We’re thrilled to announce our four new Penland core fellows. Elmar Fujita, Daniel Garver, Morgan Hill, and Bryan Parnham will join Jamie Karolich, Joshua Kovarik, Meghan Martin, Emily Rogstad, and Tyler Stoll on campus in the Spring of 2015:

 

 

Elmar Fujita graduated in 2014 with a BFA in Product Design from Parsons the New School for Design in New York City. Elmar served as a shop technician in wood at Parsons, and then attended Haystack, which led her to pursue the Penland core fellowship. elmarfujita.com

 

 

 

 

 
 

 
Daniel Garver is a ceramic artist with a BFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee who has worked with several studio potters in the Penland community. He will use his time as a core fellow to exercise his interest in design through experimentation in clay, wood, iron, and paper. danielgarver.com
