Tangles & Doodles on Gourds by Renee Bidstrup
Date + Time: Saturday, June 27th from 10am-4pm
Location: Welburn Gourd Farm
Level: Beginner
Looking for something different to do with your gourds? This class just may be what you’re looking for! You can let your imagination run free as you burn, carve, paint, decoupage and create a masterpiece. Before the class, get on the internet and search Tangles, Doodles and/or Zentangle. There are plenty of tangles that have instructions on how to complete them. There are also a number of books available, and I’ll bring them to class.
Tools to bring:
- A gourd of any type/size. It should be at least 5" so that you can have enough sections. But remember, the bigger the gourd the more sections and work!
- If you cut open your gourd, be sure to finish the inside prior to class with paint or decoupage.
- Wood burner
- Pencil
- Baby Wipes
- Brushes, Q-tips, or any other tools you would like to paint with
- Heat setter
- Acrylic paints if you prefer to work with those over inks
What will be provided:
- Inks
- Books about Tangles & Doodles as well as samples
- Renee will have all of her tools, and you are free to borrow anything you might need.
