OCGS is very excited to have Bonnie Gibson teaching not just one gourd class but two at Norrah’s in Costa Mesa.  

Both classes will be held on Monday June 16, 2008. You can take one or both classes. The morning class is Buffalo Robe Gourd and the afternoon class is Faux Basketry.

 Buffalo Robe Gourd

9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Cost $50.00 

Create a Plains Indian style "Buffalo Robe" gourd that is embellished with inlaid or surface applied (your choice)  beaded rosettes and faux beading.  You will use a variety of painting techniques to create a distressed leather-like surface.  Typical plains pictographs may be added if you wish. 

Faux Basketry

1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Cost $45.00 

 

Learn to design and layout a gourd to use this technique effectively.  Carving, woodburning and minimal use of paint will be used to create areas that will appear to be inlaid sections of coiled basketry.  Students will learn the basketry technique only.  Other decorative applications can be added as desired after class is over.
