The association was announced in the magazine “Tekenen & Schilderen” (Drawing and Painting) in september/october of 1988 with the name “Het Porselein Schilder Genootschap” (The Porcelain Painting Association, abbr,: PSG in Dutch). The introduction was with the following text:

Just as interesting as oilpainting...
Just as nice as painting with watercolours, but different...
That is porcelain painting!

And that still remains!

In october 1987 mrs A. Douma-Boomstra started in this magazine with articles about porcelainpainting. She was a founding member of the editorial team. On february 27nd 1988 the Porcelain Painting Association was founded and on may 28th the executive committee was installed during a general meeting and the regulations were approved.
On Saturday september 17th the executive committee had their first information day. It was held on the castle Sypesteyn in Loosdrecht. Several porcelain painting demonstrations were given and there were guided tours around the castle.

The association had two pages in the magazine “Drawing and Painting” which meant that six times a year announcements, tips and news were published. Every member of the Porcelain Painting Association received the bi-monthly magazine.

Also members could send in ‘splinters’. These are small advertisements for members to buy or sell porcelain related items. During that period the Servicetelephone was started. Members could ask questions about everything related to porcelain painting. In 1990 the association started with their own newsletter: the “PSG Medium”. This newsletter still is published every month with lots of porcelain news and painting examples. The PSG still organizes painting days and other activities.
