e’re out of our gourds for these amazing works of art! Pablo Teodoro Hurtado Laveriano, from Huancayo, Peru, and other talented local artists create beautiful pieces from an unusual source, the Lagenaria vulgaris gourd. The artists carve scenes of animals, farm life, and Peruvian towns by using a scalpel called a buril to etch fine lines into the gourd. Some take advantage of the gourds’ natural colors or add flair with stains or paint. A finished gourd might become a bowl, box, birdhouse, or basket. The artful pieces can be purchased at the Zoo, and you can see Pablo in person as he conducts carving demonstrations there, June 25 through September 2, 2013 (he is off on Tuesdays), from midday at the Zoo Brew shop and after 4 p.m. at the ZooStore.
