Intro to Kohlrosing a Butter Knife

Saturday, December 7, 2024 | 10A - 1P | One-day workshop | $100

Kohlrosing is known to be a Scandinavian decorative technique dating back to at least the Middle Ages involving rubbing dark color into incisions cut in wood using oil and finely ground powders such as charcoal, cinnamon, or coffee. This technique was and is used to decorate wooden spoons, containers, and other wooden objects in material culture with lettering, patterns, designs, and line drawings. In this workshop, we will practice Kohlrosing techniques on wood first before working on a pre-prepared wooden butterknife, laying out a design, incising the wood, rubbing in the oil and powder, and burnishing the design leaving behind a lovely image.

Supplies: All materials are included with registration. This is a close-up technique so be prepared with glasses if you use them!
