In this article, the author describes a gourd art project for her art club. Prior to students actually working on the gourds, the author and her art volunteer did a joint demonstration on the process students would go through to create their project. The volunteer brought in and explained her gourd art and shared information about the drying and cleaning process. The author demonstrated the materials and processes that were available and gave students a chance to practice some techniques. The following four weeks progressed with students working independently and diligently on their gourds and volunteers helping where necessary: glue guns, cordless drills, and wood-burning tools were carefully supervised, encouragement was given, work areas cleaned up, and refreshments were provided for that after-school pick-me-up. The gourd-eous gourds reflected the beauty of the season, the efforts of the students, and the wonderful support of parent volunteers. (Contains 1 online resource.)
