Move from practice sheets to project in the Os style of rosemaling, which is full of welcome bright colors for the darkening days. Get started on this lovely plate and get your questions answered with Kim Garrett. Students are welcome to watch or paint-along as they prefer. For an Os refresher, see the morning offering.

You may also be interested in the Os-style refresher course in the morning of the same day.

You will need the following tools for this class:

A laptop or tablet is recommended, but a desktop with a webcam and audio or a smartphone phone can work. If using a tablet or laptop, plug your device in or have your charger handy!  Be sure to have a strong internet connection.

Project Woodenware:

12 inch double beaded plate (usually available at www.Vikingwoodcraft.com or www.hofcraft.com). Vesterheim Museum’s Folkart store sometimes has them as well. You can also use a single outside beaded plate. Make sure the internal diameter is about 8 inches. Paint this a teal or turquoise color. I used dark Victorian teal by Delta Ceramcoat. You can also background the plate in black (some of the colors will have to be adjusted).

I would also paint a piece of poster board or cardboard for practice if you have not painted in the Os-style before
