Participants will learn about the unique and ancient craft of porcelain painting. Carol will discuss her inspirations and her dedication to preserving the art of porcelain painting for future generations. 

Zalpha Hashem offered me the following "mini-bio" on Carol.   Carol Pickler, Porcelain Painter Extraordinaire

After a career dedicated to teaching Language Arts (mostly to middle school students), Carol Pickler began a second career in painting, especially on porcelain. To many patrons of the arts, porcelain painting is a lesser-known painting. Carol learned directly from her mother about this unique medium and continues to promote, lead, support, and produce painting on porcelain. She continues to learn and demonstrate new techniques in this art form through her membership and collaboration with groups and organizations such as: Florida World Organization of China Painters and Porcelain Painting in America. Carol has conducted demonstrations, presentations, and served as a featured artist at their retreats, conventions, and seminars. Her work is highly regarded, and she has won awards for her expert technique, creativity, texture, and brilliant colors. Carol offers classes in her Oviedo home studio. The Polasek Museum of Winter Park will feature Carol Pickler at The Capen House September 4-7. -Zalpha Hashem
