Welcome to our Web Site representing the Porcelain Art Teachers of Australia and New Zealand.

We are deeply committed to the wonderful art of on-glaze painting, or as it is more simply known......... porcelain painting.

Overglaze decoration is one of the most exciting areas of ceramic art today, and is crossing the boundaries with other contemporary mediums. In place of paper, canvas or wood, and using powdered mineral colours, we paint on white porcelain, which is then fired to approximately 800°C.

The techniques and materials available to us are unlimited. Our Art is innovative and forward moving. It has a rich heritage, yet is advancing into the 21st century with new and creative concepts.

Our members lead the world in innovation and consequently are in demand for exhibitions, lectures, and workshops both here and overseas.
