PenlandSchoo lof CraftsAnnual ReportFiscal Year 2012May – April

A year at Penland is always filled with moments of individual growth andcollective accomplishment. Enrollment was strong in our fiscal year with, students and instructors experiencing the excitement and challenges ofcreative experimentation.With your support our workshops brought the learningprocess to life for artists from all skill levels and many different walks of life. Halfof our students continue to be ages -, and students attended with somekind of financial assistance. We held a weeklong Artist Educators’ Retreat to celebrateprocesses of learning and teaching with Penland instructors; artists ChristinaShmigel and Jeff Goodman led group exercises to complement the individual work.Barry Lopez was our Andrew Glasgow Writer-in-Residence and we honored met-alsmith Fred Fenster as our Penland Outstanding Artist Educator.Collaborating with our community continues to connect Penland with partners

like the Mitchell County public schools where we provide teacher training throughour Subs with SuitCASEs program; workshops for all students in grades three, four,and ten; and special mentoring experiences. Our summer Kids Camp enchantedyoung people with classes in maskmaking, photography, storytelling, Appalachianfolk arts, journal making, and other subjects.The Campaign for Penland’s Future advanced quietly—and significantly—with

the receipt of two major gifts: one from the Samuel L. Phillips Family Foundationfor a new drawing/painting and bookarts studio and another from the NicholsonFoundation for new photography and paper studios, and a new social hall. We com-pleted a new dormitory and sleeping cabins to improve student housing. Designingfor the future takes time and the collaborative input of many people. The designprocess advanced this year for two key historic properties—Dora’s Place andMorgan Hall—and for a new home for Penland’s core fellows.

Introduction


Our supporters make the daily work of teaching possible and enable our staff towork behind the scenes in ways that promote the creative process. Studio coordina-tors and other staff members participated in nine national media conferences and aninternational iron conference in Ireland. Our engagement with these organizationshelps us increase awareness of Penland, market our classes, recruit new instructors,and provide continuing education for our staff. We began a long process of advancingtechnology on campus, and we now have computers in each studio and wirelessInternet access across most of campus. Although fall classes ended in November, Penland was far from quiet over the

winter. During these months, thirteen of our fifteen studios were open, offeringindependent study for winter renters, print and letterpress residencies with masterprinters, and studio opportunities for several special groups. Trustee and artist JulieLeonard used the books and paper studio to make sheets of paper for a broadside ofa poem by the late Betty Oliver, which was part of a project funded through theUSA Projects platform. Edwina Bringle and Elizabeth Mears each hosted groups offlameworkers for a week in the glass studio. Sculptors Robyn Horn and StoneyLamar convened a group of twenty-three iron and wood artists to experiment andlearn from each other during a week of high-pitched camaraderie and expert crafts-manship. Along with their independent projects, the group created an extraordinarycollaborative bench for the Craft House porch.As you read through our annual report, we encourage you to delve deeply into

the programs we offer with your support—programs that impact creative life through-out our country.

More than 100 Penland instructors along with studio coordinators and studio assistants shared a fantastic week of open studios,collaboration, conversation, and inspiration in September 2011 at Penland’s Community of Education retreat.


Penland’s workshops are intensive, total-immersion experiences thatallow students and instructors to focus almost exclusively on the studio workthey are engaged in. These classes are based on the principle of learning bydoing—it’s normal for students to produce work on the first day. Classes aresmall, ranging in size from six to twenty students, and individual instruction isplentiful. Penland has no standing faculty, instead hiring more than guestinstructors each year, giving students the opportunity to work with full-timestudio artists and faculty from dozens of colleges and universities. Theseinstructors are incredibly generous individuals who share their knowledgefreely and give countless hours to their students. In fiscal year , Penland offered classes in books and paper, clay, drawing

and painting, glass, iron, metals, photography, printmaking and letterpress,textiles, and wood. There were also workshops in shoemaking and teachertraining, and a special workshop for ceramics collectors that included historylectures, studio visits, demonstrations, and hands-on work.Penland workshops often work across media. In summer , enamelist

Elizabeth Turrell and bookbinder Eileen Wallace taught a class in which bookcovers and entire books were made from enameled sheets of copper or steel.Instructor Eric Ryser taught a workshop in the iron studio that involved mak-ing prints from etched steel plates and then forging those plates into function-al or sculptural objects.

passionately involved with color. In her one-week spring workshop she presented aseries of color exercises to students who work in a variety of media. One of Penland’s signature programs is the Concentration: eight-week workshops

that are presented in the spring and fall. Almost as long as a college semester, butwith the intense focus of the workshop format, these classes allow students to makegreat strides in their work. The format of these classes is unique in craft educa-tion, and it supports educational possibilities that would be difficult to accomplishin shorter workshops. For example, the work students made in Kathy King’s eight-week clay workshop was inspired by a series of lectures on historical ceramics thattook students through myriad techniques and materials.

