Oval Rosemal Plate by Mary Schliep

Oval Rosemal plate created in the Valdres style by long time North House instructor Mary Schliep. The Valdres style is distinctive for its bouquet or garland of realistic looking flowers. This handcrafted plate is painted in a traditional red background adorned with a cheerful bouquet of flowers arranged in colors of red, blue, gold and ivory with accents of delicate white floral clusters and dark green foliage.  The plate is 14" wide by 11" high and is affixed with hanger ready to adorn your home.  

Mary has been teaching 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, 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!
