About Gourds

Decorating gourds is a tradition that dates back centuries in Peru. The method of decoration starts with the artist engraving the surface of the gourd with a sharp tool.

He then uses a wood-burning device to highlight and color the carved areas of the gourd.

The final result is a magnificent piece of artwork!
