Here are a few candid shots of the 82nd North Carolina Gourd Arts & Crafts Festival, held September 7 – 8, 2024, in Raleigh.

Regina and Joanne are very happy with the gourd bowls they created in Anna Fountain’s class “Bird and Butterfly Bowl!”
Instructor Bonnie Gibson had fun at our photo booth!


Our beautiful new banners flank the entrance to the festival. Very nice!
We had basket-weaving classes for the first time in 2024. Students in Pam Milat’s class “Diamonds of Gold” are having fun inserting stakes into their wood bases.
