Porcelain China Links

The number of Websites devoted to the fine art of China Painting is growing daily.
This is an exciting time.

Be sure and visit the sites listed below. Each one is different and interesting in its own way.   Most feature displays of some really great china painting artwork!

With the exception of the Porcelain Painters International Online (PPIO) link, I have tried to list the sites in alphabetical order within each porcelain category.

 
Porcelain Painters International Online (PPIO)
This online organization began as the joint project of myself and Marci Blattenberger, (who administers the Chinapainters mailing list, the PPIO Forum at www.ppioforum.com) and has articles on the Techniques page of my own web site here).  The web site (in existence since May 1998), is similar in subject matter to this web site (porcelain painting), but it is much more ambitious in scope.  In addition to hosting the china paint mailing list, the organization offers paid membership. Paid members have access to the "Members Only" section of the web site which houses (among other things) the PPIO Classroom, where members will find over 70 (at last count) lessons, a Picture Resource Library, the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section, (a database search facility for questions and answers to subjects discussed on the china paint mailing list).  Some time ago, I relinquished my part of administering the PPIO web site and membership. I decided that I wanted to devote my time and efforts to painting and other endeavors. Marci is continuing on with this job. (Honestly, I don't know how she does it!). I still support the organization. It opened me to so much information and china painting friends all over the world.
