Summer at Penland is serious studio time, but it’s also so much more—the views, the people, the porch sits and volleyball games, the new ideas, the focus, the late nights, the energy, the community. The entire experience can be hard to put into words, so we were honored to have a crew from Charlotte here last summer to distill some of it into a short TV segment.

If you like these five minutes of creative retreat, then why not try a whole week or two? Registration is currently open for all 102 of our summer workshops, and scholarship applications are due this Saturday, February 17.
