WELCOME

Whether you are staying with us on campus, or in the area at one of the many nearby accommodations, we stock a variety of everyday essentials to make any length of stay with us a bit more cozy and comfortable.

Supporting the educational foundation of our school, our staff endeavor to source socially and environmentally responsible merchandise, and we offer quality products with affordable options.

Be sure to also visit the Penland Coffee House and the Penland Gallery & Visitor Center. Parking, designated handicap parking, and accessible paths are located nearby each destination.

GENERAL SUPPLIES

We stock general supplies like notebooks, adhesives, measuring devices, sharps & scissors, sketchbooks, brushes, and writing instruments.  If you are looking for something specific, please contact us prior to your class or visit – as our inventory is ever-evolving based on the content and requirements of workshops.

We have a tasty selection of specialty snacks and our “QuickMart”  department stocks items you might have forgotten – toothbrush, flashlight, batteries, hand lotion – all here for you.

We also offer a UPS shipping service that provides a low-cost competitive price option. Students and community members can benefit by using us to ship their packages. We sell bubble wrap and packing tape – boxes can often be sourced from our recycling. 

PENLAND APPAREL and MERCHANDISE

If you would like to take home a reminder of your class or your visit to Penland School, we have a great collection of Penland items including T-shirts, sweatshirts, Miir drinkware, ball caps, postcards, and aprons.
