How does a simple fruit in the cucumber family become a stunning piece of art? It takes some effort, but its fun effort. Kim Black will teach the process of taking a dried gourd through the cutting, cleaning, sanding, drilling, painting…resulting in your own gourd art treasure with pine needle accents. You will take home a second half of gourd to practice on at home.
Take an in-depth backstage tour of the Gerding Theater at the Armory, the only theater in the US to be given a platinum rating by LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).
