In this new gourd book, author Angela Mohr demonstrates how to select
and prepare gourds from the garden and demonstrates basic techniques for
cleaning, shaping, and fixing gourds, which then can be decorated for
everyday use, such as bowls and vases. This do-it-yourself how-to is
perfect for any beginning gourd artisan to learn the finer points of a
gourd, fix their common flaws and put the gourds to good use as
accessories around the house.
