You will truly enjoy this month's exhibit by The Porcelain Club of Russellville, which will open with a reception on Sunday, October 3 from 1:00-3:00 PM at River Valley Arts Center, 1001 East B Street, Russellville.
The art of china painting has its roots in the history of early China. Though documented much earlier, it wasn’t until the T’ang Dynasty in 618 AD that the Chinese began making what is known today as hard porcelain. They discovered that combinations of kaoline clay and felspar resulted in the most beautiful ceramics. The Chinese, being supreme secret keepers, remained the masters and sole producers of hard-bodied porcelain until the middle of the 1700s.
Porcelain lends itself to the added beauty of hand painting. Our local group has mastered this art and have a beautiful exhibit for your viewing pleasure. The reception is free of charge and open to the public.
At the same time as the reception the family Sunday Funday will be available for parents and their children to spend creative time together in the art room. An instructor and supplies are furnished to create a make-and-take item.
