12" Telemark Plate by Mary Schliep

Simply beautiful design!  Spectacular 12" painted plate in the Telemark Style of Rosemaling is carefully painted by our wonderful instructor Mary Schliep. Rosemaling means "rose painting" in Norwegian, and the Telemark region in southeastern Norway is known for the classic look of its painting with asymmetrical scrolls and varied placement of leaves and flowers.  The plate has a wide rim of gilded Ochre Red and a black center. The decorative painting is in ochre with shades of blue, gold, cream, and olive green.  The plate is ready to hang on your wall for a touch of classic Scandinavian culture.  

Mary has taught at North House for over 20 years and is a walking encyclopedia and teacher of all things Rosemaling. She has a devoted following and is happy to share her skills with beginners and experienced painters alike. Mary started rosemaling in 1989 and has been busily painting ever since. Mary specializes in the Valdres and Telemark styles (each defined by the geographic region where they found their beginning in Scandinavia). Since the school’s founding, Mary has been a consistent teacher at North House. She primarily does consignment work for people across the nation. Mary has studied with twelve Gold Medalists and two Norwegian instructors.
