Welcome! (Or should we say Velkommen?) Come try your hand at the Telemark style of rosemaling and make a welcome sign to greet visitors to your home! In this class that includes demonstration and plenty of hands-on practice, you will have the opportunity to choose between making a sign reading "Welcome" in English or the Norwegian "Velkommen." This class is designed for beginning painters with previous experience, as well as more advanced painters and will be taught using acrylic paints.

Lise Lorentzen, VGM

Rosemaling Artist and Instructor

Lise Lorentzen currently resides in Bel Air, MD, after spending most of her life as a resident of Staten Island, NY. Lise grew up in a household with strong ties to the Norwegian-American community, which included her church, Sons of Norway, and family back in the “old country”. She was a child that always played with paints, so it was natural for her parents to enroll her in a rosemaling course given at her local Sons of Norway lodge.
