Wrens 2007

Gourd Education Day 2007- Wrens, Georgia

Sponsored by The Coastal Gourd Sprouts

This year classes were set up in a round robin style! When we finished the class and after putting some finishing touches on at home we will have a wonderful Native American sampler gourd looking similar to the one shown here. We used four different techniques to produce this wonderful gourd, wax resist, leather dye, paint and air dry clay. Time and weather did not permit us to complete the project today but we got very close. The wind was blowing so hard that everything wanted to blow away and the paint was drying way to fast but thank goodness we didn't have any rain this year.
Lunch was wonderful, I think we should have everyone bring their recipe with their dish next time, Ms. Lena's chicken and rice casserole was my favorite - I MUST HAVE THAT RECIPE.

Below are some of the photos that were taken at Wrens by Tina Norford and Sarah Moon. If you took photos Saturday and would like to share them with everyone, please send them to me and I will post them on this webpage. All photos sent to me will also be included in the new DVD Photo Slideshow that I am creating for the GGS show in July (unless you specify otherwise). You may send your photos to me via email or snail mail, I will scan hard copies and/or negatives and return the originals to you unharmed.
