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 is the joint project of myself and Marci Blattenberger, (who administers the Chinapainters mailing list 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).  So visit often and watch us grow.  Although, the time needed to help maintain the PPIO site means I will probably not add many new items to my own web page, I will continue to maintain my own website here.
