Penland School of Crafts Annual Report Fiscal Year 2006 – 2007 Penland’s Mission The mission of Penland School of Crafts is to support individual and artistic growth through craft. The Penland Vision Penland’s programs engage the human spirit which is expressed throughout the world in craft. Penland enriches lives by teaching skills, ideas, and the value of the handmade. Penland welcomes everyone—from vocational and avocational craft practitioners to interested visitors. Penland is a stimulating, transformative, egalitarian place where people love to work, feel free to experiment, and often exceed their own expectations. Penland’s beautiful location and historic campus inform every aspect of its work. Penland’s Educational Philosophy Penland’s educational philosophy is based on these core ideas: • Total immersion workshop education is a uniquely effective way of learning. • Close interaction with others promotes the exchange of information and ideas between individuals and disciplines. • Generosity enhances education—Penland encourages instructors, students, and staff to freely share their knowledge and experience. • Craft is kept vital by preserving its traditions and constantly expanding its boundaries.

As I reflect on the twelve months presented in this annual report, I am struck by the many ways continuity and change come together at Penland. Change is a healthy constant for our evolution, and continuity enables us to remain grounded. They are evident in the dynamic innovation of our programs and the deep respect paid to our history and traditions. During this year, we began to implement our new five-year plan and completed important campus improvements. We also adopted new strategies to strengthen our services and sustain the creative energy that defines Penland.

In ‒, in-depth planning for the program was funded by the North Carolina Arts Council. Penland worked with its local partners as well as regionally- and nationally-based consultants to create a structure for the program. One of these consultants, Eric Booth of the Juilliard School, also conducted a dynamic, one-day workshop on tech- niques for applying the arts in the classroom.The workshop was attended by seventy local teachers and artists. Penland was also an advisory sponsor for Fire on the Mountain, an annual blacksmithing festival in nearby Spruce Pine. The school provided special scholarships for a senior at Mitchell High School and two recent graduates of Cherokee High School.A spring visit by ceramics students from Winston- Salem State University, arranged by Sharif Bey, an instructor at WSSU and Penland, included several workshops at Penland and visits to local studios. Penland also hosted the board meetings of the Craft Emergency Relief Fund and the North Carolina Arts Council.

The Jeff Huberman and Cheryl Walker success of the auction depended on the support Paul A.Wandless of the  Penland-affiliated artists who Mary M.Wannamaker Susan W.Ward and John Ward donated work. Their names are listed below. Finally, the auction could not proceed as the festive weekend it has become without the scores of dedicated volunteers who give so enthusiastically to this event. This year  volunteers provided table and kitchen services, moved and packed art, and performed hun- dreds of other tasks that made the event such a success.Thank you all,our artists,patrons,and volunteers, for making the auction a great event, year after year. A list of those patrons who purchased art follows, acknowledging especially those who supported Penland with contributions through purchase amounts above the market value of the work.
