It is our pleasure to welcome new and returning friends to an exciting weekend at
Penland. The 29th Penland Annual Benefit Auction continues the tradition of gathering
hundreds of artists, collectors, and craft enthusiasts to celebrate Penland and their love of
craft and to support craft education.
We are deeply grateful for the support you provide for our programs through this
event. Together, we educate over 1,400 students each year. You help us provide financial
assistance to 50 percent of our students, keep our studios in peak condition, and bring
exceptional instructors to Penland. With your help, we give artists an experience outside
their everyday lives and help them find new expression and inspiration.
The spirit of generosity among donating artists, auction volunteers, and auction
patrons strengthens our institution. Each contributing artist has either taught or been
a resident artist or core fellow—each has given time and talent to insure that Penland
thrives. Over 200 auction volunteers take time away from their busy lives to help us
create a magical event. Our auction patrons recognize the beauty and power of the work
and delight in the camaraderie of generous bidding.
This year we honor Dolph Smith as Penland’s 2014 Outstanding Artist Educator.
Dolph has taught at Penland since 1986. He has received the Spirit of Tennessee
Distinguished Service Award and awards from the Tennessee Artist Guild, Memphis
College of Art (TN), and the Arts and the Germantown Arts Alliance (TN). Penland is
honored to join these distinguished institutions in recognizing Dolph’s achievements.
We are also pleased to bring you this year’s featured work—Gong Cocktail Service
by Julia Woodman, and Black Reticello Martini Goblets by Kenny Pieper. Our excitement
about the piece inspired the weekend’s signature cocktail, created by chef Nate Allen of
Knife and Fork Restaurant in Spruce Pine. Be sure to sample this special offering!
Enjoy the weekend with all the fellowship, art, and natural beauty we have to offer.
You enrich each of us by being here and supporting our efforts to make the arts an integral part of our lives. We thank you for the central role you play in supporting Penland.
Sincerely,
Jean W. McLaughlin Rob Pulleyn

2014 OUTSTANDING ARTIST EDUCATOR
Dolph Smith, 2014 Outstanding Artist Educator
During the weekend we will honor Dolph Smith,
the 2014 Penland School of Crafts Outstanding
Artist Educator. Dolph Smith is professor emeritus
from the Memphis College of Art where he taught
drawing and painting. While there, he developed a
curriculum in hand papermaking and began an artist’s book program, The Flying Vat, which is now
one of the premier centers for hand papermaking.
His honors include the Arts and Humanities Medal
for Lifetime Achievement from the Germantown
Arts Council and he is the only individual winner
of a First Bravo Award presented by First Tennessee
Bank. In 2004, Memphis College of Art granted to
Dolph the degree of Honorary Doctor of Fine Arts.
He has also received Tennessee’s highest honor in
the arts, the 2011 Governor’s Arts Award in the
Distinguished Artist Award category.
Penland’s gallery director Kathryn Gremley, who
has known Dolph for years and worked closely with
him on recent exhibition, wrote this appreciation.
Artist, educator, mentor, rascal; no truer words could describe Dolph Smith, the 2014
Penland Outstanding Artist Educator. Dolph Smith first came to teach at Penland in
1986, beginning a twenty-eight year friendship-relationship with the school.
What is most obvious to those who have had the privilege to spend time in the
classroom or studio with Dolph—but not overlooked by those of us who have not

