Visiting Artisan

Now through September 6
From Peru, Pablo Teodoro Hurtado Laveriano intricately carves the lagenaria vulgaris gourd. The technique involves etching fine lines into the gourd with a scalpel, creating a series of drawings that generally represent active scenes of farming life. A finished gourd might become a birdhouse, bowl, box or even a basket. Watch Pablo’s demonstrations daily.
