Rosemaling: Beautiful Traditional Folk Art

Supplies

Featured Today: Our Rosemaling Stencil Collection!

Norwegian for “decorative painting,” Rosemåling is a form of decorative folk art that originated in the rural valleys of Norway. It is a style of decorative painting on wood that uses stylized flower ornamentation, scrollwork, lining, and geometric elements; often in flowing patterns.

This traditional folk art form is also common in Sweden, where it’s called Kurbits!

You will find some Dutch designs in this category. Complementary stencil category: Folk Art.

Tip: if you like part of a stencil’s design, you can tape off the stencil to only reveal the portion you wish to stencil. This is called creating a motif.
