2024: 03/29 Gourd Almighty: Carve, Color, Create!

March 29, 10am-4pm

Unleash the mighty power of your Dremel and join us for "Gourd Almighty: Carve, Color, Create!"—a class where the humble gourd gets a dazzling makeover. In this hands-on extravaganza, we'll harness the whirl of round cutting ball burrs to add breathtaking dimensions that'll make your gourd pop out in 3D splendor. Got your own burrs? Bring 'em along! The more, the merrier, as we delve into a world of sizes that bring your designs to life.

Your gourd will be primed and ready for the spotlight, eager for the buzz and hum of creative carving. New to the gourd game? Fear not! We'll cover the ABCs of gourd glam—from scrubbing up to slicing the perfect opening for a vase or bowl that will cradle your dreams.

When the creative fever hits high noon, we'll down tools for an hour-long lunch interlude from 1pm to 2pm—perfect for refueling and sharing tales of our artistic adventures.

And when the carving's done, it's time for a splash of color! Alcohol inks will be our potions, transforming your creation into a vibrant vessel of delight. Don't have a burr set yet? No worries, a quick trip to your local hardware store or an online click can equip you with the burr numbers #192, #191, #107, or #108, my trusty sidekicks for adding that irresistible texture.

So put on your artisan hat (and perhaps an apron), and let's carve out a day of gourd-geous fun that'll leave you feeling like the Michelangelo of the gourd world!
