Gourd
Kits |
The Gourd is one of the only implements used by all cultures and societies over the ages. Its history can be traced to the beginning of mankind.
Gourd art is ability of the highly skilled artists to interpret and immolate this history. The internationally acclaimed award winning artistry of Russ Estes and Patricia Paik Estes bring such talent and passion for the art to this area.
The Estes believe that art should not only be appreciated but employed as an educational medium. With that in mind they have set out on a project to bring the world of gourd art and its history to the educational community and to those who would benefit by its knowledge.
