3 Hours - All Levels
Sunday Morning 9:30 - 12:30
Students will learn how to twine a waxed linen rim on a mini gourd. Kits will include: a small cleaned, cut and polished gourd with the holes already punched around the rim and with the spokes already inserted, 2 colors of waxed linen and a tutorial. Inserting the waxed linen spokes into the tiny holes is very time consuming. With only the twining to do, you could finish the rim at the meeting and take home your finished project.
INSTRUCTOR PROVIDES
Prepared mini gourd, 2 colors of waxed linen and tutorial.
STUDENT SHOULD BRING
Students need to bring a pair of scissors and a seam ripper or a small awl to pack the rows of waxed linen tightly.
For a savings of $25.00, students may bring the following:
Bring your own gourd and 2 colors of waxed linen: bring a 1.5"- 2" gourd with holes punched a little less than 1/4" below the rim. Use a push pin to punch the holes tightly together, about 10-12 holes per inch. To do the design on the picture, you need an uneven number of holes. Count your holes, divide the number by 2 and cut that number of 5" spokes (for 40 holes cut 20 5" spokes plus one 3" spoke for the uneven number). Have the spokes inserted into the tiny holes. One spoke takes up two holes; in from the front into one hole and out from the back into the next hole. Tie a small knot at the end of the 3" spoke and insert it in the remaining hole with the knot on the inside.
