Today we had the pleasure of learning about Gourd Weaving from MVMC Guest artist Toni Best. Toni is such an amazing artist and a wonderful instructor. She has been a guest artist at the My Voice Media Center and an arts consortium member for over 10 years.


A Break from the Norm

Everyone really enjoys Learning this beautiful technique and appreciates Toni for her visits to Arts Consortium's My Voice Media Center this month! Separate from other sessions a workshop by Toni Best highlighted the joys of making and weaving gourds.


Participants learned the crafting techniques that Toni Best, an accomplished artist in Tulare County, brought to My Voice Media Center. The workshops were held on two different days where a small group attended and learned how to soak, prepare and weave materials into the top of a prepared gourd. The handcrafted works were beautiful, as each participant put their own touches on the finished gourds. Some used feathers, others beads, and using a special twine and needle weaved along the top of the gourd.

Thank you, Toni, and all the participants who attended this month's workshop!

keonhacai 55 hôm trước mình thấy bạn bè nhắc hoài nên tiện tay mở thử cho biết. Mình cũng không đọc kỹ nội dung đâu, chủ yếu xem giao diện có dễ dùng không. Vừa vào là thấy trang làm khá gọn, khoảng trắng vừa đủ nên nhìn không bị bí, kéo xuống cũng đỡ mỏi mắt. Mấy phần thông tin được tách thành từng khối rõ ràng, kiểu lướt một vòng là biết mình đang ở đoạn nào. Mình thích nhất là cách họ trình bày số liệu theo dạng bảng, cột hàng thẳng thớm nên liếc nhanh vẫn hiểu, không bị rối. Thanh menu đặt ngay chỗ dễ thấy, chuyển qua lại mấy mục cũng nhanh, không phải…
