May 7- Spring
Gourd Show
The West Central Ohio Gourd Patch is excited to announce their
2nd annual Spring Gourd Show. It will be held on Saturday, May
13th from 10am to 5pm at the Darke County Shawnee Prairie
Preserve in Greenville, in conjunction with their Spring Native Plant
sale. The events are free and open to the public.
During the show, handcrafted gourds will be available to purchase from
local artisans, along with dried gourds and plants. This will be a
wonderful opportunity to see the many different artistic
techniques that can be implemented to a gourd and meet the talented
artists who will gladly share their knowledge of their
craft. Some like to carve and wood burn them, while
others like to cut and paint or dye them different colors, or use
a combination of these techniques and more to create a unique piece of
art. With so many different sizes and shapes of gourds available, the
possibilities of craft ideas are endless. While gourd plants will
be available for purchase, any questions you might have about planting,
growing, harvesting, drying, and cleaning a gourd will happily be
answered by any of the artists also. If you are looking for a new
hobby, why not give gourds a try? But be warned...they can be very
addictive. Just ask anyone who starts!
