Artist
Paula Gregg leads this decorative gourd crafting workshop
with a unique twist ‑ a ‘free‑floating’
pine needle coil that follows the rim of the gourd bowl and
then continues to curl around in any shape imaginable.
Students learn the art of pine needle coiling and make
their gourd unique with this free form shape. Gourds can also
be decorated with wood‑burning, dyes, stains and other
natural materials. Limit
