This online class is for beginning rosemalers and experienced rosemalers alike. Instead of painting, we will be focusing our energy on demystifying the design process – which can be more intimidating than painting itself! Vesterheim Gold Medalist Patti Goke will empower you to incorporate Nordfjord style elements into your own unique designs. All you need is your creativity and a desire to do some drawing!
This class includes three Zoom sessions:
- Saturday, March 13, 10am-12 pm CT
- Saturday, March 13, 3:30-5:30 pm CT.
- Sunday, March 21, 1-2:30 pm CT
We ask that you plan to be "working" on rosemaling from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on the first Saturday. From 12-3:30 p.m. is independent work time, where you will have prerecorded YouTube videos made by your instructor as a guide. This course includes an additional Sunday session for collaborative learning. The goal of the Sunday session is to give students a week of time to design some work, then to come back to the class for discussion and feedback.
