I just found out about this interesting lineage organization.

The Porcelain Art School of Indiana PASI will return to the Morgan County Fairgrounds Sept. 8-12. This is one of the last remaining art schools in the nation teaching the art of painting on porcelain. We will be welcoming over 60 students and teachers from 14 states. The school will operate from 9 am-4pm each day and is open to the public to come and visit. You will have the opportunity to see the creation of fine hand painted porcelain. You can see the many kilns which will be set up in the Merchants Building where all the porcelain is fired each evening. Previously the school has been featured in print and TV media. We welcome all ages and perhaps you will be interested in possibly taking a class when it returns in 2025. Here are some of the subjects that the classes will be painting.
