Jean Honl: Traditional Norwegian Art, Roseau MN

In 1974, Jean Honl enrolled in a rosemaling class. It was there, that she fell in love with the beautiful scrolls and flowers so prevalent in this Norwegian folk art. Today, she is a master at her craft, and makes most of the items that she rosemal's in her woodworking shop in Roseau, Minnesota.

About the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund
In 2008, Minnesota voters passed a landmark piece of legislation — the Minnesota Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment — which provided funding to public television stations serving audiences in Minnesota. Its mission is to help preserve and document the treasures of culture, history, and heritage that make Minnesota special, and to increase access to the natural and cultural resources we all share.
