The World Organization of China Painters is dedicated to the preservation of the ancient art of hand-painted porcelain. Pauline Salyer (1912 - 1991) published the first issue of The China Painter in 1962, a magazine that today reaches over 7,000 artists worldwide. The first worldwide convention of the organization was held in 1977 in Oklahoma City, U.S.A.
Author of several books, including Great Artists of China Decoration and Oriental China Painting, Pauline Salyer based her publications on visits to the premier porcelain factories of China.
Molly Cooper ~ known affectionately in The Neat Little Bookshop as "Fascinating Molly" ~ will share with us today some of her own pieces and demonstrate the art of porcelain painting.
Chat with Molly, 1:30 P.M. today.
Thursdays, 1:30 P.M. Series of Fascinating Personalities. Everyone welcome.
