Crafting with Gourds

Crafting with gourds involves transforming dried, hollowed-out gourds into artistic or functional objects. After harvesting and drying, artisans clean, carve, paint, or carve designs into the gourds to create items like bowls, utensils, ornaments, or decorative art. This natural craft blends creativity with traditional skills, often utilizing gourds for their durability and unique textures. It's a sustainable craft that celebrates natural beauty, requiring patience and attention to detail, making it accessible for beginners and rewarding for experienced artisans alike.
