Be prepared to clean, cut, dye, paint, drill, weave and embellish gourds.  The goal is to have a finished gourd every day. No experience necessary. Desire to have fun is required. Supplies included. $30 materials fee payable to instructor.

Sioux George has had an infectious addiction to gourds for eight years.  It is highly contagious!

Bryce taught high school Industrial Arts and Math for 25 years. Woodworking is one of his hobbies that transfers well to gourds. For the last seven years, he has been the “Tool Guy” when gourders ask “How do I do this?”
