A study group of the Columbia Basin Basketry Guild

Our project for October will be “Faux Raku” Gourd with Philodendron Sheath Rim. This project creates the look of fired raku pottery using a gourd and added pigments. It’s a simple and fun project that requires few tools, so it is especially great for beginners. It’s also a good way to use gourds that might have some flaws.
