Description
Kolrosing is a traditional Scandinavian art form used to decorate utilitarian wooden items such as spoons, plates, small boxes, and lefse sticks. You will be incising/stippling the surface of the wood and backfilling with various pigments.
You will be able to complete numerous projects for family and friends.
The only thing you need to bring to this class is a smile – Scott will bring the rest. Please join us for three days of fun, learning the basics of kolrosing and beyond.
Supplies
Scott has put together kolrosing kits for each student to purchase for the class. These kits include numerous stippling tools, knives, oils, and pigments.
