About the event
This class combines collage and painting to create
a layered design on a gourd. A woven rim that complements the final design finishes the gourd. This class is based on a class
taught by Glenda Goodrich with the substrate being a flat surface. I modified this process for a gourd as the substrate.
Special techniques include the collage itself which
combines things like colorful papers, old sheet music, stamps (or color copies of anything), maps, etc. I have used sheet music, stamps, photos of special things/people, poetry, etc.
Stenciling a design on the collage and then painting
around the drawn stencil highlights the stencil design but still allows the underlying collage to show through.
