Phyllis McElhinney, porcelain artist and teacher, is available for seminars across the United States. She often travels with her husband in their lovely travel trailer, and stays at a local campground (with electricity, water, and sewer) near your seminar location. When traveling alone, Phyllis prefers to stay at a hostess home.

Phyllis' experience in china painting allows her to offer a wide range of seminar subjects taken from her collection of studies. If you are interested in a seminar, just browse her china painting studies, and give her a call to arrange a time. For more details about Phyllis' seminars download and print her contract.

Travel expenses depend on the specifics of the trip, but Phyllis is happy to play your seminar to coordinate with her travel to shows, exhibits, and other events. Your painting club will learn a lot, and she looks forward to meeting you and your friends soon.
