I was a student at Penland summer of 2017 and 2019. I was provided a work study scholarship which made it possible to attend. I love it there! The atmosphere (social as well as natural). The Instructors and students are all focused on their craft and are interested in other's craft as well. The instructors are friendly and gifted and willing to share their interests ad skills. The studios are kept neat and clean and are well-supplied. Their new building is beautiful and makes it possible for large group activities.

We visited Penland and the Penland Gallary in April 2018. It was amazing! The school is beautiful and everyone was friendly. The facilities, equipment, instructors and gallery were top tier. The Penland Gallery highlighted many talented artists. I bought a pair of beautiful earrings and they are my very favorite!

I had a chance to visit Penland for their annual benefit auction. This is a magical place. Even if you visit outside of an auction, I'm sure you'll find it a great visit if you love art. Their gallery spaces are superb, and the people here are very friendly. The campus is situated on a mountaintop slope with unique buildings scattered throughout - it's beautiful, idyllic.nnPenland offers classes at various times of the year, which I'm hoping to take advantage of in 2016. Perhaps the best recommendation comment I can provide is that Penland inspired me to pick up my paintbrushes again after I set them aside for nearly a decade. And, I hope to be a supporter of this inspiring place for many decades to come. If you're traveling the Blue Ridge and have a love for art, I recommend a visit. Be sure to pack an extra bag, though. If you're like me, you won't be able to resist leaving with a piece of Penland to add to your collection!

I came for a SPE conference and had a wonderful time enjoying the scenery and learning environment. The staff were friendly and the housing and food were good. Defiantly trying to come again!

A spectacular school with a great history. Crafts spoken here. Really well equipped studios and great teachers under the watchful eyes of Jean McLaughlin.
