Rosemaling a Snowflake in the Hallingdal Tradition with Lise Lorentzen (Online)

Come join us for the fun and festive Hallingdal-inspired snowflake and get ready for the winter season. This class is a study of symmetry, line work, and detail that solidifies the technique with this repetitive design. We will practice brush strokes, brush control, paint consistency, and detailing in this fun Hallingdal design. You will finish with a lovely keepsake. This is a two-sided project.    Lise Lorentzen’s love of rosemaling began at the age of 11 during her first class at the local Sons of Norway Lodge. Her rosemaling can now be found throughout the United States, Canada, and Norway, and she has had the great fortune to attend classes with many renowned Norwegian and American rosemaling artists, including an apprenticeship with Eldrid Arntzen (Vesterheim Gold Medalist) in 2009. Lise has been awarded nationally for her work, including a Vesterheim Gold Medal in 2024. She continues to share rosemaling through her commission pieces, galleries and shows, social media, and teaching. Lise has a B.A. in art history and elementary education and an M.S. in special education. A former educator in New York City, she now resides in Maryland with her husband, three children, and two dogs.
