Lunar Rain Art: The Ceramic Making Process
Lunar Rain Art: The Ceramic Making Process by George Collins.
Lunar Rain porcelain art is handmade in Vancouver, Canada in our studio and is available in our online shop at LunarRain.com. Each piece is molded in porcelain clay before being hand-painted. Scroll down to see pictures of our making process.

After 2 weeks of drying, we then bisque fire them in our kiln.

When the bisque fired pieces have cooled, they are then hand-painted. Hand-painting the underglaze is a delicate process where the artist, Melissa Chen, paints on animals, insects, plant life and other details. The painter has to be very careful to not rub on the painted surface while painting because the underglaze dries to a powdery finish that rubs off easily; any contact will smudge and blur the paintings.

After the glazed pieces are fired in the kiln, they are then ready to use to display jewelry and other small objects and to admire as art pieces! Below are pictures of the finished ceramic art.
