In fiscal year2014 we did this through 138 classes that served 1407 students and were led by instructors from the U.S. and 14 countries. We also encouraged creative stretching through special programs like the glass/iron/wood residency that brought twenty-eight artists together for a week in January, 2014, and gave them time to learn from each other and experiment with new ideas. Master printer and entrepreneur Phil Sanders led the “Business Time” workshop that gave core fellows, resident artists, and studio coordinators a chance to spend time exploring professional practices. Our 2013 writer-in-residence, anthropologist Emilia Ferraro, embedded herself in Jason Pollen’s textile class to experience first-hand new surface design techniques that would rein- force her academic understanding of the relationship between anthropology, sustainability, and craft. In turn she drew fascinating connections for the community in her lecture on the relationship between craft and economic anthropology. (See page 24.)

the help of poet and Penland’s marketing associate, Elaine Bleakney. As communica- tion tools expand, we are investigating the best ways to maintain the diversity of our program participants, from graduating high school students and college-aged people to professionals and retirees, from millennials to baby boomers. We also continued our work with Haystack, Arrowmont, Peters Valley, and Pilchuck to strengthen the marketing and national awareness of craft workshop schools—an effort that included gathering at Penland and test marketing our advertising campaign. This joint project was launched at SOFA Chicago in November, 2014. We extended our educational reach through Penland tours to Arkansas, Oaxaca, and Cuba. Seventy-three participants in these tours visited studios of major international artists, met curators and community cultural leaders, visited museums and historic sites, and joined in hands-on workshops. We stayed in the Bentonville, Arkansas 21C Hotel, which is filled with contemporary art. In Oaxaca, we dyed fabric using local techniques and made our own corn tortillas in a cooking school, and, in rural Cuba, we danced with local children at a community center. Since our campus master plan was first developed in 1999, we have been planning to expand Penland’s walking trails. Trail Dynamics was hired to build a 1.8-mile trail to the top of Otter Knobs. The trail was named in honor of deep ecologist, neighbor, and friend Paulus Berensohn and dedicated on his eightieth birthday in May, 2013. A meditative and welcoming shelter and bench was designed and constructed by John Clark and Zander Ellenbogen. It was installed in the fall of 2013 with the help of John Clark’s concentration students and Richard Prisco’s Appalachian State University students. There’s no direct vehicle access to the site, so the volunteers had to carry the Hammers and other blacksmithing structure in sections about two-hundred yards through the woods. tools made in a summer workshop Notable among other facilities improvements is the new drawing/painting/books taught by Colby Brinkman and Haley studio, which was designed by Cannon Architects and will be named for the Samuel L.

In the pages to follow, we share many of the stories and accomplishments of the fiscal year that ended April30 , 2014. Thank you for being with us and behind us all the way! Your support enables Penland to be an extraordinary place that expands imagination and challenges each of us to be more, share more, and learn more than we thought possible.

3 Penland School of Crafts Annual Report, May 2013 – April 2014 WORKSHOPS

Jonathan Branch AT THE ROOT OF THE PENLAND EXPERIENCE ARE WORKSHOPS that are open to students at various levels of skill and encourage serious engagement with materials and processes. Our instructors—full-time studio artists, educators, and college and university faculty—create Penland workshops where students immerse themselves in learning for one, two, or eight weeks. In Penland workshops, experimentation is a given, and being a student is an intensive creative experience. During fiscal year 2014, Penland instructors taught eight-week concentration workshops in book arts, surface design in clay, small-scale metal design, narrative photography, vacuum-press techniques in the wood studio, handbuilding clay, traditional and alternative processes in hot glass, thermodynamic design in iron, animated letterpress, personal woven cartography, and woodworking with discarded and found wood. One hundred and five summer workshops featured instructors from the U.S., Australia, India, Israel, and Japan, with a surprising number of workshops focused on kinetics: mechanisms and microcontrollers in metals, a robotic Pinewood Derby workshop in the wood studio, and a workshop in which simple machinery gave motion to furniture, sculpture, and wearable objects. There were also classes in shoemak- ing, time-based digital media, Ukiyo-e printmaking, three-dimensional paper forms, basketry, agrarian toolmaking, using Japanese textile traditions in contemporary art, pewtersmithing, the summer-appropriate Sea Life through Boroscilate Glass, glass goblets, a “low-fire adventure” in clay, woodfiring strategies, and so much more.