The Penland Resident Artist Programmakes it possible for a group of full-timeartists to spend three years living and working in the creative community atmosphereof Penland School of Crafts. The benefits of the program include low-cost studiosand housing; meals when classes are in session; feedback and encouragement fromstaff, community, and fellow resident artists; and contact with hundreds of visitors,collectors, students, instructors, and auction patrons. Resident artists host an openhouse at their studios during each Penland session and exemplify for students manypossible approaches to life as a working craftsperson. The resident artists in fiscal year were potter David Eichelberger, weaver

Robin Johnston, jeweler Jeong Ju Lee, wood sculptor and painter Daniel Marinelli,wood sculptor Tom Shields, jeweler Amy Tavern, and potter gwendolyn yoppolo.Jeong Ju Lee, Daniel Marinelli, and Amy Tavern completed their three-year residen-cies in spring . In addition to selling work from their studios and the Penland Gallery, resident

artists participated in exhibitions at many venues, including The Clay Studio andGravers Lane Gallery in Philadelphia, Green Hill Center, Crimson Laurel Gallery,and Christa Faut Gallery in North Carolina, Red Lodge Clay Center in Montana,Blue Heron Gallery in Maine, SOFA Chicago, Society for Contemporary Craft inPittsburgh, and Velvet da Vinci and Root Gallery in San Francisco. Amy Tavern’swork was featured on the cover of Metalsmith magazine’s prestigious “Exhibition inPrint” issue.

“I am so grateful for the time I’vebeen given to immerse myself inthe physical environment as wellas the community environment at Penland,” says resident artistRobin Johnston. “I always incorpo-rate aspects of my immediate surroundings into my work. At Penland I have reinterpretedhistorical weave drafts that wereused by weavers in the early daysof the school and also layeredpersonal and environmental data,including sleep patterns and thelunar calendar, into wovenpieces. Most recently I have beenwrapping yarn around black walnuts (from a tree on my road)to encourage the dye to seep out,creating a random stain. Then Iweave the yarn from many wal-nuts together, and a unique pat-tern emerges from each bundle. “The open, supportive atmos-

phere at Penland has encouragedme to move in innovative direc-tions and enabled my daily lifewith my family to intertwine naturally with my studio life.”

Core Fellowship

Penland’s nine core fellows are a force that touches every part of Penland School.They are a constant creative presence—taking classes or working independently inthe studios—and the annual exhibition of their work is an inspiring highlight of eachyear. They live on campus and work in the kitchen, dining hall, and gardens. They planentertainment, facilitate instructor slideshows, and run errands for the school. Theysupervise work-study students and lead the crews that get the school ready, session aftersession, for incoming students. They interact with hundreds of students and instruc-tors who know that if they have a question, they can always ask a core fellow.

Core fellow Jack Mauch workedprimarily in clay while pursuinga BFA degree at Maine College ofArt. During his time at Penland,however, he has worked mostly inmetal and wood, with forays intobookbinding, leatherwork, andprintmaking. He brings an elegantsense of design to everything hemakes. “My time as a core studenthas been seminal in every regard,”he says. “I have grown immenselyin my understanding of materialand process, and in the sophisti-cation of my artistic vision. I havelived, worked, and learned withpeople who have had a profoundimpact on me, and whose influ-ence I will carry forever. I havehad the highest of highs, the low-est of lows, and the most cups ofcoffee.”

Core fellows do all this while working diligently to explore materials, acquirenew skills and refine old ones, build portfolios, and find their identities as artists.The core fellowship is intense and demanding—it is an educational opportunitylike no other. Completing the core fellowship in February were printmaker Ele Annand,

blacksmith and sculptor Daniel Beck, ceramist and metalsmith Ian Henderson,textile artist Rosina Saqib, and sculptor, bookmaker, and textile artist AmandaThatch. Continuing for their second year were ceramist Bob Biddlestone, clay andmetal artist Rachel Garceau, all-around metalsmith Seth Gould, and metalsmithand furniture maker Jack Mauch. They were joined in the spring by textile artistZee Boudreaux, woodworker Liz Koerner, glassblower and woodworker MikeKrupiarz, book artist Rachel Mauser, and potter Molly Spadone.


Scholarships

It is important that Penland be accessible to people from different backgroundsand circumstances. Running a small school that provides individualized instructionis expensive, and the fees paid by students are more than matched by the donationsof Penland’s many contributors so that tuition, room, and board can be kept as lowas possible. Penland also works hard to provide hundreds of scholarships and tuitiondiscounts. In fiscal year , spaces in Penland classes were filled by students receiving

some form of financial assistance, representing percent of total enrollment. Thisincluded work-study scholarships, full scholarships, studio assistantships,and instructor family members and staff members who paid no fees. Penland’sstandby program gives discounted tuition to teachers and area residents who takeunfilled spots at the last minute; people took advantage of this offer. Penlandcore fellows accounted for spaces in classes. The higher education partnershipprogram allowed students to attend free of charge. These are current students atcolleges and universities; they are selected by their home institution, which alsoshares the cost of the scholarship. The William R. Kenan fellowships, funded by theThomas S. Kenan Institute for the Arts, provided full scholarships for ten recentgraduates of the high school visual arts program at the University of North CarolinaSchool of the Arts. Penland’s scholarship programs are made possible by donations to the annual

fund, gifts from the Alvin Lehman Foundation Fund, the Claire Lucas Fund, theWindgate Charitable Foundation, and other foundations, the sale of work at end-of-session auctions, Penland’s general operating budget, and individual scholarshipendowments. For a list of specially funded or endowed scholarships, see page .

