CLASS ON DEMAND! Let's Design! Nordfjord Rosemaling
Join Patti Goke, VGM, and discover the little known style of Nordfjord rosemaling.
Nordfjord is a region on the west coast of Norway where early farmers, to supplement their income and to keep from starving, turned bowls, painted them with geometric shapes, stylized tulips and undulating S strokes. The colors of the palette were minimal and simple.
These bowls had a particular shape and were used for the drinking of beer and used for all festivities: weddings, christenings, Christmas, etc.
Of all the styles of rosemaling, Nordfjord is one of the most approachable of styles for everyone.
In our time together we will look at many pictures Patti has collected through the years, explore a bit of history and geography, and examine the three areas of decoration.