A broad spectrum of techniques, workshop content, ways to honor craft traditions, and ways to innovate—all of these elements come into play as Penland workshops are developed by instructors in consultation with Leslie Walker Noell, Penland’s program director. Penland’s workshops are as diverse as the instructors who teach them. The particular philosophies of instructors shine through the class descriptions they write. Rory Sparks, in describing her workshop combining animation and letterpress, explained that “inspiration will come from Marcel Duchamp’s film, Anémic Cinéma, Bruno Manari’s useless machines, and, of course, Eadweard Muybridge.” And instructor Matthew Szösz wrote, “glass will be our primary material, but we’ll define Instructor Stephen Yusko explain- ‘material’ as broadly as possible.” ing steel finishes in his workshop in the iron studio.

6 Penland School of Crafts Annual Report, May 2013 – April 2014 CORE FELLOWS

“GROOVY, FIERCE, HOT ROCKETS,” IS HOW ONE OF PENLAND’S FACEBOOK FANS RECENTLY DESCRIBED OUR CORE FELLOWS. Core fellows live and work at Penland for two years. During this time they take a dizzying number of workshops, work on the grounds and in the kitchen, mastermind events and slideshows, and engage daily with staff, students, instructors, and visitors. All this while creating their own work, which they exhibit each October in a show presented at Northlight. In February of 2014, five fully-fledged core fellows flew the coop: Zee Boudreaux, Liz Koerner, Mike Krupiarz, Rachel Mauser, and Molly Kite Spadone, making way for five new core fellows: Jamie Karolich, Joshua Kovarik, Meghan Martin, Emily Rogstad, and Tyler Stoll. The new five moved into Morgan Hall with second year core fellows Audrey Bell, Sarah Rachel Brown, Angela Eastman, and Will Lentz.

Core fellow Sarah Rachel Brown in the metals studio. Before she came to Penland, Sarah apprenticed with jeweler and former core fellow Sarah Loertscher. Like all core fellows, she had to navigate the challenge of balancing her work for the school, her classes, and the demands of regular life. “I love it here at Penland,” she said. “Sometimes you do feel like it’s everyone else’s escape while it’s your reality. That can be kind of hard Core fellow Mike Krupiarz blowing glass. During his two years in the program, Mike made because you’re balancing paying excellent functional and sculptural work in glass, wood, and several other media. bills and doing your laundry while everyone else is staying up all night in the studio and not thinking about anything but their work for days at a time. But it is kind of a paradise. I don’t know where I’ll live again where I’m surrounded by mountains and I have state-of-the-art studios at my fingertips whenever I want them. It’s a pretty special and incredible experience.”

