Maker Series: Rosemaling Telemark Style

Vesterheim has returned to Massachusetts! We will work on the basics of rosemaling, including the history, the strokes, and how to paint simple scrolls and flowers. This is a class without pressure to constantly practice. This class will focus on historical usage of paint in reference to the painting of the period. We will be painting in the Telemark tradition inspired by Sigmund Aarseth on a 12-inch Nordic edge plate. The class projects will employ a progression of shapes and surfaces creating more of a challenge for the painter.

October 12th – 14th (Friday – Sunday) | Sons of Norway members receive member price

The class runs 9am-5pm Friday through Sunday

The Kaffestugan (Scandinavian Cafe) will be open Saturday for open faced sandwiches and pastries, but please bring a lunch and water for other days.

THURSDAY!CONCERT: Sofia TalvikA North Sea siren blending sparkle and melancholy with a twang of Americana.Sofia Talvik is a rare artist and an avid storyteller with a voice comparable to giants like Joni Mitchell, or as the Folk/Americana Magazine NoDepression said it ”A singer/songwriter who is able to evoke the essence of Laurel Canyon circa the ‘60s as expressed in the work of Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, Buffy Sainte-Marie and others who were able to paint beautiful tapestries from words and music.”.Prepare yourself for a unique and intimate evening, not unlike the 70’s coffeehouses and speakeasy’s. You will be up close and personal with a world class act that has played big festivals like Lollapalooza and SxSW and opened for artists like Maria McKee and David Duchovny (X-files, Californication). It is in this kind of setting where she can casually joke and communicate with the audience that her strength as a performer shines the most.Her delicate songs are performed in an intimate way, showing off Sofia’s angelic voice enhanced only by a tasteful mix of harmonies and delays, accompanied by the steady picking of her acoustic guitar and the rhythm section consisting of her own two feet, bells and a stomp box.She’s an experienced international touring artist who has toured through 48 U.S states, many of the countries in Europe and far away places like New Zealand.Her latest album “Center of the Universe” was released in 2023. Throughout the 10 songs on the album, there is a broad range of topics of some of life’s most earnest moments, ranging from the Ukraine War, American women’s rights, the thousands of missing children in the US and the torment of domestic violence survivors across the world. The album went straight into the top 20 on Folk Radio Charts USA in August 2023, with the first single charting in the top 10. The album was considered for a Grammy nomination for “Best Folk album” 2023.Thursday, April 25th | 7pm | $20, $10 for SCC Members ... See MoreSee Less
