Are you looking for a few minutes of inspiration and a hit of the Penland spirit? Take a look at this little movie that core fellow Rachel Garceau made for core slides night this week. She prefaced it by saying that she was attempting to answer two questions: why do I make things and what does success look like?
Recent Penland resident artist David Chatt is featured in this episode of Art Zone with Nancy Guppy on the Seattle Channel, talking about his beadwork, his residency, glass casting, and the recent installation of his massive cast-glass window. His segment is from 3:08 to 8:00. Enjoy!

Think about it—if you do a haunted house in a building that’s going to be torn down, you can kind of mess it up without consequence. Hmmm….
Here it is from the outside.
