Beaded Gourd Vase ZOOM Project Class FULL waiting list only

 Description of Weaving Technique: Coiling involves taking a “core” material and wrapping it, then sewing the materials together to create a spiral.  

Description of Class: Learn to coil using hand-dyed Danish cord with waxed linen thread. Add rows of beads as you sculpture the shape of your weaving into a vase. Add a row of closed coiling to the edge for a pop of color.

Tools need: Drill, awl, scissors, pencil, apron, person light is helpful. 

This is a fun class where you will learn to design a Cannon Ball gourd to create a Luminary, wood burn the design, stain sections with ink dye or use metal leafing, then drill holes for light to show through. 

I will provide a 5" Cannon Ball gourd, a stick and burn design, ink dye, Tiger Tape, metal leafing, adhesive, and a mini gourd to make a finial, as well as my doorknob hole bits to drill a hole in the bottom of the gourd for a light or stand. Light, finial or stand are not included in the kit.
