IMA Artist Workshop: 3-D Design With Gourds with Dona Reed
Posted March 27, 2015 at 5:45 am by Tim Dustrude
In this workshop, we will begin by discussing the elements of art that make a good 3-D design. Each student will learn how to make a template to create repetition around the gourd.
Techniques of wood burning, engraving, staining, painting and embellishment will be discussed to will help each student complete their finished piece.
Dona lives on San Juan Island and has been working with gourds for more than 20 years. Her gourd vessels and lamps can be found in many galleries and art festivals in the Northwest. She is also an accomplished printmaker.
