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.
