China Painting Exhibit at Gallery

MAA is hosting an exhibit of work from members of the Mid State Porcelain Guild at our gallery at 411 West Main St, Mandan.  The exhibit will run from June 2 through June 30.  An open house reception will be held on Saturday, June 2nd from …10:00 am to 2:00 pm.  Several members of the porcelain guild will be demonstrating their painting techniques during the reception. China painting is a complex art that requires firing in a kiln between several layers of paint applied to porcelain. This creates the depth and luminous finish of the completed pieces.  China painting can be applied to cups, dishes, plates, tea sets, wall tile, jewelry pendants and many other items.  Stop in to view the wonderful pieces on display.

An open house reception for her exhibit will be held on Friday, May 11th from 5:30 to 7:00 pm at the gallery at 411 West Main St, Mandan.
