You’re not out of your gourd if you’ve been wanting to create art from a hollowed-out member of the Cucurbitaceae family. In fact, you might just be in the perfect place and time, as Austin Public Library offers this hands-on crafting class with Texas Gourd Society’s own Rona Thornton. Here, among fellow enthusiasts of the flowering plant, you’ll create gourd-geous works of art while also learning about the plant’s global history and growth practices, and even enjoy a special show-and-tell of Thornton’s personal collection. – James Scott
