Join Susan Davis with Susie Q Gourds on June 1, 2024 to learn the art of using pine needles to embellish gourds! Participants will be given a gourd that is already cleaned, cut, and ready for your designs. There are two options for this workshop based on experience. Session A will be held from 9:00 AM-12:30 PM and will focus on Pine Needle Weaving. This session is for participants who do not have experience weaving pine needles and are beginners. Session B will be held from 1-4:30 PM and will focus on teaching Pine Needle Coiling with Beads. This session is for those with experience working with pine needles. This class is for participants ages 18+. This class has a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 14 for each session. If the minimum is not met, participants will be refunded. This workshop is non-refundable after supplies have been purchased and the registration deadline passes. Please email Mary Bell, Program Director, at mbell@kentuck.org with any questions. About Susan Davis: “My name is Susan Davis and I was born and raised in Palatka FL the 9th child out of 12. Coming from a country family, I've always had a love of art and as a kid I would sit underneath the oak tree and sketch. I later moved to North Carolina where I went to college for commercial art and advertising and then met a lady who showed me the wonderful world of gourds. Ever since falling in love with them I have put my personal touch and flare on each and everyone of my art pieces.” Made possible in part by grants from Alabama State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
