In 2007, while still residing in her home state of Kansas, Jane Wilson became acquainted with gourds. An avid crafter who already had woodcarving skills, she became intrigued by another artist’s use of color and woodburning techniques on gourds and began to develop these skills through classes and videos.

In addition to woodburning, carving, and painting, Jane began to add coiling or twining, both basket weaving techniques, to her gourds. Coiling became her favorite technique, and over time she developed a way to dye the cords to match the colors she uses on the gourds. She now employs an open coiling method, allowing the cord’s flow to become part of the design. 

Jane recently returned from the Idaho State Gourd Festival, where she won seven awards for three pieces of gourd art she entered. She won first place in the Masters woven division, the Expert woven division, and the Expert mixed media division. She received three judges’ awards, including the Best of Expert Division. While there, she taught three classes on coiling gourds.

The American Gourd Society sponsored a national gourd weaving competition where she placed third, and the society’s GOURD magazine has featured her gourd art.

She exhibits her work in local art shows and galleries, such as Village Gallery of Arts in Portland and Lincoln City Cultrual Art Center. Jane teaches coiling on gourd classes through Village Gallery of Arts, Columbia Basin Basket Guild and Zoom classes.

She currently lives in Portland, Oregon, where she is involved with the Northwest Gourders, Columbia Basin Basketry Guild, Village Gallery of Arts, and Portland Handweavers Guild.
