Free Gourd Workshops

How do you pick out the right gourds?

How do you clean them?

How do you use a woodburner?

You've got questions and now there's a great way to have all of your questions answered
with veteran Gourd Artist, Dianne Connelly.

Join us the second Saturday of each month for a FREE Gourd Crafting Workshop! You'll be introduced to the world of gourd crafting by top Gourd Artist and Instructor, Dianne Connelly who will show you how to prepare and work with gourds, including the best tools, techniques, and finishes.

Plus you'll receive a FREE DVD when you arrive for the workshop! This DVD, "How to Use GourdMaster™ Products" will give you even more information on crafting gourds and normally sells on our web site for $9.95. It's yours free when you attend the workshop.

Then, if you choose to, you can stay and play! For just $19.95, you can select a cleaned, craft-ready gourd and try your hand at working with all the GourdMaster™ products, woodburning, and more! All under the expert supervision of your instructor, Dianne Connelly.

New! Mini Gourd Projects Now Part of Workshops!

The Free Gourd Workshop takes place every second Saturday of the month, and now when you sign up for the optional Hands-On portion of the workshop, you can elect to create that month's featured project!

This month's Hands-On Gourd Project is a Sunflower Gourd Bowl with Lid, pictured below, created by Dianne Connelly.
(Dianne will also teach you how to create a cool "textured" look on the sunflower petals!)

Or, if you prefer, you can still create your own gourd project using all of the GourdMaster products.
