Tera Connor: Create a Gourd Birdhouse
Sat September 26, 2026 @ 12:30 pm – 3:30 pm
In this engaging art class, you will create a birdhouse for your cherished feathered companions.
Cost: $35
Minimum of 10 / Maximum of 15 / All ability levels
Students are encouraged to bring an apron or paint shirt for this hands-on, creative class. Participants will design and build their very own gourd birdhouse, perfect for welcoming feathered friends to the yard.
Each student will select a gourd from a variety of sizes and shapes, then carefully clean and prepare it for its new life as a birdhouse. With guided instruction, students will use drills (with supervision) to create the entrance, wire hanger holes, and ventilation holes.
To finish, participants can personalize their birdhouse with a rich stain and decorative artistic touches. By the end of class, everyone will leave with a one-of-a-kind gourd birdhouse ready to hang and enjoy at home.
Tera Connor is a retired elementary school teacher who has grown into a passionate gourd gardener and artisan. Gardening in Sandy Valley, Nevada, she carefully harvests and dries her own gourds, transforming them into beautiful, functional pieces.
With a deep love for repurposing and crafting, Tera has spent the past 15 years creating handcrafted gourd birdhouses. She especially enjoys hanging them around her home, where they provide safe havens for local birds and bring a touch of natural charm to her surroundings.
