Rosemaling Boreal Forest Wildflowers Workshop with Tara Austin

Capture the beauty of boreal forest wildflowers using rosemaling techniques. The Upper Midwest and Scandinavia share evergreen forests with striking wildflowers which have inspired folk art motifs for generations. In this one-day workshop, rosemaling artist Tara Austin will lead students through a localized adaptation of rosemaling techniques to depict three northern Minnesota wildflowers: the wild rose, lady slipper, and marsh marigold. This workshop offers a chance to focus on modern forms using traditional brushstroke technique and materials, and students will depart with several unique pieces of artwork suitable for framing or gifting.
