26 May – 16 June 2023
This talented group of Porcelain art teachers are excited to present a mixed media collection of artwork.
Porcelain painting is the art of applying mixed powdered mineral colour to porcelain which is then kiln fired to create modern and traditional art. The techniques and materials available today ensure that the art of porcelain painting is innovative, with enamels, gold, texture pastes and lustres to enhance the final result. The white porcelain takes many applications, firing after each coat not to mention many hours of work to get the required finished results. The pieces go to 800c degrees in the kiln to make the painting permanent.
These artworks can be decorative art or used as every day items in the home. Painting on porcelain has been a tradition in England and European factories for generations throughout history. Porcelain paint can be applied in any style to suit all tastes. Some of the group members are now working with different mediums as one artform will help to develop another. Painting with watercolours is a favourite as well as glass painting, porcelain and glass jewellery. Glass is ideal to be used as embellishment for porcelain.
This exhibition is a colourful and varied mix of work by talented local South Australian artists.
