About Us
Did you ever stop to thin how lucky you are to be a Porcelain painter?  YOU are really someone special, you know - perhaps a great deal more different than most!  Haven't you felt that somehow God has singled you out and taught you to be more aware of his wonders - not just to look - but to SEE - all the beautiful and splendid things to paint?

THINK PORCELAIN PAINTING and give your thoughts life and breath in your work by producing a  painting more beautiful than the thought of your mind which led you to it and, thusly, out of your thoughts a rapture.
DREAM PORCELAIN PAINTING to experience that trembling, fearful longing to paint beauty in all its forms.  Great it is to believe that dream but a greater thing it is with each painting to say at the end - my dream was true!
TALK PORCELAIN PAINTING - be a servant not only to your art but to those around you who share your love of porcelain painting.  Share everything you know - work with others - speak of your experiences - live, be free with your knowledge - help others to learn and create.
DO PORCELAIN PAINTING - play fair, don't sign things you haven't painted.  Support your Guild by serving in office and assisting your area program Monitors.  Think some, dream some, learn some, sketch and paint - work some every day if possible.  All you need to know is out there so hold true and clear and firm - you have only to bring it into your eyes, your mind, your heart, your hands and your brush!
Remember - you're someone special!
