China painting with Paul Lewing
China painting is a 1000-year-old technique that is undergoing a revival after being neglected by clay artists for the last 100 years. Paul Lewing has been pivotal to this revival, through his use of china painting on tile murals, and his ground-breaking book “China Paint & Overglaze”.
Now Paul brings his very unconventional approach to the medium to you in this course. He takes you through the planning and multiple firings of complex pieces, demonstrates all kinds of brushwork and other systems of making marks, and introduces you to many unusual tools, substances, and processes.
Clay artists will discover the most painterly ceramic decorating medium; traditional china painters will be introduced to many water-based mediums; painters in other mediums will see how to translate their methods to a more permanent product.
Paul shows you an extensive overview of historical and contemporary use of china paints and other overglaze materials. He muses on making art, making a living making art, and making china paint do things most people don’t do with it. Most importantly, he gives you the information and the challenge to make this traditional medium your own.
