I am happy to announce in-person classes! 

​I will be offering 4 classes at the PA Gourd Festival, which will be held August 12-14 at the Lebanon Expo Center and Fairgrounds.  
​
Registration opens on June 1.
Gourds for the Newbie

Back by popular demand!  This class is designed for the brand new gourder, or those who still have questions about gourd crafting.  Team taught with my friend Crystal Lemmon, we each have over 20 years experience with gourds.  We will cover many different tools and techniques that you will get to try hand-on!
Thursday
Full day class

Pyrography Flowers

This class used just a shading pen to burn garden flowers on your gourd.   We will draw the flowers on a small gourd first, then I will help you to burn the flowers from light to dark to make them look realistic. 
Friday Morning

​The Old Gnarled Tree

This class uses just a ball tip or writing pen to complete this tree.  We will draw the tree on- freehand- you will design it yourself so no tree will be alike!  The "sun" in the background is completed with metallic pigment.
Friday Afternoon
1/2 day class

​Sandpiper Parade

Using a pattern one or more sandpipers can race around this gourd bowl.  We will use a few burning techniques with multiple pens to complete the design.  The water can be colored using transparent acrylic and metallic paints.

I would like to attend the seminar on Friday afternoon with Graham. Do not know if I have to pre register.
Please let me know if I do.

Bonnie, the preregistration is closed now, but some teachers are taking walk ins. I do not know if Graham is, but you can either find out by emailing PA Gourd Society (go to their website to contact) or just by coming in and asking at the welcome table by the door.
