Meet
the Artists that are Gourds
of Distinction The
three of us are all long time members of the Sequoia/Tulare
Gourd Patch in Visalia, CA. We have watched each other
advance in the creativity and originality in the art of hand-crafting
gourds and developed our own styles and techniques. For
thousands of years, the gourd has been utilized by many cultures
as vessels for storing, carrying and cooking products.
With the help of contemporary art media, and our imagination,
we can transform the natural beauty of a gourd into a piece
of art. We exchange new ideas and support each other in
many ways. Our mutual goal is to share the enjoyment and
satisfaction we have in working with gourds and to educate and
teach anyone interested in this gratifying art form.
