Historic Gourd Craft: How to Make Traditional Vessels

What did America's first inhabitants use for cooking and eating? What did the stranded characters of television’s Gilligan’s Island use to prepare and eat food? Taking her cue from these questions, author Angela Mohr demonstrates how to create authentic vessels by using gourds. A watering can, cooking utensils, and bowls are created in this step-by-step instruction book, as Mohr brings fun and authenticity to her gourds. Historical re-enactors will find inspiration for their authentic life-style performances and drama students, the rights tools to pursue their craft. 64 pp | 178 images
