“Bloom Where You Are Planted”

This annual spring event will include demonstrations, a painting competition, a silent auction, a People’s Choice competition, a painted mug and/or box exchange, and of course, lunch! Plan to join us for the great fun of good fellowship with like-minded artists. (View invitation here.)

Demonstrations: Featuring two MPAG artists.

People’s Choice: The theme this year is “Bloom Where You Are Planted.” Each artist is free to paint their own interpretation of the theme on any porcelain they choose. $3.00 entry fee per piece. Fees collected will be awarded to the winner.

Painting Competition: Current MPAG members may enter pieces representing their best work, painted within the last two years. Check in between 8:30 and 9:00 am. Our judge’s comments can help you improve your work!

Silent Auction: A wide variety of donated items. Please donate! We would love to have things like books, caramels, supplies, and painted pieces (but no white porcelain, please).

Painted Mug/Box Exchange: Bring one (or two or three or four or…), get one (or two, etc).

Lunch: A delicious Taco Bar! Price ($45) includes coffee and tea. Other beverages on a cash basis.

2024 Porcelain Art School

November 19-20, 2024 • 9:00 am to 4:00 pm each day
Bergman Lusters • 1964 County Road B West, Roseville

The 2024 School is over. We had a great time painting ornaments, guided by our teachers Nancy Bergman (with a focus on lusters) and Val Naber (with a focus on penwork).

We hope to see you at the next Minnesota Porcelain Art Guild School. In the meantime, check out some photos from the 2024 School in our online Gallery!