Amy Raab received a WindgateScholarship for Jason Pollen’ssummer textiles class. “My twenty-five-year career working in thenonprofit sector on children’sissues has left me with little timeand income to pursue my art-work,” she said. “I plan to retirewithin the next two years andwould like to be a producingartist again. . . .The most excitingthing about this experience hasbeen my revival as an artist. Bythe second day I was completelyimmersed in my work and Iremembered how it feels to havethe time, the space, and the guid-ance to create. I am very pleasedwith the work I produced afterbeing dormant for more thantwenty years. . . . When I returnhome, I plan to set up studiospace in my house, and I hope toreturn to Penland again to con-tinue developing my skills. I can-not thank you enough for helping me rekindle my creative spirit.”

Community Collaboration

Penland’s commitment to creative education includes a variety of programsthat connect the school with the local community. Since the mid-s, Penlandhas supported a teaching artist who provides curriculum-based art classes in thelocal schools and in a Penland studio dedicated to this program. In fiscal year ,teaching artist Meg Peterson worked with every third, fourth, and tenth grader inthe Mitchell County public school system, a total of students. These studentsexplored family history, astronomy, nature study, and North Carolina culturethrough drawing, painting, collage, writing, and making handbound journals.

Mayland Community College collaborates with Penland on an associate of artsdegree that combines studio classes at Penland with general education classes atMayland. In fiscal year , two students took advantage of this program. Subswith SuitCASEs (Creative Approaches to Substitute Education) gives training andmaterials to local studio artists who are also substitute teachers and use theseresources to bring art activities into the classroom. More information can be found atsubswithsuitcases.org. The school also sponsored special one-day workshops in stop-motion animation and puppetry for teachers and other community members.Kids Camp is a popular summer program that provides art-based day camps for

children. In summer , children participated; of them received a schol-arship. Penland partnered with the Centro Latino, the SafePlace women’s shelter,and the Communities in Schools program to provide Kids Camp participants withtransportation, meals, and language assistance as needed. The annual community open house, held on March , , was staffed by

volunteers and welcomed more than visitors for hands-on activities anddemonstrations in Penland’s teaching studios. Penland also participated in a num-ber of other community activities including the Troutacular festival and the Fire onthe Mountain blacksmithing festival. As part of the Carolina Literary Festival, theschool was proud to sponsor a presentation by Audrey Niffenegger, a Penlandinstructor who is the author of two best-selling novels.

Special Programs

The seasonal nature of Penland’s workshop program creates a flexibility thatmakes it possible for the school to present activities and programs that fall outsideof the regular schedule. Some of these have become a recurring part of each year, whileothers happen in response to the needs and interests of particular groups of people. The Andrew Glasgow Writer’s Residency was established in to provide

writers, scholars, and curators with time to conduct research and write on topicsdesigned to advance the field of crafts. The resident writer for was essayist andfiction writer Barry Lopez. While at Penland he worked in several studios, spenttime with instructors and students, and electrified the community with a readingand talk. During Lopez’s residency, letterpress instructor Paul Moxon created abroadside from one of Lopez’s stories. More on Barry Lopez on page .In September , with support from the National Endowment for the Arts,

Penland hosted a retreat for former instructors. They were given access to allof the studios, with excellent support from a group of studio assistants andPenland’s studio coordinators. Most of them chose to work in studios that wereunfamiliar to them. Evening programs were hosted by artist/educators ChristinaShmigel and Jeff Goodman. The retreat produced a rare level—even by Penlandstandards—of energy and camaraderie.

Erika Adams was the leadprinter in the printmaking studiofor the January residencies inprintmaking and letterpress. Theseresidencies offer artists and writerswith little or no printing experiencea chance to work in Penland’s studios with experienced printers,creating editions of broadsides,prints, or small publications. Erika facilitated the projects of two groups of print residents, eachfor a two-week session, and thenhad the run of the studio for themonth of February to make herown work. Erika teaches atConcordia University in Montrealand was able to participate in thewinter residency as part of a sabbatical year that also includedworking at the Robert BlackburnPrintmaking Workshop in New YorkCity and taking a trapeze class.

