Dyed Gourd Bowl with Pine Needle Rim

Guest Instructor Susan Lester.

The first question most people ask me when I say I do gourd art is What is a gourd? We will spend the first few minutes of class learning about what goes into the preparation of a gourd to make it ready for the many methods of art you can apply to this versatile vessel.
The gourds we will be using in class are going to be cleaned and ready for you to dye and apply a pine needle rim to. Students will use gourd ink dyes and pigment powders for coloring their gourd bowls. Dyed and prepared pines for the rims will add the finishing touch. The bowls are approximately 5 to 6 inches in diameter.

Please bring a pair of small sharp scissors. All other supplies will be provided.

*Our workshops are appropriate for ages 14 to adult*

COVID-19 Safety protocol: For the safety of teachers as well as students, we will be requiring anyone in the studio taking classes or shopping, to wear masks and keep their hands clean. Students can go outside to take breaks and get fresh air during class, but must be masked at all times inside the studio. If you anticipate this being too cumbersome please wait to register for a class at a later date when these restrictions are lifted. Classes will be limited to six students as we ease into reopening. Studio and common tools will be sanitized after each workshop.
