The aim of this website is to provide up-to-date news, events and topics of interest to china painters and any who appreciate the art form. Workshops, demos and teaching opportunities of special interest to painters from the Western Australia region will be featured. Have a query please contact me.
Artisans have been decorating porcelain for centuries.
To complete a design, pigments, texture products, lustres and various precious metals can be applied to white porcelain - the china painter's canvas. After each application the piece is kiln fired up to 850°C. At this temperature the glaze melts sufficiently to absorb paint leaving pieces that are both durable and permanent.
Kiln-fired china painting produces enduring works, ready to become the collectable art of tomorrow!
