16" Rosemal Plate by Mary Schliep

Another distinctive Rosemal plate by North House's own Mary Schliep! This plate is 16" in diameter and painted in the Rudsemanmaling style of Rosemaling with Telemark influences. Painted with a black background the symmetrical bouquet of flowers emanate from the center in shades of red and hints of dark orange. 

Mary Schliep has been teaching at North House for over 20 years and is a walking encyclopedia and teacher of all things Rosemaling. She has a very distinctive and sought-after style of painting and 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, and brings her love and expertise of Rosemaling to the many Rosemaling courses that she teaches as well as to the crafted pieces that she brings into our school store to sell to the public!
