Here's a look at one of the fabulous items available now through Art for Penland:
Gary S. Griffin, Rock with Anomaly Verde Steel with powder coating , 16 x 16 x 14 in. $1,500
Gary Griffin is one of the nation's most esteemed metalsmiths and educators. For 22 years, he taught at Cranbrook Academy of Art and headed its metals department. He has influenced hundreds of students and encouraged them to study at Penland. His Rock with Anomaly Verde is a wall-mounted sculpture made of steel with a powder-coated green appendage. If you know Gary, you'll appreciate the humor in his description:
"It is one of a series of fabricated steel rocks mounted to the wall. In its context on the wall, the rock is odd and the lime green flower/science model is more so."
Gary Griffin has generously given this work to Penland in support of the scholarship fund for metals students.
