficiently to absorb the paint leaving pieces that are both durable and permanent.
Kiln-fired painting produces enduring works of art ready to become the collectables of tomorrow.
This website aims to provide china painters, particularly those from Western Australia, with current news, events and topics of interest to china painters and those who just appreciate the art .
Galleries featuring flora, fauna, fish, exotic and native flowers and scenes designs can be accessed through the Main Gallery page.
