A Whimsical Medallion
In this class, we’ll transform the top of a canteen gourd into a charming, one-of-a-kind medallion. Using flowing, fancy curves and decorative wood burning techniques, you’ll learn how to add movement, texture, and personality to your design. This project has several different techniques that can be used on any gourd. Once completed, the medallion can be mounted onto a canvas to create a unique wall hanging that blends gourd art with mixed media. This class is perfect for artists who enjoy detail, creativity, and adding a whimsical touch to their gourd work.
