2010 Vendors
This is a partial list of the vendors you'll see this year in Cherokee!  Be sure to make time to visit all the booths, and their websites which are linked here!  Their support helps make the Gathering possible and there is much to be learned from each and every booth.  Techniques are demonstrated and the use of tools and supplies explained - many of which you can try out for yourself.  See color product demonstrations, get assistance in choosing the perfect raw gourd for your project, or tips for growing your own gourds.  Don't miss this opportunity to be inspired by the diverse gourd art presented by artists from around the world, and rub elbows with the vendors and artists whose names are 'dropped' frequently in the gourd world!
