Come and join us at a gourd summer camp! Sioux George will be
teaching a class about working with gourds.
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. With gourding,
one thing leads to another, to another, to another ... its endlessly
creative and fun! 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 George will be on hand to assist with technical questions. 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?”
