Visit IPAT's website and submit your best artwork photos for a chance to win a ribbon. It is important to note that IPAT is a non-profit organization. As such, we rely on donations to supplement membership dues, which have been declining even before the COVID-19 pandemic. The biennial conventions hosted by IPAT serve as a means to raise funds through anticipated auction donations, helping to support our non-profit budget. Therefore, we urge you to participate in the auction and consider making a donation to support our cause. Furthermore, IPAT greatly values and encourages volunteer contributions towards the maintenance and advocacy of our beautiful IPAT Museum in Grapevine, Texas.

Additionally, your assistance in ensuring the museum's sustainability would be greatly appreciated. Spread the word, participate in the School, Competition, Auction, Donations, and offer your support as a volunteer.

102024 EXPO IPAT Museum At a GlanceWhere to StayKnowing that dierent people have dierent expectaons from hotels and because you can oen get a beer rate through your favorite travel site, instead of telling you where to stay, we are giving you a list of hotels in Grapevine. The list may be found on our website, or by scanning the QR code. Don’t be alarmed by the word “Airport” in the tle. Most just use that to show they are near the airport. There are only two hotels actually on airport grounds. Most hotels in Grapevine are at most a 15 minute drive from the venue even with trac. Most are less. Did you know that DFW airport is actually bigger than Manhaan? If you look for a hotel outside of Grapevine that says “Airport” be sure to make sure it the “Airport NORTH.” Airport South might be further than you want to travel.Geng AroundThe City of Grapevine oers a shule that covers most hotels during the day. Check with your hotel. Many of them oer shules to Main Street as or to DFW airport as well. TexRail can get you from DFW Terminal B to the Convenon for $2.50 or $1.25 for those 65+ for a one way cket. Ly and Uber operate on a regular basis. You can connect with other convenon goers on Facebook in the group “IPAT Convenon” and arrange a carpool. There is free parking across the street from the venue.Convenon SiteFarina’s, site of Gala dinnerIPAT MuseumConvenon Free ParkingApproximately .25 mile from Convenon to Museum—about 5 minute walkFor a full view of this map showing all eang and shopping venues on Main Street, scan the QR code.Have a queson? Our website has a Grapevine FAQ secon under the “Places to Stay & Things to Do” tab. There are eight places to eat at the Convenon venue, plus the restau-rants in the aached hotel—not to menon what is on Main Street. For breakfast, many hotels include that with the room. Check with your hotel for details.

11Get Your Paddles and Pens Ready! The Gala Arst Aucon and Dinner is one of IPAT’s most important fund raisers. This year, it will be at a restaurant consistently voted one of DFW’s favorites. Can’t make it in person? Don’t worry, you can sll support IPAT! Aucons will be done in a series of short med events; the rst running July 15-31. An Aucon Catalog is published on our website and Facebook along with instrucons. We will accept donaons for addional items unl the Convenon begins. Please Note: Issue 4 of the magazine is going to be delayed going to the printer. You will receive it in November, that way we can include Convenon coverage. Besides the Convenon, what is there to do in Grapevine? There are art galleries, outlet shopping, historic sites, wineries, vintage train rides, and more. There is some-thing for everyone! Visit www.GrapevineTexasUSA.com for more informaon. These, plus the piece on our back cover, are just a few of the items that have been donated. What exactly will be happening at the Museum? There will be a special Open House from 2:30—4:30 on Wednesday, October 2. Our evening event on Friday, October 4, will be at the Museum as well, Night at the Museum. If you have never been to the IPAT Museum, you are in for a real treat. If you haven’t been for a while, prepare to be wowed by the changes we have made over the past couple of years. Our Museum has transformed into one of the greatest hidden gems in North Texas—and we are working hard to get people to noce it! You will not be disappointed in your visit.

Heavenly Apsaras Dr. Corinna Siu, Hong Kong These are heavenly apsaras or celesal beings of the Mogao Grooes in Dunhuang, China. According to legend, these celesal beings would y and enchant the heavens with their music and dances during Buddha's teachings. They appear weightless as they glide through the air, their owing scarves creang vibrant colors. They hold musical instruments that blend with their graceful forms, creang harmony between sound and movement. In the boom right, there is a female dancer playing the pipa, a tradional Chinese lute, with great skill. She has a bun on her head, wears jewelry, and long pants. The pipa is posioned behind her head, and she plays it with her arms held diagonally. She dances with grace and rhythmic beats, shiing her weight and raising one leg. Her expression is composed and natural, showing serene beauty. This dance is just one example of the diverse cultural inuences found among these apsaras.

Worshipers seek her guidance in mes of uncertainty, despair, and fear. I used Gongbi, a tradional Chinese brush painng technique, to paint this artwork. This is characterized by delicate brushwork, subtle color gradaons, and symbolic elements like the lotus ower. Painng Guanyin is both an art form and a spiritual pracce, believed to evoke peace, compassion, and spiritual connecon when created or viewed. Scan the QR code for step photo. 15

15Darlene L. Jeries Iowa, USA I have loved art since I was a lile girl. My dad and grandfather were carvers and whilers and showed me the appreciaon of nature’s form. I was introduced to the art of porcelain painng by a wonderful teacher, Esther Karasek of the Quad City Area. Porcelain art puts detail in our creave world and helps us see what we would ordinarily miss by a mere glance. It not only helps one see form but there is a chemistry one learns from all the dierent metal oxides we use to paint. Painng helped me relax aer a busy day during my nursing career. It soothed my soul. Now rered, and having met many fellow porcelain painters who have become friends, I feel absolutely blessed. 16

