When Gourds Become Art
Submitted by Jess on
It's hard to beat an evening of art, wine, dessert and great conversation!
The Musketaquid’s Fall Salon series opened last Thursday with gourds – one of the world’s oldest, most recognizable and universal plants. When dried, their shell can be cut to make bowls, ladles, and other tools. It is not certain where gourds originated or how they traveled the globe, but they can be seen in many a museum’s collection of cultural artifacts from almost every continent.
