There are some 50 porcelain painters in the Hunter Valley Association, some of whom have qualified as teachers. Members participate in public events such as regional shows and have enhanced the reputation for high standards. Also we network with other Porcelain Associations in Australia to promote the art. ‘Home’ is the Macquarie Club at Argenton where we hold meetings, seminars, and our biennial Exhibition. There is much camaraderie amongst members, and the Association has a very positive attitude, ever ready to explore new techniques and methods. New members are always very welcome, and once ‘bitten by the porcelain bug’ they are sure to become enthusiasts.
