  You will learn how to make a doll, as simple or as complicated as you like.  You will make a base using Apoxie Sculpt to add weight, and then add a doll face using a mould and Quikwood.   You can add design features to the doll, dye the doll or decoupage the dress with Washi paper, add wool, reed, burning, whatever you like to personalize your doll.  This is a very simple but effective design.

  The teacher will supply gourds and all supplies.

  No experience working with gourds required to take this class.

  Come and learn another fun way to use alcohol inks to colour an animal.  Bring an opened and cleaned gourd, or an unopened gourd cleaned on the outside.  I suggest starting small! You will be outlining your animal by burning the outline and any significant details.  From there, you will learn how to mask your picture, and then use the alcohol inks.  The magic starts after you finish adding the alcohol ink, moving and blending the colours in a different way.  

  The teacher will provide all needed materials, some animal outlines, and a tutorial.  KG burners will be available for you to use.

  Students will bring a small prepared gourd as mentioned above.  Non-members can request in advance a small gourd prepared for them, to be paid for at the class.
