Penland will participate in the always thrilling SOFA Chicago, which runs at Navy Pier, November 7-9. If you’re attending, please stop by our information table and say hello: we will have a preview list of our Summer 2015 workshops available.
You will also find us at SOFA 2014 involved in a project with four other craft schools promoting the craft school experience. This group will have a booth with information and a small collection of work by artists connected with the different schools. The group of craft schools will also present a panel discussion about craft workshop education.
And, if that’s not enough, Penland’s director Jean W. McLaughlin will moderate a panel discussion titled The Artist’s Perspective on Growth and Change with Penland instructors Raissa Bump, Cristina Cordova, Arthur Gonzalez, and Tom Huang.
