Summer Classes at Penland School of Crafts

It's not too late to take a class at Penland this summer.  There are still openings in a bunch of fabulous workshops:  Click here for a complete list of summer classes with open spaces.

For example, here's a look at just one of the fantastic classes you could take at Penland:


A Worthy Vessel with James Viste - Session 3 (June 24 - July 6) in the iron studio:  This class will involve the manipulation of ferrous materials through a combination of forging, fabrication, and low-relief die-forge production and application to create functional/sculptural vessels. There will be an emphasis on the observation and influence of other craft materials such as clay, wood, fabric, and leather. All levels.

James Viste is an artist blacksmith and the manager of Edgewise Forge. He teaches at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan.