been so fortunate—is that
Dolph has an infectious love
of teaching, materials, people, sharing knowledge, and
unadulterated fun. He gives
freely and receives warmly.
As a result, he has created ripples in the creative
pond that extend far beyond
Penland and other teaching
moments. It is this rare breed of instructor that we at Penland seek to honor and hope
to rub elbows with as often as possible.
In 2010, the Penland Gallery hosted the exhibition Artist, Educator, Mentor, Rascal:
Dolph Smith and Friends, to celebrate the connections Dolph has made through his many
years of being an educator and mentor. With Dolph’s input, we winnowed the mighty
list down to thirteen artists with whom he was excited to share the exhibit space and
the ongoing conversation about book arts. Each artist responded swiftly to our invitation—with a resounding and universal “yes, of course.” He has that effect on everyone.
The resulting exhibition was remarkable in the breadth of work, skill, insight, and
innovation.
Although Dolph’s work is rooted in the book arts, he has taken liberties with
the rules—the pages take flight, the covers build bridges and roll around now and
then. He is a gifted storyteller, both on paper and in person. There is a circle created
between the book as object, the book as text, the man as storyteller, and the sound of
his gentle voice. His books are participatory, multi-material, and with or without the
words or pages we expect. His work inspires other artists to take their fancy seriously,
so to speak.

FEATURED ARTWORK
Featured Artwork
Lot 429, Julia Woodman and Kenny Pieper, Gong Cocktail Service and Black Reticello Martini
Goblets, sterling silver, purpleheart wood, shakudo, fine silver, blown glass;
shaker: 8 x 6 inches; tray: 1H x 16 inches; goblets: 6 x 4 inches, retail value: $40,000
Our featured piece this year combines the work of two master craft artists with
long-standing ties to Penland School of Crafts. Kenny Pieper and Julia Woodman have
both been instructors and both received significant parts of their craft education at
Penland. Their combined efforts have produced the stunning Gong Cocktail Service, and the
set of Black Reticello Martini Goblets.
Julia Woodman didn’t begin studying metalsmithing until the middle of her life. Much
of her early training in craft took the form of summer workshops at Penland. It was at
Penland that she met her mentor, silversmith Heiiki Seppa. In 1997, she was awarded a
Fulbright Scholarship to study silversmithing at the Lahti Polytechnic Institute of Design
in Finland. And in 2000, she became the first American to complete the Finnish master
silversmith diploma.
Julia’s work has been exhibited at Tiffany & Company in New York and Goldsmiths’
Hall in London. It can be found in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in
London, the High Museum in Atlanta, and the Cathedral of St. Phillip and Temple Sinai,
also in Atlanta.
Julia’s work is functional; much of it is tableware. In a recent artist’s statement she
explains her attraction to these forms: “At an early age, in the mountains of Western
North Carolina, I learned that the presentation of delicious food was as important as its
salivary pleasures. To this end I have designed serving pieces made to enhance the presentation of food by linking it with an object d’art. My vision is that the table becomes a
Woodman’s work is stunning and impressive, from a tea service in the permanent
collection of the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, to serving cutlery and flatware,
to a variety of liturgical pieces commissioned by churches and synagogues. Always
consistent in her work is her design aesthetic, which she describes as “simple
unique lines, which are usually organic, but not complicated, very simple, fluid
lines, sort of like the flow of oil.”
The spectacular cocktail service created for the 2014 Penland Benefit Auction is
an accumulation of a lifetime of knowledge, travel, and mastery. The shape of the
tray comes from a gong Julia spotted on a Penland group trip to Japan in 2012,
the elegant card-weaving comes from the Vikings of Norway, the purpleheart
wood from the tropics of South America, and the mechanism of the cocktail shaker is based on a strange looking German teapot she remembered a friend using in
the 1970s.
Glassblower Kenny Pieper was asked to make the perfect set of goblets to complement
Julia’s amazing piece. You can read about Kenny on the next page.

