Gourd Art
The Gourd is a natural resource that has been a staple in many societies, they have been universally cultivated worldwide for thousands of years and are the only fruit bearing plant found to have spanned the globe. Serving as nature’s organic containers, gourds are strong, durable, lightweight and water resistant. They require no complex manufacturing process, are nontoxic, and are environmentally friendly and easily biodegradable. Gourd art is the result of a combination of the artist’s perspective with the natural shape and texture of the gourd. The Gourd is embellished with painting, burning and carving designs into the hard surface.
