Gourd Hanging Planter Workshop with Dinner

Learn to craft the world's first global crop vegetable, nature's tupperware, the gourd



3 hours Class size 1 to 15 guests

$140 (Afterpay available)
Join us on Friday 23rd June, 6pm-9pm for a special crafting workshop treat, delivered by Awareaway Inc, and a plant based meal by Foraged at Eka Wholefoods!
In this workshop we explore regenerative design practices and sustainability through the process of curing gourds; a therapeutic process involving cleaning the gourd ready to be dried.
You will then transform your own gourd into a hanging planter, ready to be hung to dry for two weeks before planting in it.
After preparing the gourd planter, you will be given tools and pre-dried gourd segments and guided through a creative design process to make your own jewellery, or whatever other small creation you wish to make with the gourd.
The meal: For this workshop Chef Monique will be serving vegan and gluten free Thai Green Melon and Tofu Curry with Coconut Jasmine Rice.
Knowledge required
No experience or skills required. We will facilitate discussions and knowledge-sharing around sustainability, climate action and regenerative practices, no prior knowledge is needed and it will be a safe place to explore ideas and ask questions.
 
What you'll get
  • Make and take home your very own hanging planter and earrings made from gourd grown lovingly here in Naarm (Melbourne).
  • A delicious vegan meal prepared by Chef Monique from Foraged Seddon.
What to bring
Not your best clothing, you may get gourd dust or scum on them ;)
