We are delighted to showcase the nationally recognized gourd weaver, Jane A. Wilson as our featured teacher. Originally from Kansas, Jane began working with gourds in 2007. She found they offer the opportunity to coil, twine, carve, and wood burn. She also makes use of paints, stains, and inks (often on the same piece) in the creation of her original gourd art. Coiling has become her favorite technique and she has developed a way of dyeing cord to match the colors she uses on her gourds. An award-winning gourd artist, Jane recently won Best of Advanced Division at the Missouri Show Me Gourd Art Festival. She placed third in a national gourd weaving competition sponsored by the American Gourd Society and her gourd art has been featured in the society's GOURD magazine.
