An Unusual Art Form: Porcelain Panel Painting

Read about a 90-year-old artist Sun Chao (Sun is the family name) who specializes in Porcelain Panel Painting.   

It's a complicated process that takes a life time to perfect.

There are some mass produced paintings but Sun's paintings are purely art form.

Sun is considered as a master and a national treasure.

Once a while Sun would make some porcelain vase.

And porcelain display dish.

If any of the creations are not perfect, Sun discards them.  His wife who is a jewelry designer would use the broken pieces to make beautiful jewelry pieces.

Sun designs his own kiln that he named it "Tianxin Kiln" (means kiln in the middle of the fields).
