PENLAND SCHOLARSHIPS SUMMER 2024

Penland is an intentionally inclusive community that values the creative energy that arises from diverse artistic visions and approaches.

Our scholarship program exists to make our workshops accessible to those who are not able to participate without financial assistance and to create educational opportunities for people who have been underrepresented at Penland and in the craft world.
