Kurt Weiser is crazy talented. I haven't even stepped anywhere close to the world of china paints... I don't have the patience that takes. Thank goodness Weiser does because his pieces are so wonderful!

My wife and I are both ex-students of Kurt Weiser's from Arizona State University back in the 1990's. One of the things he did at the time that I really didn't give him credit for, was to put fantastic works created by other artists directly in our hands to explore. Getting to a genuinely "feel" fine craftsmanship with our own hands gave us a good idea of what the Potters Art could be and what to strive towards.
