Do you and a friend, or two, want to start a Gourd Patch of your own?
No problem, just decide on a name and a place to meet, then contact [email protected] so we can add your location and meeting time to the website patch list. Then get together and enjoy creating some gourd art. Once a quarter, we will ask you to send an update of what your patch is doing, so we can let other patches in on your fun.
WSGS Mission Statement:
The purpose of the Washington State Gourd Society (WSGS) is to promote interest, share ideas, learn from others, and to teach all who are interested in the culture, use, history, and craftsmanship of gourds. The WSGS was formed in October of 2007 by a small group of local gourd artists who wanted to promote the craft of gourding in Washington State. The Washington State Gourd Society does not discriminate on the basis of age, color, disability, education, financial status, height, marital status, national origin, political beliefs, religion, race, sex, sexual orientation, weight, or whether you craft in big, small, round, or skinny gourds; this applies to all our activities or educational opportunities.
