The Online Seminars have 7 different Seminars you may select from at this time. New ones will be added in the near future.
 

After having lived in Norway for 17 years, Joan and her husband Thor have moved back to Florida where Joan has set up a brand new studio with teaching facilities only a few yards from the deep water leading to the Gulf of Mexico. You can even visit their place by any size motor or sail boat.

Joan is busting with authentic Rosemaling techniques, mostly obtained during her long stay in Norway, the homeland of Rosemaling, that she can't wait to share with her fellow citizens, friends and many readers. Being the only known American that ever came to Norway teaching the Norwegian their own folk art at the University, you will find her background and experience in teaching this wonderful art form quite unique. 

As you may know, she has published several Rosemaling books, art articles in major art publications since the late seventies, and been the very first to offer Online Rosemaling Seminars.

Starting March 1, Joan will be teaching her very first Rosemaling Seminar since moving back to USA. This will be a 3-day Seminar with a limited number of about 10 students to make sure that you will receive lots of personal attention as well as a friendly class atmosphere. The tuition will also be a special low announcement fee of only $39 per day.
