Artisans have been decorating porcelain for centuries.
Pigments, texture products, lustres and various precious metals can be applied to 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 china painting produces enduring works ready to become the collectable art of tomorrow.
My aim is to provide current news, events and topics of interest to china painters and all who appreciate the art, particularly those from Western Australia .
To see more recent work visit the Main Gallery. From the Main Gallery you can link to additional galleries arranged by subject matter (see below).
