[From front jacket flap] This is Gigi Branch: I have been painting on china ever since I left school when I went to be trained in Paris by M le Tallec, the china decorator to Royalty. I simply love the traditional designs of Sevres, and since I came to live in England I have been teaching china painting in the French style as well as working on commissions in my own studio. I know how hard it is, when you are learning, to control your materials and your hand, but I know, too, how much pleasure there is when a design comes right. China painting needs a lot of practice, but it is something you can do on your own at home with little equipment, or in the company of others. Many of my pupils have asked me to write a book so that all the strokes and techniques I describe in my teaching are clearly shown, both in pictures and in words, for reference and as patterns. So here it is, and inside you will find the techniques of groundlaying and lining, marbling, gilding and relief work and many others, as well as all the flowers, garlands and ribbons. Painting on china is fun, and can be very rewarding. The book is illustrated in colour throughout, and lists suppliers and associations