蘇張美英 Su Chang Meiying 18 33PPaarrvveeeenn HHeemmmmaaddii Mumbai, India I studied commercial art (graphics and adversing) and worked as an art director in a leading adversing agency for nine years. During this me, I discovered the art of porcelain painng from a family friend, Silloo Mavji. In 1993, I took up painng on porcelain full me, holding solo exhibions and taking part in group exhibions as well. In 1996, I started teaching porcelain painng. I also teach oils, acrylics on canvas and watercolors. Over the last 31 years, I’ve taken workshops with many master porcelain and watercolor arsts, learning and refreshing techniques and subjects, from which my students also benet. 37

2950Kate Collins EnglandIt is dicult to know where to start as I did not begin with china painng. I was a freelance arst and sold my oil painngs mainly in Manchester, England. I also designed greengs cards that were sold all over the world by the Medici Society Ltd. A friend introduced me to china painng about 30 years ago. We used to go to local china painng shows where there were demonstraons by lots of good arsts. Eventually, I realized that I was aracted to luster ware. I liked the Wedgewood Fairyland luster ware which popped up in anque shops. But it was so very expensive. I decided to make my own. Although I hadn’t a clue on how to start, I asked the advice of a lady who owned a shop near my home. She sold china painng supplies and also had a kiln.I took her advice, buying about 5 luster colors and a new brush for each one. l also bought a large soup tureen with a lid to decorate. This is what I did: I took each brush in turn and painted bueries all over the tureen, inside and out. Bueries are easy to paint freehand, plus in between them I used pale blue and mother of pearl. I tried to keep the design as detailed and owing as I could. I then took it to be red. It came out looking glorious. In fact, it glowed. I was so happy. I took it to a gallery and sold it to the owner for 35 pounds! Aer this I vowed to carry on using modern techniques and buy my own kiln. All my work is freehand, but I use resist now.

Kate Collins 51Michela Bianchi, Italy Michela Bianchi lives in her nave city of Brescia (Italy). Since childhood, she has been fascinated by colors and brushes. She aended her rst porcelain painng course in 1981. A great passion was immediately born, which the arst connues to culvate with enthusiasm today. A reless researcher, her works range from the classical technique and trompe l'oeil of marble and semi-precious stones, to modern techniques using lusters, reliefs and chip-o powder. Since 1996 she has developed her personal technique by combining 24K gold leaf with classic and modern techniques. “Hydrangeas” Vase 53

“Hydrangeas” Vase Step by Step by Michela BianchiStep 1 Do penwork on the leaves using Black color and the owers using Medium Grey.Step 2 Use Red Resist around the owers and let them dry. You can use a hair drier or hot air to dry the resist.  Apply Blue Luster and Purple Luster to owers in the front, the back and the scaered owers.  Dab the remaining owers with Mae White color. Let dry.  For the background, create a band separang the top part from the rest of background using 9mm masking tape.  Use 3mm and 6mm masking tapes to create the white bands on the band on the top, then sponge Mae Blue on the top edge. Let dry. Remove Red Resist and masking tapes. Step 3 Apply Red Resist to the exisng owers.  Pad the background with Light Blue Green and Light Blue colors mixed with Universal Medium (drying medium). Let dry and remove Red Resist.  Paint the owers with Mae White and with Medium Pink and Purple. Paint the leaves with Medium Green.Step 4 Use Metallic Gold to outline all the owers painted with luster. Use Medium Pink to intensify some owers in Mae White. Add Yellow Relief with small dots in the center of the owers. With masking tape, mask the outside edges of the 9mm white band. Apply Liquid Bright Gold to the white band. Remove the masking tape. Step 5Aer last ring, put Crystal Magic on the bright gold edge. Crystal Magic is not red.All rings at 015 or 770C54

“Iris” Plate by Michela Bianchi There were thirteen steps.  Do penwork on all owers with a grey color. Paint the main owers with mae color.  Use acid to opacify the background and highlight the crossing leaves.  Apply shading on the owers. Apply relief with gold stardust on the leaves. Paint a black outline border. 55

56 SUNFLOWERS (Side View) By Jane Bowen, Georgia, USA

SUNFLOWERS (Side View) By Jane Bowen, Georgia, USA Colors used: Mixing Yellow, Buff, Yellow Brown 2, Rembrandt Brown, Violet of Iron, Eve Green, Chrome Green, Kelly Green, Shading Green, Black Green. Brushes and Tools used: Square shaders, pointers, liners, wipe out tool. How to design Sunflowers are borne on thick, strong stems and have large leaves. Study the different varieties as each will have slightly different foliage. To create a pleasing design on the porcelain, draw ovals where you intend to locate the blossoms. Try to make each flower a different shape and be sure to have some behind others. The stems can curve to enhance the design on the porcelain. Buds and spent blossoms lend interest to the design with different shapes and lines. Centers of the flowers are composed of yellow, green or brown stamens which soon become fat seeds. The seeds are arranged in a circular shape and have highlights on the higher areas. How to paint Brush on each petal, with shading toward the center and lights where the highlight areas will be. Brush on the outer layer of petals first, loading your brush with Mixing Yellow, Buff and Yellow Brown 2. Apply an inner row of petals in slightly lighter tones. Wipe out some smaller "straggler" petals. Shade the under petals with Yellow Brown 2, Rembrandt Brown, or the green colors. Between some of the petals paint '''V'' shapes, but vary the V's and the spacing for variety. Use a tiny liner loaded with the deeper flower colors to add thin lines on the petals. The lines look best if you paint them on from the center to the outer edges. That way the lines get slenderer as they extend toward the petal edges. Interest is added to this design by the addition of long bits of dried plant material. Use a #3 Pointer loaded with Violet of Iron for these leaves. They are very effective in keeping movement within the design. Do as many fires as needed to achieve the desired results. 57
