Next class: This Sunday, Sept 13th! Create a stunning Gourd Lantern in this hands‑on workshop and discover the history of gourds—one of humanity’s earliest and most versatile natural containers. You’ll start with a cured gourd and learn how to cut, clean, and carve your own pattern so the lantern glows beautifully indoors or outdoors. Using rotary tools, scrapers, rechargeable drills, and handheld jigsaws, you’ll shape and finish your piece, then install a low‑watt LED light and lamp cord.
