All About

Jennifer Zingg didn't know what to do with some choice gourds from her grandfather's Kentucky gourd farm. For years, she and her husband, Jeff, shifted the gourds around every time they redecorated, moved or needed more storage. Jeff was ready to throw them away, but after her grandfather died, Zingg felt a stronger connection to these now very dry and very old gourds and decided to make use of what she had — the gourds and her artful eye — and fell into a different kind of art form.
