You’ve Got to See These Gourds!
O.K. we’ve seen some pretty phenomenal gourd pieces in our time, but nothing like this. The four gourds shown here in this photo are made entirely of glass!
The Worcester Glassworks Gallery will be at the June Gourd Art Festival, participating as a Festival Sponsor, and is bringing their hand-blown glass creations all the way from Maui, HI.
Be sure to stop by their booth and see these stunning glass gourds in person!
