The Art of Painted Porcelain
DATE: August 6, 2012
The Art of Painted Porcelain
Featuring the Work of Jane Briley


July through September, the Farmer House Museum will be featuring the work of Jane Briley, a contemporary painter on porcelain. Ms. Briley began painting on china in 1972. On moving to Bloomington, Ms. Briley became active in teaching and promoting china painting, particularly through the activities of the Blooms of Bloomington china painting club. Ms. Briley's work is traditional in style, timeless in its grace and charm. Her work is also currently on display at The Venue, Fine Art and Gifts, in Bloomington. The Farmer House thanks Jane Briley, and the Venue, for loaning her creations.

A side exhibit takes a look commercial porcelain from the first decades of the Twentieth Century. In the 1880s elaborately decorated porcelain came into fashion. Manufacturers all over the world hired independent decorators or started their own decoration departments. The marks on the backs of porcelain often tell a story of the items creation, from initial firing, to decorator, to distributor, to retailer, to consumer.
The Farmer House is located at 529 North College Ave. in downtown Bloomington, right across College Ave. from the Waffle House. The museum is open Wednesday-Sunday 10-1, with additional hours until 4pm on Saturday. Admission is free. The telephone number is 336-5597.
