Artwork transformed into Men’s neckwear 

 

 

Beautiful Lake Como slowly became like a second home. For over 12 years I had the pleasure of visiting this magnificent place for 5 weeks every year. I would visit 15+ art studios and search for just the right look to translate into my next collection.  My client was Dayton-Hudson-Marshall Field’s 63 department stores. My collection made up their private label Woodward traditional and Cezani contemporary neckwear line for the stores. After finalizing the collection I would send out the artwork to a several fabric mills for either printing or weaving. The mills would do samples or strike offs of the patterns and then I would spend a month or more coloring and finalizing the collection. I was a wonderful career that I loved deeply. Rick Carlson

Norwegian Rosemaling

Taught by Connie Kotke


Try this beautiful folk art by blending oil paints and applying them with small brushes to the top of a small wooden candle holder. This year, we'll try a new style called "Os" (pronounced oose). It features bright colors and fine details in a more geometric pattern than the Telemark style that was taught the last two years. Instructor will walk you through step by step...and you can add a bit of flair on your own. 


Supply fee of $20 includes holder, candle and all painting supplies.

February 25th 9:00 - 4:00
