Birdhouses and Bowls: Working with Gourds w/ Dawn Wesemann
upcoming workshop date to be announced
This class will teach you how to take untreated gourds and turn them into functional, spring birdhouses and beautiful, artful gourd bowls.
We will explore various surface treatments such as stains, dyes, gold-leaf, wood burning, and carving. We will also use natural, found elements such as driftwood, branches, and bamboo to make handles and perches. Sea grass, pine needles, and other found objects can be used to weave onto the rim of the gourd. Let your love of nature and your imagination take over!

~ Additional gourds will be available for purchase.
~ Students will have use of all tools and various weaving and coloring supplies.
