PDX Gourdpatch Meeting August, 5, 2026

At our August PDX Patch meeting, we'll be making name tags to wear at each patch and state meeting. I've been cutting shards for everyone to use, but feel free to bring your own—just remember you’ll need to do the final sanding and shaping. We'll have a wood burning station ready with several burners and a variety of tips, including skew, ball, and writing, so you can get creative. Bring along any paints, inks, dyes, acrylic pens, gold leaf, or anything else you’d like to use to finish your name tag.

If you need a hand with finishing the coiling on your gourd, I’ll be around to help with those last touches.
