Barona Cultural Center & Museum to host a Gourd Art Class with talented artist O?Jay Vanegas on Saturday February 3 in the Joan Phoenix Library.
Vanegas will teach the class using beginner art techniques.
Vanegas, who is of Din? descent, was raised in Desert Hot Springs, CA. His mission is to teach Native American culture and has a true passion for art and his Native American background. He has a degree in Fine Art and has been teaching gourd art for over 20 years.
A gourd is a plant of the Cucurbitaceae family. Artists use the gourd to create functional and decorative containers, masks, jewelry, figures, musical instruments and sculptural items. Gourds are versatile; just about any art medium can be applied to them. Also, since gourds are a type of wood, they can be carved, wood burned and sculpted.
Each participant of this class will take home a beautiful gourd bowl.
This class is open to the public for ages 16 and up and will take place in the Joan Phoenix Library at the Barona Cultural Center & Museum.
Age Limit: 16+
Admission/Cost:
Saturday, February 3 - 10:30 PM
