Swedish Folk Painting: Fantastical Kurbits
-
October 23, 2022
10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Join art professor Alison Aune in a Swedish folk art workshop. Alison will lead participants in creating Dalecarlia Kurbit Dalmålning, also known as kurbits painting or Dala painting, which flourished in Sweden in the 18th and 19th centuries. The kurbit was a fantastical gourd plant commonly used in folk paintings in Dalarna Sweden, as a symbol of good luck. Participants will create their own creative interpretations as we revive the tradition using a contemporary color palette!