8 Penland School of Crafts Annual Report, May 2013 – April 2014 COMMUNITY COLLABORATIONS

ARTS EDUCATION EXTENDS INTO THE COMMUNITY thanks to an ongoing partnership with the Mitchell County public schools. Penland’s Teaching Artist Initiative creates relationships with local classroom teachers, working with them to integrate arts into the schools. In fiscal year 2014, 457 students in third, fourth, and ninth grades experienced twelve to fifteen hours of making books with content related to subjects they were exploring and studying in the classroom. In the spring of 2014, students at Mayland Early College worked with Penland teaching artist intern Rachel Mauser and teacher Melora Bennett to make books in a workshop guided by a family culture research project curriculum. Rachel and sculptor Lisa Clague also led letterpress printing and clay workshops for high school students as part of the Professional Craft Study Program. Subs with SuitCASES (Creative Approaches to Substitute Education), another Penland community initiative, strengthened and sustained its mission of placing arts-oriented subs with creative lesson plans in the classroom. Penland Kids Camp served 151 kids in 13 classes. Forty-two children received scholarships, and no applicant was turned away if space was available. Scholarship students were also assisted by Centro Latino, Safeplace Women’s Shelter, and Communities in the Schools when transportation, meals, or language assistance was needed. Penland’s annual community open house took place on March 1, 2014—it’s a free event that brought 560 guests and 125 volunteers to Penland’s studios. Past core “I want kids to find out they are fellows Andi Steele and Geoff Calabrese brought a group of students from University more than they thought they were,” of North Carolina-Wilmington to volunteer, and pastepaper made by visitors was says Meg Peterson speaking about donated to Blue Ridge Regional Hospital to become part of a project of the Healing her years of experience in local Arts Collaboration.

She notes that working with handmade books and journal- ing gives students from elementary grades to high school a new place to inhabit. “It connects kids to their interiority, which is so important.

Elaine Bleakney PENLAND’S SPECIAL PROGRAMS bring fresh ideas, voices, and hands into the Penland studios. During the winter of 2014, Penland developed and hosted a glass, iron, and wood residency. Funded by the John and Robyn Horn Foundation, the residency focused on experimental research and collaboration in Penland’s glass, iron, and wood studios. Fourteen Penland affiliated artists were invited. In turn, each of these fourteen artists invited another artist who had never been to Penland before. These twenty-eight participated in a winter week of lively dialogue and spontaneity, hosting demonstrations open to the Penland community and ‘commuting’ from studio to studio according to interest, imagination, and drive. Penland’s Winter Print and Letterpress Residency program received a record number of applications for 2014. Twenty resident artists and writers were selected to spend two weeks during January working on special projects with guidance from lead printmaker Diane Fine and lead letterpress printer Kathy Kuehn. In June of 2013, Dr. Emilia Ferraro arrived at Penland as the fourth recipient of the Andrew Glasgow Writers Residency. An Italian anthropologist, Ferraro explores the connections between craft, sustainability, and anthropology in her research. For more on her Penland visit, see page 24. Also in June, the United States Artists board of trustees met in Asheville and spent Artist, master printer, publisher, part of their meeting at Penland.

The visit was arranged by Asheville resident Andrew Glasgow, who is Business Time. “The workshop a United States Artists trustee and a long-time friend of Penland. came out of a conversation I had with [former program director] Dana Moore several years ago,” Phil explained. “I developed this class for artists at Penland. I wrote the course book based on my strategic planning process for any business. It does not matter if it is a sole pro- prietorship or a thousand-employee company, every business needs the same things. Writers get editors, big companies get CFOs, and artists get each other—which is great for living a creative life, but not so good for business. I treat each student like a client. This course provides artists This group of artists spent a week at Penland in the winter of 2014 working separately and collaboratively in the glass, iron, and wood studios.

10 Penland School of Crafts Annual Report, May 2013 – April 2014 ARCHIVES

IN JULY OF 2013, PENLAND RECEIVED A GIFT of 132 works of art from the collection of Bill and Jane Brown. Bill was Penland’s director from 1962–1983. While he and his wife, Jane, were at Penland, they were given many works by students, instructors, residents, core fellows, and artists in the community. Of the 132 donated works, 38 will remain in Penland’s archives as examples of the life of the school during that time period. The pieces reflect relationships forged between the Browns and artists involved in the school’s programs as well as the kind of experimentation with materials and processes that took place during those years. The remaining works will be placed in school housing and the Pines, or offered for sale through the benefit auction and scholarship auctions. Jasmin McFayden, assistant to the director, worked with staff and community members as well as Jane Brown and her son Bill to identify and catalog the works. Included in the gift is a dress made for Jane Brown by Louise Todd Cope from fabric woven by the Penland Weavers. A glass platter, identified by Mark Peiser as a demonstration piece by Roland Jahn, represents early work made in Penland’s glass studio. Examples of Cynthia Bringle’s work show her steady hand and commitment to functional ceramics over many years. Other representative works are by instructors Karen Karnes, This decorated ceramic platter by Walter Nottingham, Mary Walker Phillips, Don Drumm, and Jon Brooks. Judith Cornell was part of the gift from These pieces open a window into a significant time in Penland’s history—a time the Brown collection. when the national craft community was growing and evolving rapidly. They are mementos of a vibrant network of artists built through the leadership of Bill and Jane Brown and are a welcome enhancement to the Penland archives.

