Meet Amanda Rutland, the award-winning artist behind Gorgeous Gourds, where sustainability meets stunning design. From small decorations to large statement lamps—and even the occasional quirky chicken egg holder—Amanda creates eco-friendly, handcrafted home décor pieces that captivate and inspire.
Her gourds, grown in a cosy polytunnel nestled in the picturesque Constable Country, belong to the pumpkin and squash family. These unique plants form a hard shell when mature, making them the perfect canvas for Amanda’s artistic vision. Every piece she crafts is not just beautiful but also green and sustainable, celebrating nature’s resilience and creativity.
Patience is key in Amanda’s work—it takes nearly two years from seed to finished piece. This journey combines nature’s rhythm with Amanda’s craftsmanship, resulting in heirloom-quality art. Whether it’s a delicate ornament or a bold lamp, each creation tells a story of artistry and sustainability.
For more information about Amanda’s work, her process, and her passion for gourds, visit her website. After all, in her words, “A gourd isn’t just a plant; it’s a masterpiece waiting to happen!”