Winter included the annual letterpress and print residencies, in which artistsfrom a variety of media backgrounds work with master letterpress printers andprintmakers in the Paul Hayden Duensing studio. Winter studio rentals includedtwo groups of flameworkers who each rented the flameworking studio for aweek. A group of twenty-three artists were resident in the iron and wood studiosfor a week. The group was convened by sculptors Stoney Lamar (see page ) andRobyn Horn. They worked together and separately and moved freely between thetwo studios. The whole group collaborated on a beautiful wood and steel bench thatnow sits proudly on the Craft House porch.

Penland’s archive is a repository for documents and articles related to theschool’s history, both recent and distant. Although most of its holdings are paperrecords, photographs, correspondence, and other documents, the archive alsoincludes a small collection of objects and artwork. Current publications and docu-ments are continuously collected as they are generated. Classes sometimes donatecollaborative or commemorative projects, and the school regularly receives gifts ofartifacts from the past. The Penland archivist is responsible for cataloging and organ-izing all of this material and also responds to frequent requests from staff membersand the general public for historical information and access to the archive’s holdings. Items acquired by the archive in fiscal year include a hand-stitched panel

made at Penland in by instructor and Penland neighbor Paulus Berensohn aspart of The Ribbon Project, an international peace project commemorating thebombing of Hiroshima. Other donations were a paper and metal sculpture by the lateBetty Oliver, a portfolio of photographs by long-time Penland instructor EvonStreetman, a number of copper and pewter items produced in the s by thePenland Weavers and Potters, a group of color slides taken at Penland in the summerof , small works made in the s and the s by instructors GerryWilliams, Gay Smith, and Mark Peiser, and, from more recent history, four glasshorns that were made in one of Sally Prasch’s flameworking classes and used in the July parade.Also donated were two ceramic pieces made during a visit to Penland by members

of the Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute. During that visit, three Chinese potters threwand decorated a number of pots which were subsequently fired by studio coordinatorSusan Feagin. Several other vessels they made were later decorated and fired bycommunity members and were sold at Penland scholarship auctions.

This textile piece was made by instructor and Penland neighbor Paulus Berensohn in 1985 as part of TheRibbon Project, which joined together 24,000 sewn panels into a fifteen-mile-long ribbon that wasstretched from the Pentagon to the Capitol on the 40th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima. Many of the individual pieces are now in collections including the Smithsonian Institution (DC) and the TextileMuseum (DC). Sherry Lowe, who was one of the coordinators of the project, ended up with several hundred of them, including this one. The label on the back identified it as having been made at PenlandSchool, so she contacted Penland’s archivist, Michelle Francis, and in 2011 the piece came home.

The Penland Gallery and Visitors Center exhibits work in all media by artists whohave connections to the school. It also shows work by each session’s instructors andmounts invitational exhibitions. In addition to curating, displaying, and selling artwork,the gallery provides assistance and information to individuals, organizations, curators,and galleries interested in Penland School and Penland-affiliated artists. Gallery staff organizes twice-weekly tours of the Penland campus, distributes maps of

nearby studios, works with patrons to commission or acquire work not currently in thegallery, and advises artists on pricing and marketing. The gallery works with corporateclients, design firms, and art museums on special purchase projects for corporate gifts,awards, and acquisitions for office and public lobby spaces. In fiscal year the gallery and visitors center welcomed , visitors and

showed work by artists. Gallery sales of $, returned $, in commis-sions to artists. Gallery tours gave people a look at the school enhanced by histori-cal and program information. In addition to its regularly-scheduled tours, the galleryarranged special tours for a number of groups including the Jingdezhen PotteryInstitute, painting and ceramics students from Caldwell Community College, studio artstudents from Appalachian State University, and patrons of the Art Institute of Chicago.The opening exhibition of the season featured work by renowned potter Karen

Karnes and fourteen other ceramic artists whose lives have been touched by Karnes’s.The show was guest curated by Karen Karnes and Mark Shapiro, and it coincided witha retrospective exhibition of Karnes’s work at the Asheville Art Museum. Penland alsohosted a screening of the film Don’t KnowWe’ll See: The Work of Karen Karnes.

The work of the Penland facilities and grounds crew never ends. With

acres and buildings to look after, the crew—two maintenance technicians, a studiotechnician, a groundskeeper, and the facilities and grounds director—seem to beeverywhere all the time. Their ongoing work includes tasks such as painting, grading,plant propagation, carpentry, troubleshooting and repair of studio equipment,water-system maintenance, and vehicle maintenance. An important project under-taken during the year was the complete renovation of the resident artist glass studio,which dates back to the s. The director of facilities and grounds also works closely with architects and con-

tractors on new construction. In fiscal year , Penland completed two buildingprojects that have greatly improved student housing. A cluster of small buildings,called the Sleeping Cabins, created ten double rooms tucked into the woods at thenorth end of campus, replacing the aging Homosote building. A new housing buildinglocated west of the Pines has a flexible room plan that will accommodate between and students depending on what type of rooms are requested. Both of these projects were designed by architect Dail Dixon. Construction

documents and construction oversight for the new housing building were handledby Bowers, Ellis, and Watson, PA. That project was financed through a low-cost loanfrom USDA Rural Development supported by the American Recovery andReinvestment Act of . It was also a year of transition as Scott Klein left the job of director of facilities

and grounds after seven productive years. He was succeeded, in February , byDavid Sommer, a civil engineer with broad knowledge of contemporary buildingsystems and historic structures.

