Penland Summer Classes Still Available

There are still 16 amazing classes you can sign up for at Penland School of Crafts in the summer of 2013. Here's a look at one of them:

August 11 - 23, 2013 in the clay studio - Tetsuya Yamada - Object & Context   In this mixed-media sculpture class, we will investigate perception, context and the meaning of objects. Objects, their surroundings, and our knowledge can be processed in our minds to create a kind of narrative. We will work with high-fire stoneware and other materials and cover how to handle clay and the use of simple plaster press molds. Discussions, slide lectures, and demonstrations will help students develop creative thinking. This class welcomes students of all levels.

Kyoung Ae Cho - Conversation with Nature

May 26 - June 7 in the metals studio:

 

Paying close attention to the marks left by time in nature and the environment, this class will explore ideas while expanding visual and conceptual language. Students will be encouraged to use natural resources as well as found objects in creating installations outdoors and objects in the studio. This class is less of a how-to and more of an experience in discovery, questioning, and finding ongoing ways of working. This workshop welcomes students of all levels.

Kyoung Ae is a professor at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and has also taught at the Kansas City Art Institute. She is the recipient of a Pollack-Krasner Foundation grant, and has exhibited at the Tweed Museum, the Kemper Museum, the Kohler Art Center, the Gregg Museum of Art & Design, the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Kohler Arts Center.

Penland School of Crafts Summer Classes Deadline

Summer Deadlines Approaching at Penland School of Crafts:

The Lottery: February 11th - To give a greater number of people a chance to enroll in the most popular classes, applications received by 5pm on February 11th will be placed in a lottery and treated equally. (For example, if a class has 12 spaces and we receive 15 applications by February 11, we will take all 15 names and randomly select 12 of them.)
