Description
Jane Wilson teaches two one-day workshops where students learn to embellish a prepared gourd. These two workshops are similar but different and can be taken separately or together for a fun-filled weekend! To take both workshops, sign up for each separately. The second workshop is Jul 31, 2022.
This workshop is on Saturday. You will learn open and close coil, a basket weaving technique, using hand-dyed Danish cord on a ready-to-weave gourd (cut, cleaned, and painted with a metallic finish) and to add beads as embellishments. You will have a choice of colors of gourds, cord, and thread to make the design your own. $40 materials fee for one day or $70 for both days, paid directly to the instructor. Maximum class size is 12.
About the Instructor:
Jane Wilson was introduced to gourds in 2007 while still living in her home state of Kansas. An avid crafter who already had wood-carving skills, she became intrigued by another artist’s use of color and wood-burning techniques on gourds and began to develop these skills through classes and videos. Jane began to add coiling or twining to her gourds, developing a way to dye the cords to match the colors she uses on the gourds. Jane has shown locally and has also won competitions for her gourd art.
