LEIGH  COMMUNITY  CENTRE

ARTIST  IN  RESIDENCE   JUDITH LYALL

 Judith invites you to look at her hand painted china, my passion for painting on porcelain and china started in the 80’s when I found it to be a very relaxing and a therapeutic hobby.

When the English potteries were born, originally, of course, everything was hand painted but with the invention of overglaze printing, painting by hand gradually diminished, with very little now found in shops. I have taught at workshops, Adult College and schools, encouraging students to paint and I am now looking forward to promote the art here at Leigh Community Centre with those interested. My primary goals are to share my knowledge to foster the re-growth of this art form.

Rise to the challenge, join in the fun of painting on porcelain a unique, personalized gift for somebody close or for yourself.  If you would like to try, I will help you here at Leigh Community Centre and start by painting in the café, to gain interest for a small beginner`s class.

Judy has been painting porcelain for over 35 years and has accomplished many interesting subjects as can be seen from her examples above.

This art form allows one to create your a gift or personal requirement from a door number to a set of dishes, the ideas are yours to create.

To begin with Judy will explain the process, then trace or draw  the subject onto a plate and begin to put on the various backgrounds or fill in as required, the process will take as long as you like, just like an oil painter for example.

The plate or tile or object will then be fired at home and brought back to you at the next class.

Judy provides all your brushes and paint mediums, this is a great chance to just  to relax, unwind, chat and develop your own project.

There is a small charge to cover kiln firing etc.

At Leigh Community you can also enjoy a cup of tea or coffee as you paint at the Tea room on the ground floor.
