Gourd Get Away
Instructors: Tonia Owen, Karin Anderson, and Suzi Nonn
March 9-13, 2026
Come explore the world of gourds. This five-day retreat is geared to the intermediate/advanced gourding individual who wants to explore new techniques while creating finished art pieces. The goal is to complete four large gourds and five unique gourd ornaments.
We will start daily at 8 am. Over coffee or tea, there will be an opportunity to create a different ornament while learning a new technique that could be applied to a larger gourd.
To be more productive, students will work on four projects at the same time.
The larger gourds will already be cleaned inside and out. Looking at samples the student will cut and finish the insides (paint or decoupage). For the remainder of the week, the focus will be on enhancing the exterior of the gourd, adding rims and embellishments.