The Sleeping Cabins, a cluster of buildings tucked into the woods on the northern edge ofthe campus, were an important upgrade to Penland’s housing. Each building has two bed-rooms. They are connected by walkways to each other and to a common bathroom.

Each year Penland’s Annual Benefit Auction brings hundreds of artists,patrons, and volunteers to the school for a weekend celebration of craft, education,and community. The weekend’s central event is the display and sale of work donatedby current and former instructors and resident artists and former core fellows. Theevent is a showcase for Penland’s campus and programs, creates visibility for thework of hundreds of artists, and provides the school with about percent of itsannual income. The auction was a record breaker with the highest attendance ( for the

weekend), the highest ticket sales ($,), the highest net income ($,),the most centerpieces sold, and the most sponsorships to date. The Fund-A-Need,which asked for direct donations toward the construction of a new house for thecore fellows, raised $,—also a record. The centerpiece of the auction was alarge, figurative ceramic sculpture by Cristina Córdova, which was commissionedfor the event. This piece sold for $,, the highest price of the weekend.The weekend began with a luncheon for Lucy Morgan Leaders followed by an

auction preview and a memorable demonstration and hands-on workshop inpewter casting led by instructors Fred Fenster, Hiroko Yamada, and Susie Ganch.Fred Fenster was honored as the Penland School of Crafts OutstandingArtist Educator. As always, Penland’s gratitude goes out to the contributing artists, the

volunteers, and the many staff and board members who made this importantevent possible.

Donor Profile: Jon and Gwen Van ArkFor Gwen and Jon Van Ark and their son Daniel, volunteering is a family value.“It’s always been an important thing for our family,” Gwen says. “We’ve volunteeredfor NPR fund drives, we ride our bikes for fundraisers; working for worthy causestogether is just part of what we do.” Every year, the Van Arks give about a week oftheir time to Penland, as a family, working at the annual benefit auction.The rest of the time, at home in Carrboro, North Carolina, Jon is a medical

software engineer, Gwen works in the Child Development Institute at theUniversity of North Carolina, administering projects that study childhood autism,and Daniel works at a supermarket.Gwen first came to Penland as a student in , and has taken a class almost

every year since. She’s studied papermaking, printmaking, and bookbinding:“everything from medieval manuscript illumination to lithography, linoleum cuts,letterpress, and miniature books,” she says. Shortly after she started taking classes,she and Jon began volunteering. They started as art handlers, moving the work backand forth between Northlight and the tent, but were soon tapped for other jobs.“I’ve been an art guard, sleeping in the exhibition hall; I was on the ‘young guns’

crew for a while; I’ve done whatever anyone needed,” says John. “Now my crewunboxes the artwork at the tent and coordinates it with the models. We’ve got itall very organized.”“I was asked to take over as chief of the ‘Vannas’ [as the models who show the art-

work during the live auction are affectionately called],” Gwen says. “I hand-pick them alland invite them.” Daniel joined in when he was old enough, and works in the kitchen and dining

hall, where he enjoys the “good food, good atmosphere, and, occasionally, fun.” In, he took his first class, a one-week wood workshop. Jon has never taken aPenland class; his time off is limited, and “the auction takes vacation priority forme,” he says. “I enjoy it enough to think of it that way.”The Van Arks are also Lucy Morgan Leaders, although Gwen points out, “we

don’t partake in the special Lucy Morgan Leader auction activities because we’retoo busy working.” She adds that there are quite a few high-level donors who vol-unteer for the auction. She sees her position as a crew chief as an opportunity torecruit for the school. “I look for volunteers who are artists or art students—orcollectors who should know about Penland from a buying perspective,” she says.“We often encourage people we meet to volunteer so they can explore Penland asa place to take a class,” Gwen continued. “Volunteering at the auction is a good wayto try the place out without a big commitment—you come, work hard, fall in lovewith the place, then figure out how to do a one- or two-week class. I want my vol-unteers to make this a part of what they do, where their personal time and moneygoes.” –Wes Stitt

