I offer a variety of 3 and 4 day seminars to china painters. Please contact me for fee schedules. Class size is 10 students. I will take up to 12 students, but charge $25. per extra student, per day for students 11 and 12. If you can house me in a smoke-free home, that is the accommodation I prefer. If not, hotel accommodation will be furnished by the group that hires me.
To save travel costs, please check my Schedule page.
Subjects:
Landmarks: buildings, bridges, street scenes, even a detail of a building or landmark can be an interesting painting. I prefer that students bring their own photos of a place that is special to them.
8x10" plaque
Pocket Watch: I paint pocket watches and their working parts on many types of pieces, using many techniques. Matte paint, china paint, gold, platinum and lustres are some of them.
European Candle Holder
Vase
Ornaments/Eggs using the Lathe: This is a very popular seminar subject because many people have the lathe already, but are unsure how to use it. A three or four day course using this makes very many ornaments and a lot of new tricks for painting heirloom quality pieces.
Design Basics: I teach a simple way to start designing your own work. This can be done on any circle, square or triangular piece. It is also easy to use on ornaments and vases.
