Back From the Ashes with Liz Bucheit: Restoring and Rejuvenating Norwegian Sølje
What do you do when a family heirloom is caught in a house fire? You work towards restoring it… no matter how hard or how long it takes.
Join Goldsmith Liz Bucheit for a story of an almost lost sølje that was restored through tireless work and artistry. From a house fire to the workshop, learn about the process that a master goldsmith had to go through to help bring the beloved family heirloom of Norwegian silver jewelry back from the ashes, and to its rejuvenated beauty. Liz tells a story of trials and tribulations, as well as elbow grease. She shows photos of the piece and process as it was restored from charred remnants to the cherished family heirloom that it once was.

When you hear of the style of painting that comes from Numedal, what image comes to mind? It is hard to think of a typical Numedal piece, isn't it? That is because it had so many influences from Hallingdal and Telemark painters. Did you know that Thomas Luraas was one of the Telemark painters to leave his mark in Numedal? There were many "inside" influences too, because there were many creative...

    I did not know that about the measuring cups - but then I prefer scales. More consistent and repeatable. And when measuring out butter I find scales much easier.... Cinnamon is really important spice in Norway, and usually cardamom is used in abundance. And yeah! Taco Friday! As important as rømmegrøt on Saturday 😜

    As an American woman who once lived in Bergen, Norway, remembering all those moments with groups of friends, sitting at the sea talking over coffee (fresh from thermos) and fresh waffles berries and cream, or pushing furniture aside in a flat to drink and dance the night away snacking on on fresh seafood and amazing cheeses and berries. Most of those friends from 38 years ago are still FB friends. Every beautiful memory I had with them can only be described as Koselig! So I am in the process of of opening a glamping location here in Florida and it will be called Koselig, and it will 100% represent the word ❤️

    Delightful stories and lovely, animated presentation. I had never heard that version of the castle East of the Sun & West of the Moon - so much more inviting than the castle filled with menacing trolls keeping a prince captive, that the girl riding the North Wind comes to rescue in the tale East of the Sun & West of the Moon. Perhaps the girl and the prince become King Frost & Queen Snow - the old tale does not say, but I like the implications.
