About this event

  • Event lasts 3 hours

Students are invited to bring an apron or a paint shirt. In this engaging art class, you will create a birdhouse for your cherished feathered companions. You'll have the chance to choose a gourd from various sizes and shapes. Students will meticulously clean and scrape the gourds to get them ready for their new role as birdhouses. We will be using drills for this project. A beautiful stain will be applied to the exterior of each gourd. By the end of the class, students will take home their very own gourd birdhouse.

Tera Connor, a former elementary school teacher, has transitioned into a passionate gourd gardener!
