| Gourd art involves creating works of art from dried gourd shells. During the process, gourd surfaces may be carved, sanded, burned, dyed, polished, painted, etc. Gourd decoration and pyrography, is an ancient tradition in Africa, Asia, Central and South America as well as among the indigenous peoples of the Americas, notably among the Navajo, Hopi, and Pueblo nations of the American Southwest and the Nuxálk and Haida nations of British Columbia. Gourd crafting and painting has evolved from early hand carvings to the modern day use by some of electric wood burners and high-speed pen-shaped drills that can be used to inscribe most any design.