These two vessels—the ceramic is by Norm Schulman and the glass by Robert Barber—are part of the collection given to the Penland archive by Jane Brown, who was married to and worked closely with Penland's second director, Bill Brown. 11 Penland School of Crafts Annual Report, May 2013 – April 2014 GALLERY AND VISITORS CENTER

THE PENLAND GALLERY AND VISITORS CENTER, located in historic Horner Hall, hosted five Focus Gallery exhibitions in 2013 and offered work for sale by Penland instructors, resident artists, and students. Gallery director Kathryn Gremley also curated an exhibition by Penland resident artists at the Asheville Area Arts Council, celebrating fifty years of the Resident Artist Program. (See page 6.) The Focus Gallery space is used primarily for single artist exhibitions. It is pro- grammed to highlight a range of craft media and also encourage sales for the individual artists. The exhibitions have featured emerging and established artists making functional and decorative work. Behind the scenes, Kathryn and her staff planned for an extensive renovation to Horner Hall, anticipating a temporary move to Penland’s main campus while the Gallery undergoes renovation in 2015. A new special exhibition space, a visitor center gallery featuring Penland’s craft history, updated sales gallery spaces, an outdoor sculpture garden, and an improved entrance drive will all be part of the new Horner. The Penland Gallery also expanded its web presence to include an online shop launched in March of 2014. At penland.org/shop, visitors can view works for sale from the gallery collection, the Focus exhibitions, special collections, and other features. The gallery counted 9,120 visitors in fiscal year 2014. Work by 207 artists was featured in the gallery, generating sales of $294,416. The gallery offered 65 tours of the campus, welcoming a total of 488 individuals.

12 Penland School of Crafts Annual Report, May 2013 – April 2014 FACILITIES

IN FISCAL YEAR 2014, PENLAND’S FACILITIES AND GROUNDS CREW replaced, rehabili- tated, removed, improved, repainted, refinished, planted, and refreshed the campus— and then some. The design for the new books, drawing, and painting studio went through some necessary modifications with Cannon Architects. Ratio Architects completed design development for the new Northlight complex, which will house photography and papermaking studios and a social hall. Architect Jim Smith and engineers completed a schematic design for extensive renovations to the Pines. The renovation and expan- sion of historic Horner Hall entered the design development phase with architect Dail Dixon. This project includes remodeling the gallery on the ground floor, creating a new exhibition space on the north side of the building, converting the second floor into office spaces, and extensive changes to the landscape. The facilities and grounds crew also completed a mind-boggling array of projects including interior repairs, safety improvements, exterior restorations, grounds prepa- ration for construction of the new drawing, painting, and books studios, and a tremen- dous amount of seasonal grounds work, including a festive Earth Day garden planting. A sweet special project was the installation of a small structure for sitting at the top of Otter Knobs, which is the far (and high) end of the Paulus Path, a 1.8-mile-long walking trail named in honor of artist and Penland neighbor Paulus Berensohn. The structure was designed and built by John Clark and Zander Ellenbogen. It was moved into place and assembled by our facilities staff and a crew of volunteers, who had to This welcoming structure, designed carry it in sections about two-hundred yards through the woods to reach the site. and built by John Clark and Zander Generations of uphill walkers will be grateful.

