The Gourd Barn

The Gourd Barn Clarlyn Ledy’s shop features gourd art including gnome homes, vases, bowls and bird houses. The Gourd Barn is located just outside of Moran on Black Point Road.

Clarlyn’s Garden Art Shop holds cement bird baths, wine bottle wind chimes and crystal sun catchers along with furniture, statuary and wall art. Located in one end of a turn-of-the-century barn made of hand-hewn timbers, Clarlyn's studio is a constant work-in-progress. Gourds can be seen in various stages of life, from seeds right through to finished gourd art pieces. The trick of growing gourds i

n Northern Michigan is still a mystery and the Ledys travel the South during the winter months, stocking up on gourds as they go. Stop by from Labor Day weekend through September for a barn tour and an art lesson!

I’m looking for a couple of old bowling balls. I’ve checked the Hope Chest. If you have an extra laying around, please let me know and I’ll come to pick it up. Thanks!

Is anyone missing a cat? It’s gray with white feet and took off when I called it. At first I thought it was our Grit but he was sleeping on the couch… Please repost this to help this kitty get home. He was seen this morning (Friday, September 8)at the Gourd Barn in Moran. I have set out food and water but we do have a dog and cat ourselves, so not sure how long it will hang around. Thanks

This is 2 shots of one covered bowl gourd. The second is a large leather laced vase gourd decorated with a philodendron sheath and peacock feather. The beach shot is where I prefer to spend my “cleaning time.” When gourds dry, the water from inside leaches through the vegetable skin and forms mold when it hits the air. This mold is what creates the “mottling” on the gourd’s exterior. Sometimes it easily removed, other times it takes lots of scrubbing to get to the natural beauty of the gourd’s skin. The beach makes this scrubbing process much more fun!
