Gourd Hats
Several of us decided at last years Calabash event in Forrestville that we should make and wear 'gourd hats' to the festival in 2012. This years Calabash Festival is on Sunday, October 7th so while we still have plenty of time it is a good time to start thinking about possible designs and to actually start making these hats. Even if you are not going to be attending the festival you could still make a hat just for the fun of it or........ if hats are not your thing then just bring whatever project you are currently working on and whatever you need to work on that project. Main goal is to have fun.Did I mention that the Calabash Event is the main fund raiser for the Food For Thought food bank in Forrestville and if you make and donate a gourd for their auction you get two free passes to attend the event. It makes for a lovely day and a feel good feeling to be a part of this event. You can get more inforamation by going to their web site listed on our 'events' page.
What to bring if you will be making a gourd hat
a gourd or piece of a gourd
what ever tools / supplies you will need
alot of creativity and some to share