This is the walkway through the lower campus getting a surface upgrade. The new system starts with landscape fabric that gets covered by a grid of hard plastic rings about an inch deep. The grid is then covered with washed gravel, which is locked in place by the rings. The result is a stable gravel surface that drains well and is not subject to erosion.

Nick Graetz DONOR/STUDENT PROFILE: ELIZABETH ARALIA ALTHOUGH ELIZABETH ARALIA HAS BEEN AN ARTIST MOST OF HER LIFE, she didn’t start coming to Penland until she was fifty: the year her son turned ten. “I came in 1998 for a class with Nick Cave and it was transformative,” she said. “I said to myself, ‘I’m going to come back here every year.’ And so far I have.” Elizabeth and her husband, photographer Nick Graetz, had moved to North Carolina about ten years before that, and Elizabeth says that she heard about Penland “in the air.” Born in Detroit, she got an English degree at Indiana University and then went on to study art at the College of Creative Studies at the University of Santa Barbara in California. “It was a fascinating place,” she said. “The teachers there were all artists, and they just taught whatever they wanted. There was no set curriculum.” After finishing that program, she headed for New York. “I ran out of money near my mother’s house in Indiana, so I stayed there. I got this grant from the NEA where they paid you to do your art and to work with kids in the schools. During that time, I met and married my husband, and eventually we settled in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.” Elizabeth works in textiles, painting, assemblage, and collage. One of her best- known projects is a tarot deck created through carefully-constructed collage. “I’ve been doing collage since 1978,” she said. “I don’t do it using a computer. I like to use things that there’s only one of; it’s more of a commitment.” Recent Penland workshops have reignited her interest in painting and introduced her to encaustic, which she has been integrating into her work. In addition to her years of taking Penland workshops, Elizabeth and Nick have been generous annual supporters of the school, and they have recently created a scholarship in honor of Elizabeth’s late sister, Lynn Kerr Azzam. “She’s my half sister and we Elizabeth Aralia interacting with an art wouldn’t have known her except for the Internet.

I want to give people the help I didn’t get when I was struggling financially and needed support as an artist. I imagine what it would have been like if someone had given me time at Penland back then.” “Penland is magnetic and people who have the right metal get stuck.” Elizabeth said. “It draws me back every year. When the catalog comes, I get excited, and when I first drive in, I just think, ‘There it is.’” –Robin Dreyer

LUCY MORGAN LEADERS Penland’s Lucy Morgan Leaders are a special leadership group of annual fund donors who contribute $1,000 or more each year to support the annual operating needs of the school. These gifts directly benefit studio operations and scholarships.