gallery for sculptural pieces that can be used functionally—delighting the eye as well as
the palate.”
Mindy Spritz, design teacher at the Art Institute of Atlanta, wrote these words about
Julia’s work and the cocktail service:
FEATURED ARTWORK
Kenny Pieper grew up near Penland and began taking workshops—first in clay and
then in glass—when he was in high school. His most important glass teacher at Penland
was Richard Ritter, another close neighbor of the school. Kenny received his B.F.A.
from California College of Art and Design and then spent sixteen years working as a
glassblower in the San Francisco Bay area. His career came full circle when he moved
back to North Carolina, working as Penland’s glass studio coordinator while he built
his own studio in Yancey County. His work has been widely exhibited and is in the collections of the Corning Museum of Glass in New York, The New Orleans Museum of
Art, and the Asheville Art Museum in North Carolina. His neighbor and glassblowing
colleague Rob Levin describes Kenny’s work this way:
Kenny Pieper has long been interested in traditional Italian glassblowing techniques. While he’s become part of the continuum of that tradition, he has also
clearly added his own voice to it, bringing something new and vibrant to the
mix. He likes things that are well-made and has gravitated toward pieces that are
difficult to make, always challenging himself. Kenny’s goblets are a good example. Few people can make these kinds of goblets. They demand a great facility
with hot glass—the techniques are immediate and fast, needing perfect timing
in the ‘dance’ of the teamwork between artist and assistant. As those of us who
have made goblets over the years can attest, there are endless variations among
the three components—vessel, stem, and foot—and finding the right balance
can often be challenging. Kenny has not only mastered the techniques, but has
melded them with his innate sense of form and design.
Part of Kenny’s design sense involves his use of color, and he has continued a
long Penland tradition of formulating and melting his own colored glass. The
black and clear reticello pattern used in the goblets for the auction piece wonderfully echoes Julia Woodman’s use of silver and dark wood. His series of
“Goblet Studies,” which present a large grouping of goblets, all with slight variations, displayed against a white background, show off his sense of both color and
form. They take the functional goblet into a different realm, posing the question:
Is it art ...or craft... or does it matter? What ultimately matters is to see an artist and teacher who has come so far by combining hard work and determination
with a natural sense of form and the love of the material.
Inspired by the cocktail set that is featured this
year, the Penland staff asked chef Nate Allen to
create a special Penland cocktail for the auction.
Nate is co-owner of the Knife and Fork restaurant and the recently opened Spoon bar, both
in Spruce Pine. Our special cocktail, called the
Penland Hummingbird, is a delightfully refreshing mixture of gin, maraschino, fresh lemon
juice, and an infusion of bee balm, a fragrant,
edible flower that blooms in mid-summer and
is strongly attractive to hummingbirds and bees.
For this cocktail, Nate favors North Carolina’s
own Cardinal gin, and the folks at Cardinal
have contributed a generous supply for our
Hummingbirds. The cocktail will be served at
the bar during the Friday silent auction and at the
tables during the Saturday live auction—around
the time the cocktail set comes up for bid.
If you would like to make the Penland Hummingbird at home,
here is the recipe.
The Penland Hummingbird
1H oz. Cardinal gin
H oz. Luxardo maraschino
Juice of H lemon
1 tsp. bee balm water
Shake all ingredients with ice (preferably in a handmade silver shaker) and strain into a
chilled cocktail glass (preferably handblown).
Bee balm water
Place one cup of bee balm petals in a quart jar and cover with cold water. Steep in refrigerator for 24 hours then strain and keep refrigerated for up to two weeks. Depending on
the time of year, this drink can also be made with honeysuckle water.

SPECIAL PHOTOGRAPHY PORTFOLIO
The Penland Auction Special Photography Portfolio
Penland School is currently planning a new photography studio that will allow the school’s
photo program to teach contemporary image making using photographic techniques that
span the history of the medium, from daguerreotypes to digital. As part of the fundraising
for this project, photographer, instructor, and trustee Alida Fish has worked with a
group of past Penland instructors to create a series of special portfolios of photographs,
many of which have ties to the Penland campus or environs. These photographs are being
sold at Penland auctions with the proceeds going toward the new studio.

“For a painter, coordinating all the elements of
this picture would be as easy as drawing them in:
tree goes here, hand below it, cut the horizon line
across the middle, add tons of distance, silhouette the
leaves to bring them into the foreground space of the
hand, mix in sunshine but don’t forget to stir in a
little drama with some dark clouds. When it’s finished
we photographers might say it’s almost as good
as a photograph.”
