The classic instruction manual for
china painting, “Tried by Fire” was written in 1886 by Susan Stuart
Goodrich Frackelton (1851-1932), a leader in the American Arts and
Crafts Movement. Mrs. Frackelton was a native of Milwaukee,
Wisconsin and studied landscape painting under Henry Viandon. She
was most famous for her china painting, which demonstrated her
artistic training and observations of nature, and received numerous
medals of excellence from various expositions. This manual
describes, in detail, her methods for hand china decoration.
