	Marianne Barnes Share: Marianne has been a basketmaker for 36 years and a gourd artist for 34 years. After retiring from a 32-year career as an art teacher in public schools, she wrote her first book, "Weaving on Gourds." Her second book, "New and Different Materials for Weaving and Coiling," was released in 2012, followed by "Creative Embellishments for Gourd Art" and "Creative Rims for Gourds," both published in 2014. The combination of baskets and gourds is the art form Marianne most loves to create, texture being the core of her art and natural materials being the source. She teaches at workshops, conventions, gourd shows, and in her home studio in South Carolina. Visit Marianne's website Send Marianne an email An artful gourd by Marianne Barnes.
