2024 October Newsletter
From the Office of the PresidentSeptember’s
seminar was a seminar to remember. We hosted Lise Lorentzen who recently
earned her gold medal in Rosemaling from Vesterheim. I have never rosemaled before
and had a
lot of anxiety about struggling or not being able to finish my
projects and if I did finish what
would they look like?
Lise
is very personable and has a background in teaching students who have
learning challenges.
Lise used her skills of being able to break down instructions into manageable
pieces. I truly enjoyed the seminar and my anxiety very quickly went
away. Lise
made rosemaling easy. She was a delight and there was zero stress.
One of her mottos
is “it’s just paint”.
Everyone
enjoyed the seminar and had voiced requests for Lise to return. It
was exciting
to see that even those who have had many years of rosemaling gained new insights
and techniques. You can check Lise out on her You Tube channel “Art
of Lise” where
you can learn basic strokes and more. You can also take part in one
of her zoom classes
on Rosemaling.com or through the Vesterheim museum. Additionally, rosemaling.com
has a section of recorded classes that are free.
We
want to give a special thank you to Lindsay and Winston Bruns,
OnyaTolmasoff, Scotty Foster, and all of those who have supported
GSDP with donations of time and items over this and past years. We
also want to thank the companies who have supported us this year,
Chroma Paints, Silver Brushes, Cupboard Distributing and StudioR12
Stencils. We couldn't do what we do without you. Thanks again!!!
(See these and many other web pages on the link page of the newsletter.)
The
seminar offered many fellowship opportunities and I had a wonderful
time getting to know
some of our members more in depth. We are very fortunate to have such amazing
people within our club, thank you for being you.
