Gourds were used by indigenous people to carry water or hold food or other items.  They are part of our local history.  But today they are turned into amazing works of art that sit on your table.  They come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes and can be carved with sharp tools or a dremel, wood-burned, dyed, laced, inlayed and decorated with all kinds of amazing materials.  Learn about the vast variety of gourds, and several techniques to beautify them.  Put this knowledge to work as you create your own unique works of art.
