Welcome to Fernsink Gourds Basic Gourdcrafting Page

Gourdcrafting is described as the marriage of art and nature and we think that is the perfect description.
Nature presents us with intriguing shapes and rich colors in the form of gourds. They have a beauty all their
own and each is unique. With a few simple tools and supplies that beauty can be enhanced in a myriad of
ways to create functional as well as decorative objects.

You don't have to be an artist to create unique art from gourds. You don't need any expensive, specialized
equipment either. Most gourdcrafting can be done with household objects and materials you already have
on hand.

Choose from the list of topics below to explore the techniques of basic gourdcrafting. If you're already
familiar with the basics and wish to move on to some specific techniques check out my project's page.
Maybe you will find something new you'd like to try there.
