Description
Long ago, Indigenous Peoples of North American crafted birdhouses from gourds to attract wild birds. Wild birds like gourds for their durability, their fit into the natural landscape, and for the soft inner pith they can dig their claws into for maneuverability. People today continue using gourds for birdhouses because of the diverse species they attract. Create a birdhouse for your bird sanctuary during this class, led by Shirley Snyder. She will have a dozen gourds ready for painting, burning, or drawing. Designs vary. Class fee: $25 Register by Saturday, September 6. For more information, please call 828-479-3364.
