About Me
Mostly self taught through the use of books and videos, Sylvia has also learned techniques from the "masters" of gourd art from classes and hands on instruction. She also grows gourds in her yard in Costa Mesa. She is a member of American Gourd Society, California Gourd Society and Orange County Gourd Society. Hope you enjoy this gourd art gallery.
(This giant gourd was grown in my backyard garden)
2023 gourds almost ready for picking. One season to grow, then one season to dry- a two year process
Thanks to my dear Wayne for propping them up
