SUSAN PETERSON
Grapes with raised paste/gold embellishments
 
Susan Peterson offers a seminar on the popular subject of grapes. She credits her class with Paula White for her technique in painting this subject. This project consists of two companion plates with grapes, raised paste and gold. The gold work was inspired by an antique plate with roses and floral embellishment. This will be a fun project with one of our best artists. You will end up with two of tomorrow's heirlooms.

Val Nabor
Pocket watch on 8" x 8" vase
 

Val West Naber has tried her hand at many styles of porcelain painting and won competitions for her "out of the box" way of thinking. Once she discovered the art of Peter Faust she focused on learning his methods and techniques. She creates her own designs influenced by Peter and other artists she has taken seminars from. In this seminar, you will paint one of these original designs and produce a real treasure.

  
Joan Frandle
Daisy with
penwork border

 

Joan Frandle has been painting for 28 years and has been teaching for 25. She has owned her own china shop in Blue Earth where she taught classes, painted commissioned work and sold supplies. She now teaches from her farm home studio and recently taught at Art Institute in Oklahoma City. In this seminar, the charm of daisies will be portrayed on a border plate which will feature chip off powder, pen work and platinum.

 

DONNA CASEY
Roses on a tray

 

A long time favorite, Donna Casey has been painting porcelain for almost 40 years and teaching for 35. Her favorite subjects are naturalistic flowers, with roses and peonies at the top of the list. Over the years she has studied roses with several international teachers from Mary Patusky to Grace Moss. This seminar gives you a chance to perfect your rose painting technique in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.


 NANCY BERGMAN - Fish Vase

 Nancy Bergman comes to us with an ideal background for teaching porcelain art. She has taken classes from Peter Faust, Rocio Borobia, and Stephen Hayes. She has studied art, design, and color theory and is a University of Minnesota graduate with a Major in Costume Design, and Minors in Business and Design. She has developed different techniques that add texture and movement to her paintings by using lusters; she says they make her happy. You'll be happy, too, with what you paint in this seminar!