Donor Profile: Dan and Ruth Jordan“We would do anything to support Penland,” said Ruth Jordan. “It’s our artistichome.” Ruth was introduced to Penland by her husband, Dan, who started takingclasses at the school in . Sometime in the s, Dan, who was a labor lawyer,visited the studio of the furniture maker George Nakashima. “I didn’t amount tomuch with my hands,” he said, “but Nakashima inspired me. Somehow I heard aboutPenland and signed up for a wood class with Skip Johnson. I was taken withPenland, and Skip was a wonderful person. I hadn’t met people like that before whowere so open to new ideas and to helping people do what they wanted to do.” Dan and Ruth married in , took their first class together in , and have

been coming to Penland regularly since then. Ruth, whose career was in journalismand public relations, has mostly taken printmaking classes, with forays into relatedareas such as papermaking and letterpress printing. Dan took only wood classes formany years, but eventually found his way to the iron studio. Although they recent-ly moved into an apartment in Silver Spring, Maryland, for many years they had ahome in Greencastle, Pennsylvania with a print shop, a wood shop, and a forge.“Penland has been a big part of our relationship,” Ruth says, “and so has craft. We goto craft shows, we know artists, and our home is filled with craft—some of whichwe traded for our own work. It’s just an integral part of our lives.”Of course, coming to Penland for more than forty years, they have seen a lot of

changes. “We’ve stayed in almost every place on the campus and the facilities noware fabulous,” Ruth said. The first place we stayed, years ago, was Radcliffe, and itwas kind of crummy. The last time we stayed in that building it had all been fixedup and it was beautiful. Unbelievable. And the current print studio is just superb.Dan has some back trouble and when he found he wasn’t up to doing wood or iron,he took a drawing class. So there’s always a place for you at Penland.” –Robin Dreyer

I was so pleased and honored to

teach at Penland. The whole experi-

ence exceeded my already high

expectations. The mix of dedicated,

passionate, enthusiastic makers

brought together in a supportive,

beautiful, state-of-the-art facility

simply bowled me over. What a

model to aspire to. I recognize some

inkling of all that it must take to

make this happen, and I just want to

let you know how much I appreciate

all you and your compatriots do.

During the first week of Barry Lopez’sPenland residency, he gave a presentationthat included readings of two of his stories.During the rest of the residency, letterpressinstructor Paul Moxon worked with Lopez to create a broadside from one of thosestories: a short piece titled The Trail.In this picture Barry is signing copies of the broadside in the letterpress studio.


Other Gifts

Andrew Glasgow Resident: Barry LopezBarry Lopez, author of Arctic Dreams and other books of essays and stories, spenttwo weeks at Penland in October as part of the Andrew Glasgow WritersResidency (see page ). During that time, he gave a brilliant presentation to astanding-room-only crowd. He also spent time in the studios—working in severalof them—and engaged in many conversations. “If you’re going to come to Penland,”he said, “part of the experience is geographical, part of the experience is aesthetic,and a third part of the experience is conversation with fellow makers.”In his writings Barry sometimes refers to the “culture of hand tools.” Penland is

deeply rooted in that culture, so I asked him to reflect on this. “Part of what Penlandseems to be about is people trying to stay in touch,” he said. “By that I mean, throughtheir tools, to stay in touch with the raw materials of the earth, with plants fromwhich ink comes, with metals, with stones, with the lead that’s in pencils, with all ofthese things that come up out of the earth and are used to keep going the idea that itis a good thing and probably fundamentally necessary for civilization to stay inintimate touch with the earth. That, for me, is a lot of what’s going on in crafts.“When you see somebody in conversation with a piece of wood, in a conversation

with metal or paper, the conversation is antiphonal,” he said. “I think there is a wayto imagine imposing your will on the material, but there is another way, and that isto have a conversation with the material, to, if you’ll permit the figure of speech,be asking the material what it wants; you know what you want. The part that’s veryattractive to me about the crafts is the negotiation around a proposal, rather than anegotiation around an imposition. . . . What’s happening at Penland is people aremaintaining a long history of using tools to stay in touch—with each other throughthe sharing of art, and with the materials that are used to make art and craftedthings. I would say that Penland is a place that’s feeding the fire. When these firesgo out, we won’t have a civilization.” –Robin Dreyer

Happy metalsmiths with metal drumsmarching in Penland’s homemade July 4 parade.

Helen Elliott working at an enameling kilnin the metals studio. She took an unusualclass that combined enameled copper andsteel with bookbinding. Helen is a skilledmetalsmith who says of her time at Penland,“It’s a good thing to go out and have anexchange with others. There’s no point atwhich you’ve experienced everything.”


Scholarship Student Profile: Helen Elliott“Arriving at Penland, not only was I greeted by breathtaking surroundingsbut everyone was so friendly, humane, and conscious of each other,” writes studentHelen Elliott. “We were able to share stories, the struggles of our journeys, and ina few days realize that we are in fact part of one big family.” Helen attended Penlandfor the first time last summer in Elizabeth Turrell and Eileen Wallace’s metal andbooks workshop, Enameling for Books and More, with the help of the Mendes FamilyScholarship. “I had not attended Penland before, but I had always wanted to,” shesays. “I couldn’t have taken this class without a scholarship.”Helen is an experienced enamel artist herself, frequently working in a large scale

on steel and copper. Originally from Jamaica, she earned her MFA from Kent StateUniversity, the only university with a twenty-foot enameling furnace (until last yearwhen it was removed, she would often go back to fire her largest work), and teachesjewelry part-time at Towson State University in Baltimore, Maryland. As it happened,her class at Penland was a chance to reconnect with an old friend. “I’ve knownElizabeth Turrell for over twenty years,” she says. “She’s been a mentoring friend,and the combination of Elizabeth and Eileen was super.”Helen also saw the workshop as a part of her recovery from a major illness and