RESIDENT WRITER: EMILIA FERRARO IN 2003, SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGIST EMILIA FERRARO was living in Ecuador, where she had been teaching and doing research off and on for ten years. She was going through a difficult time personally and didn’t have a job. She decided she should use the time doing something out of the ordinary for her, so began learning to make jewelry. She was hoping that learning this skill would give her mind a rest. “In fact,” she said, “it changed my whole way of understanding what knowledge is and my understanding of the process of learning. For a teacher like me, this is huge. I soon discovered something that is probably obvious to people at Penland but was completely unknown to me at the time, which is that mind and body, they do work together. I realized and experienced that the body is the source of a particular type of knowledge and that knowledge is not only in the mind. I also discovered that this knowledge is rarely granted full authority compared, for example, to scientific or academic knowledge because of the widespread belief that knowledge from the intellect is more valuable than experiential knowledge.” Emilia, who is Italian by birth, is the director of the Sustainable Development Program in the School of Geography and Geosciences at the University of St. Andrews Writer and social anthropologist Emilia in Scotland. She has a Ph.D. in social anthropology from the University of Kent and a Ferraro was the 2013 Andrew Glasgow masters in development studies from Victoria University of Manchester, both in the Writing Resident at Penland. England. She spent a couple weeks at Penland in the summer of 2013 as the Andrew Glasgow Writing Resident. Emilia has written extensively about the indigenous people of Andean Ecuador. She has also become deeply involved in the search for new ways of living that are more in harmony with the planet and with the nonhuman world. She refers to this effort as “the sustainability project.” Part of her motivation to spend time at Penland came from her interest in how craft or creative making relates to sustainability. In her Penland talk, she explained how time spent in Penland studios stimulated this thinking. “I pinched a pot in the ceramics class, I dyed indigo cloth in textiles. I had a lot of fun but it has also been a source of thinking. While I was doing this I was remind- ed in very practical terms how much we humans are made up of the same stuff as the materials I was handling. . . . I think that the creative practice of making promotes a different notion of humanity by drawing attention to this intimate relationship between the making of human life and the making of the natural world. It helped me understand or experience human existence as co-evolving with the nonhuman worlds. “The current unsustainability of the world is obliging us to face the challenge of how to live differently on the planet with others. The new mode of humanity must be based upon connections rather than separations, interdependence rather than autonomy. In the process of making, I was thinking about these words and I was thinking that in fact the connections between humans and nonhumans come from a shared identity which is substantive—we are made from the same matter—rather than metaphorical. So I think that making and working with materials brings this awareness and this experience of how we share matter. “For the sustainability project, I see that the wider value of both creative making in general and places like Penland in particular has gone beyond individual satisfaction. I see places like Penland as an adventure in living one of those possibilities where a different mode of humanity can be crafted. It is a community that, while experimenting with new processes and materials, experiments with new ways of living and being in the world together, of crafting futures.” –Robin Dreyer 24 Penland School of Crafts Annual Report, May 2013 – April 2014 OTHER GIFTS

Elaine Bleakney DONOR PROFILE: ROBIN HANES ROBIN HANES GOT HER FIRST CAMERA as a gift from her brother when she graduated from high school. Minolta in hand, she spent part of the summer of 1973 at Penland taking a photography workshop taught by Betty Hahn. “It did kind of change my life,” Robin says. “There was a range of experience and age in the class, and a spirit of exploration, sharing, and discovery.” After her first experience as a young woman at Penland, Robin attended St. John’s College in New Mexico, eventually returning to her home state of North Carolina to pursue a degree at UNC Chapel Hill. She switched majors a few times, finally finding her ground in painting. Her love of the North Carolina mountains and art kept her tied to Asheville, and connected to Penland, where she returned to take a drawing class with Mary Ann Zotto in 2004. “I was happy to find Penland still operating in the same spirit,” she says. As a painter and a registered art therapist, Hanes has long observed the varying environments in which art is taught. She notes the tendency of some artists to withhold techniques and Robin Hanes with her son, guard their processes. “Penland is the opposite. It’s about openness and sharing—an Emmett McGregor unusually positive place for learning,” she says. Hanes’s positive experiences in the arts also nurtured the paths of her two sons, both filmmakers. One son, Emmett McGregor of Asheville, has taken two Penland workshops. Penland’s committed positive atmosphere and the creation of a new studio for drawing and painting led Robin Hanes to create the Lasater Drawing and Painting Scholarship in memory of her mother, Barbara. “I wanted to strengthen the drawing and painting opportunities at Penland,” she says, “and invite people of diverse economic backgrounds to get there.” “I come from a generous family,” she adds. “My mother’s side is the quieter one, so I’m excited to have her last name on this.” Robin pauses, and notes that, in the wider world, too many people have negative experiences in art classes. “Penland is inspiring,” she says. “It’s my pleasure to encourage others to find it.” –Elaine Bleakney

