In
visualizing how each gourd might end up, we always try to
maintain its natural qualities. For the most part, each
piece is decorated and embellished with nature's own materials -
sea grass, pine needles, reeds, and beads. Classic simplicity is
our guiding principle in designing each piece. The Studio's work
is displayed from Philadelphia to Atlanta, from the Bluegrass of
Kentucky to the Hill Country of Texas.
Travelers
from New York, Florida, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Texas, and the
Ohio valley have found the small and busy workshop where we are always ready to welcome
guests and share our passion for mountain skills. Each unique piece is
named and serially numbered.