trauma; not long before, she had received a kidney transplant, which dramaticallyaffected her life and work. “My surgery and recovery impacted everything in mylife,” she recalls. “I basically lost everything—I didn’t have the energy to work andhad to give up my studio. Personally, it’s been a major struggle to get back on myfeet and do my work.” The class allowed Helen to share her knowledge, to feel her-self making strides of her own again, to rebuild her confidence, and to begin thetransition back into the working world. “It’s a good thing to go out and have anexchange with others,” she says. “There’s no point at which you’ve experiencedeverything. I learned new things and it helped with the creative juices.” In the time since the workshop, she has distilled those juices into a new body of

work. “At the moment I’m working on a piece that’s like an enameled book,” Helenreports. “I’ve been looking at sayings from Jamaica with deep meanings that I heardgrowing up, and I’m translating them, looking at text messaging and how youngpeople express themselves today, at how that new language affects expression. I’venever used text before, and now I’m cutting out text for enamels. The techniquesI learned in class are a perfect way of expressing these ideas.“Penland was all I thought it would be and more,” she said. “I was so excited to

be in the studio that I didn’t even get a chance to go out for walks, and I rushedback from meals. I want to come back to rent a studio in the winter, and I’ve beentelling people, if you want to go somewhere for a week or two and really work,you need to go to Penland. What a wonderful experience it was for me. It willchange my career forever.” –Wes Stitt

“Penland has made a deep impression

on me. I have returned home to Los

Angeles inspired by the people I met

and the techniques I learned. Third

session was an incubator for lasting

friendships and artistic exchange.

I found myself having intriguing

conversations with instructors and

peers regarding the nature of and

challenges facing our respective

media. Those late night dialogues

are already shaping the way I think

about my craft. I feel blessed to

have met such wonderful friends

and artists. It was also a pleasure

to work with the Penland staff as

a work-study student. Dishwashing

in the cafeteria was intense, but the

camaraderie among work-study

students was a bonus treat I enjoyed.

Third session had some awesome

dishwashers!

“I am now preparing to resume

my artistic pursuits at school and

at home. I am excited to apply what

I learned and to explore the ideas

that first germinated during my

time at Penland. Penland truly

changes lives.”

–Joseph Villedas, work-study student in a2011 clay class taught by Stephen Dixon.

“Penland is the first time I've worked

with, and been surrounded by, so

many professional artists, as well

as other students. I got to see,

on a daily basis, the mix of care

and playfulness experienced artists

put into their work. Nothing else

could have given me a sense of who

these real, contemporary artists are

as people, or motivated me so much

to one day call them my peers.”

Clovy Tsuchia, who received a HigherEducation Partnership Scholarship to take

Del Harrow’s clay workshop.

“This time at Penland has been rich

with personal growth, building

relationships and technical skills,

as well as adapting my approach to

teaching the creative process. I

know that the things I have learned

here will continue to enrich my

work as well as my students. I took

a risk and took an improvisational

quilt-making class, having never

made a quilt before. How wonderful

it has been to be a beginner and

experience artmaking as my students

do. I am thrilled to share the

improvisational approach to artmak-

ing with my students, to encourage

them to have an open mind, make

decisions, and adapt to unknown

outcomes. I have been grateful for

every moment that I have spent

at this truly magical place.”

“I learned more about art in two

weeks than I've learned the two

years I’ve spent in art school. Being

surrounded by highly motivated,

creative people has inspired me to

push my own art using the ideas

they've shared. I now feel I have a

better understanding of what it is

to be an artist.”

–Evan Hoffman, who received a HigherEducation Partners Scholarship to take a

letterpress class with Bill Hall and Amy Pirkle

Leslie Gregory Gruesbeck is an assistantprofessor of art and director of the galleryat Northwestern State University ofLouisiana. She attended Polly Barton’ssixth-session weaving workshop, Ikat:Rigors and Secrets using a professionaldevelopment grant for her professorship,which she supplemented by washing dishesas a Penland work-study student.“I love work-study,” she said. “I think the

really wonderful benefit was getting tobond with people in other studios who Iwould not even have had a chance to really meet otherwise. In a very short peri-od of time, I’ve met some extraordinarypeople, some of whom are much youngerthan me, some of whom are a little older. I think Lucy Morgan would be proud ofPenland, I think Penland is doing what shewanted.”

