Patches + Events

Within the American Gourd Society universe, local groups who meet to share their interest in gourds are called patches.  Patches offer a social network and robust programming, including classes to create gourd art projects or learn a gourd crafting technique, tool, or product.

PDX Patch

Meets the first Wednesday each month in the Portland/Tigard area.

McGourdville Patch

Meets the third Wednesday each month in McMinnville.

We invite you to attend a patch meeting as our guest to give us a try.  If you would like to attend an upcoming patch meeting, please use the contact button below.

We are eager to expand our patch footprint throughout the state of Oregon. If you are interested in gourds and would like to form a new patch in your area, please contact us.
