THE FLORENTINA PAINTING METHOD
Learn the complete Florentina porcelain painting process - from first sketch through expressive underglaze linework, layered color, and final finishing.
THE EXPERIENCE
Rather than pre-recorded lessons, this atelier is built around live demonstration and conversation. We will move through the entire porcelain painting process together - from the first pencil sketch to underglaze outlining, layered color, and final finishing. You'll be able to ask questions as we work, receive personal feedback on your own pieces, and revisit the recordings afterward at your own pace.
Reference materials and a complete supply list are included.