Donor Profile: Bob Culbertson“I grew up in a hardworking family, and I’ve worked hard all my life,” says BobCulbertson. “When I got into my sixties, I thought, there’s got to be more than this.So I took a night class in pottery at Spirit Square in Charlotte. I knew about Penlandbecause we have a home in Linville and I’d gone to the auctions. So I called andasked if they would take a rank beginner. Brad Schwieger was teaching, and I wasway at the bottom of the class. That was nineteen years ago, and I’ve gone every yearsince then. And pottery has become a major part of my life.” It wasn’t just pottery that became part of his life, however. Penland itself became

deeply important to him. He has been a consistent and generous contributor, heand his wife, Peggy, fund a scholarship each year, and they have set up a culturaltrust as part of their estate, with Penland School named as one of the beneficiaries.He also spent eight years on the board of trustees. “The Penland board is the bestboard I have served on including bank boards and many charities,” he says. “It’s theonly time I’ve been on a board and have not wanted my term to expire.”He has also passed on his love for Penland and craft to his grandchildren. His

grandson Amos, who is a research fellow in geology at Baylor University, hasalready taken a number of classes. And this past summer Bob was at Penland alongwith three of his grandchildren: Amos, his sister Rosa, and their cousin Bruce. “Itwas a great chance to spend time with my grandchildren,” he says. “And they are allready to go back.” Bob spent his career running a life insurance agency. His son-in-law runs the

company now, but Bob, who is eighty, still puts in some time at work—along withthrowing pots and pursuing other interests. And everywhere he goes, he tells peopleabout Penland. “I see what it means to people who go there. The letters we get fromthe people who get the scholarships are very touching. I just feel so fortunate tohave Penland right here in the mountains of North Carolina.”“Penland is a beacon in the world of craft,” he adds. “It is known worldwide and

held in the highest respect. Almost every class I’ve been in has had students fromother countries. I don’t think many people in our state understand Penland’s world-wide reputation.” –Robin Dreyer

"I had one of the best experiences

of my life. I have been inspired by

my amazing instructors, the stu-

dents, and the environment.

Through my many discoveries here

at Penland, my art has developed

into something unfamiliar but

refreshing. I have been inspired to

take my skills to a new level by

embracing the creative process and

becoming one with my artwork. I

look forward to using what I have

learned with the children I work

with in art therapy."

Sculptor Stoney Lamar working outside the Penland wood shop in February 2012.Stoney and fellow sculptor Robyn Hornrecruited a group of artists who spent a week working together in the iron and wood studios.

Donor Profile: Stoney LamarStoney Lamar didn’t set out to become an artist. “It’s a mystery to me how Icame to sculpture,” he says, “I have no degrees in art.” His first career was in mentalhealth, although he says, “It was just a brush with the field, really; enough to knowI wasn’t suited for it.” At about age thirty, Stoney enrolled in a woodworking pro-gram at Appalachian State University, intending to make furniture for a living. Thenhe tried turning wood on a friend’s lathe. “That was it for furniture,” he recalls. “Iwas much more suited to the lathe; it’s rhythmical, dancelike.” Rather than makeproduction work, he used the lathe to experiment. His technical skills lagged, buthe felt that he was making conceptual moves that were very satisfying. “Eventually,I took a swing at making production items, “ he says, “but I could never make any-thing that sold. So my wife Susan finally said, ‘Why don’t you just make sculpture?’”Some years down the road, Stoney, who lives and works in Saluda, North

Carolina, is a nationally recognized sculptor in wood and steel. His work can befound in the collections of the Renwick Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum,the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Mint Museum of Craft + Design, andthe High Museum of Art, among others. No studio hermit, he is also a foundingmember of the Association of American Woodturners, and has been a trustee of theAmerican Craft Council, a director of Handmade in America, and president of boththe Southern Highlands Craft Guild and the Center for Craft, Creativity, andDesign. Stoney began taking classes at Penland about twelve years ago, mostly in iron.

Four years ago, he spent five weeks renting studio space during the winter, workingwith core fellow Andrew Hayes, making new work, and thinking deeply about whatit means to be a maker and what he’s learned from making. “I fell in love with theplace, just like everybody else,” he says. “It was a revelation. Winter up there is mag-ical, kind of monastic.” The winter rental led to a new body of work on a larger scalethan he had attempted before. In the summer of , he taught his first Penlandworkshop, a sculptural woodcarving class co-taught with Mark Gardner. He was aninvited participant in the instructors’ retreat in September and the iron andwood collaboration in February .“Penland is like Never-Never Land,” he muses. “Every time I go up there, something

happens. Recently, I was up for an afternoon during Mark Gardner’s class. BobTrotman was giving slides, I got to sit in, and I saw something that really set me off.Every time I come home from Penland, I’ve seen something, learned something,gotten excited about something new.”Stoney supports Penland by donating artwork to the annual benefit auction.

“I believe in giving back,” he says, “but I will admit to having a subliminal purposeas well. I hope that by giving wood sculpture and having it produce income at theauction, I can help raise the profile of wood sculptors generally. It’s giving back, ofcourse, but also sort of saying, ‘look at us,’ and trying to get other makers in woodto do the same thing.“Penland has become really important to me,” he continues. “I love encouraging

young people to be makers, and if my contributions can help that tradition continue,I am proud.” –Wes Stitt
