Camellia City Porcelain Artists celebrate 50 years

Watch flowers “bloom,” birds take “flight” and so much more – thanks to the skill of talented artists. Their “canvas”? Porcelain plates, cups and other surfaces.

On Saturday, Oct. 12, the Camellia City Porcelain Artists celebrates its golden anniversary with its 50th annual Sacramento show and sale at Shepard Garden and Arts Center. Admission and parking are free.

From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., patrons are invited to browse the show, packed with beautifully hand-painted creations. Painting demonstrations will be held throughout the day. Artists will be at work and available to explain their process and answer questions.

A highlight of this show is a fully decorated Christmas tree packed with hand-painted ornaments. The tree and all its bling will be raffled off for charity.

Speaking of Christmas, this show is packed with holiday gift items (including more ornaments).
