Gourd Demo for the L. C. A. A.

Tonie Kedzierski talks about Gourd Art

Our gourd instructor, Tonie Kedzierski, brought many of her gourds to the May 2008 business meeting of the Lawrence County Art Association.  Tonie talked about the art of gourds;  beginning with the seeds, taking care of the vines, harvesting the crop in the autumn and seasoning them through the winter.  This was all before she could begin to make art of the produce she spent a year nurturing.

Crochet Campers!

The following photos are from our summer camp teaching kids how to crochet.  We all had a great time doing it.