Jonathan Branch SCHOLARSHIP STUDENTS: JOE O’BRIEN AND LORING TAOKA IN THE SUMMER OF 2013, two metalsmiths received the Collins, Evans, Massey Scholarship: Joe O’Brien and Loring Taoka. The summer scholarship is endowed in honor of Clyde and Dot Collins, Lisbeth Evans, and Bill Massey—all long-term supporters of Penland. Joe, who hails from Naperville, Illinois, took Shawn Decker’s workshop, Sound & Light for Things. In reflecting on his experience, Joe said: “Over my two weeks here, I have been surrounded by people who are at the forefront of their fields and experts in their media. The energy and inspiration at Penland is contagious, seeing the work that my fellow students and instructors produce catalyzes my own creative process. By far the most amazing part of my time here has been encountering so many people who are so willing to share information, be it technical skills, ideas, opinions, or experience.” Loring, whose brooches and other jewelry pieces can be found in the Penland Joe O’Brien, who received the Collins, Gallery, used his scholarship award to take Arthur Hash’s metal class focusing on com- Evans, Massey Scholarship to take a bining fabrication methods and enameling. metals workshop with Shawn Decker. “Working with Arthur Hash is a transformative experience—he has the ability to push the way people conceptualize their work in an environment that is inclusive and critical.

54 Penland School of Crafts Annual Report, May 2013 – April 2014 VOLUNTEERS

VOLUNTEER PROFILE: JASON BIGE BURNETT CERAMIST JASON BIGE BURNETT SIPS FROM A MUG on a break from teaching in Penland’s clay studio. This is not just any mug: Dolly Parton cuddles a kitten front and center. Flowers bedeck her bouffant. Fellow ceramist Justin Rothshank made the screenprinted mug for Jason, who may be the biggest Dolly Parton fan in western North Carolina—and possibly beyond. “She wasn’t actually the best singer in her family,” he tells me, “but she was the one who made it.” Jason has made it, too: he’s an established artist whose new book, Graphic Clay: Ceramic Surfaces & Printed Image Transfer Techniques was just published by Lark Books. He and his husband, Michael, lived for several years in Bakersville, NC. They moved recently when Jason was hired as the program and studios manager at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts—Penland's sister school in Gatlinburg, Tennessee (which happens to be the seat of Dolly Parton’s empire). It’s all a long way from Louisville and his days at Western Kentucky University, where Jason navigated the art program, determined to discover his route as an artist, while at the same time processing the varied forms of discrimination he confronted as a young gay man. In 2007, Jason took his first Penland workshop and was hooked. He returned in 2008 to take a figurative sculpture workshop with Arthur González. “At Penland I was allowed to be vulnerable,” says Jason, “to try things. It wasn’t like academia, where you defend and defend. My time at Penland encouraged curiosity and discovery. I could just be in the medium, rather than defending why I was in it.” Penland instructor and volunteer Jason During that workshop, he also met Christina Córdova, and her care and thought- Bige Burnett in the clay studio with the fulness, in addition to her work, affected him deeply. By the end of the session, Jason Dolly Parton mug made by his friend had applied to—and would eventually receive—the Penland core fellowship, which he Justin Rothshank. started while he was still finishing his B.A. from Western Kentucky. Since his time as a core student, Jason has been an active and visible member of the Penland community: he has taught two workshops, he volunteers at the annual benefit auction and the community open house, and he’s a natural ambassador—a Dolly-level promoter of the school. “When I’m talking with others about Penland I’m not just talking about programs,” he says, “but the place. I meet people in clay, my generation and younger, who are yearning. ‘Why don’t you just move down there?’ is what I say.” Jason’s also been active in Penland’s official ambassador program, which recruits students and instructors to make presentations about Penland at other institutions. He’s done several of these, and he also talks about Penland at conferences, at shows, on the street, anywhere he happens to be. Like the great, bouncy, intelligent Dolly, his generosity draws others to ask questions about their lives, and follow creative paths— if that’s their thing. To quote Dolly herself: “The magic is inside you. There ain’t no crystal ball.” –Elaine Bleakney
