Description
Class description: This class will combine beginner scrollwork and linework into a cohesive Telemark Rosemaling design. Students will learn a simple C and S stroke design for the center of an 8” rim plate, with or without a double bead. Students will learn to background their plate as well as learn or refresh their strokework and linework skills. Methods of transferring a pattern, different flower designs and border options will be presented. Students will develop and paint their own central design and border for their plate. There will be a discussion of varnishing so students can do so on their own after a period of drying time if desired.
