Luffa Insert
Troy Tatum
This exciting class will guide you through the technique of preparing and using luffa as a gourd insert. Students will color the bottom of the gourd, cutout the half leaf opening, carve the other half leaf design and scribble carve the central border and rim.

Mini Journal and Seed Saving Box
Laurie Weiand
This will be a "well rounded" project for different techniques I will instruct you on. You will learn how I turned a Hopi Rattle gourd into a storage box to save those treasured gourd seeds a lot of us like to save. Or maybe you like to journal and write about what you have made out of those favorite gourds. I will have the gourd prepped and ready to start the wood burning process of a design of your choice. Then you will move on to the alcohol inks that you will create another design on your gourd. I will teach you my technique I used to get the tiny droplet look on the gourd. All the paper crafting items will be furnished as well. (Packaging for the seeds to store and a mini journal that you will be able to assemble.)
