Artisans have been painting porcelain for many centuries.

Paint, gold, other precious metals, lustres, and various textures can all be applied to plain white porcelain ~ the china painter's canvas. After each application the piece is kiln fired to around 800°C (1475°F).  At this temperature the glaze melts sufficiently to absorb the paint leaving artwork that is both durable and permanent.  Individual pieces require up to six and eight firings to achieve the desired effect.

The process produces enduring works of art ready to become the antiques of tomorrow.

In addition to showcasing the porcelain painting of Anne Blake, this website aims to provide china painters, particularly West Australian china painters with current news and events and a list of useful links.



The Main Gallery page is the gateway to a series of sub
galleries featuring various styles of china painting by
Anne and several guest artists.

For current news items visit the News Page, and a list of upcoming events can be found on the Calendar Page.
