North House Folk School

In this class we will learn about the dynamic acanthus leaves of Gudbrandsdal style rosemaling and apply it to a 8” square wood panel. Our designs will be inspired by the iconic Norwegian knitting pattern called a Selburose. A Selburose is characterized by an Octagram shape that we will incorporate the scrolls, leaves, flowers, and linework of rosemaling into. The finished project will radiate a glowing design that will be a star decoration in your home.
