Penland School of Craft is a national center for craft education located in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Penland’s focus on excellence, its long history, and its inspiring retreat setting has made it an experiential education model. The school offers workshops in books and paper, clay, drawing and painting, glass, iron, metals, photography, printmaking, letterpress, textiles, wood, and other media. Penland sponsors artist residencies, a gallery and visitors center, and community education programs.Approximately 1,400 people come to Penland annually for instruction, and another 14,000 pass through as visitors. Penland has no standing faculty; its instructors include full-time studio artists as well as teachers from colleges and universities. Students live at Penland and take only one class at a time, allowing them to learn by total immersion–the ideas and information gained in a two-week session might take a year to absorb and process.Thank you so much for listening.
