About the event

At our September 2, 2026, PDX Patch meeting, we'll be exploring patina techniques. Please bring a gourd to transform into a Halloween pumpkin. For those who need one, we will have Apple Gourds available for purchase at the meeting. There will be time to cut, clean, and paint your gourd, and an additional $5 supply fee applies. If you prefer not to use patina, you can simply paint your gourd in Halloween colors.

This meeting will be at Jane’s Garage so we can be messy, you can use all my cleaning tools.

Learn to use several weaving techniques to create a piece of art. On a hard-shell gourd, you'll combine knotless netting, couching, beading, and open/closed coiling. With these techniques, you can create simple or elaborate weaving. You will be able to choose from several color combinations of painted, pre-finished gourds, hand-dyed cord, thread, and beads. You don't need to know how to weave to take this class. The first day of class you will learn to open and close coil and add beads to the design. The second day of class you will learn to knotless net to a couched row of cord. Materials supplied: drill bit, needle, tiger tape, 5" to 6” ready-to-weave gourd, waxed linen cord, hand-dyed cord, beads, mini awl and step by step color photo instructions.

Tools needed: Drill, awl, scissors, pencil, apron
