Many of you have been with us from the start and have helped grow the auction into one of the premier collecting events in the Southeast. Your dedication is remarkable. We also extend a special welcome to our friends with the Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass. Whether it is your thirtieth auction or your first—or somewhere in between—thank you for being here to celebrate this milestone year. Your participation in the auction directly impacts Penland’s ability to help so many people live creative lives. We are grateful to each of you and to the many artists and volunteers who make this weekend possible. This year 247 current and former Penland instructors, residents, and core fellows have generously shared their art for the occasion. More than 200 volunteers have traveled from around the country to give their time and energy to manage this finely-tuned event. Our ability to offer innovative and challenging classes to more than 1,400 artists each year is directly linked to your generosity. A highlight of this year’s auction is the recognition of Penland’s 2015 Outstanding Artist Educator, Stoney Lamar. An exceptional sculptor and mentor, Stoney has lectured and taught numerous workshops and exhibited throughout the country. He has given freely of himself to organizations that support artists—as a board member of the American Craft Council, as president of the Southern Highlands Handicraft Guild, as a founding member of the Association of American Woodturners, and as president of the Center for Craft, Creativity & Design. Penland is honored to be able to recognize such a good friend to the field of craft. Let’s have some fun! Please enjoy the beauty of the lush landscape, the camaraderie of old friends and new acquaintances, and the remarkable art on display. We hope you will bid enthusiastically, knowing that you are helping Penland continue to thrive. WELCOME DEAR FRIENDS OF PENLAND, Sincerely, Jean W. McLaughlin John Garrou DirectorChair Australian ceramic artist Greg Daly demonstrating in the clay studio.

To celebrate your generous support, you are invited to the following events on Friday, August 7. During the Director’s Luncheon, we will pay tribute to long-time friend and supporter Bobby Kadis. The work we will auction during the luncheon is one of Bobby’s favorite pieces. LUCY MORGAN LEADERS LUCY MORGAN LEADERS Bobby Kadis, Vase, porcelain, 8 ¾ x 4 ¼ inches, retail value: $100 “This piece was made in a class with Sam Chung. Sam has a unique way of using patterns to construct any conceivable form. The vase was made from a sketch that attempted to create a form by hand that could not be reproduced on the potter’s wheel.” Penland Gallery Reception 10:00 – 11:30 AM Join us to view a special collection of contemporary jewelry and a collection of major works by Penland artists in Gallery North (the temporary location of the Penland Gallery) and in the books studio.

Stoney is a kind, generous, plain-spoken man who has taught at Penland and Arrowmont (TN), demonstrated for the American Association of Woodturners, and lectured at the Yale University Art Gallery (CT), the Renwick Gallery (DC), and the Arkansas Art Center. Stoney attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for a short time before leaving for two years of service as a conscientious objector to the Vietnam War. He later attended the University of North Carolina at Asheville and then Appalachian State University, where he graduated in 1979 with a B.S. in Industrial Arts. In the mid-1980s he began working on a lathe, which allowed him to make the work he is known for today. His work is in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum (London), the Renwick Gallery (DC), and the Museum of Arts and Design (NYC). He was recently honored with a career retrospective at the Asheville Art Museum (NC). He has received a lifetime achievement award from the Collectors of Wood Art and has served on the boards of the American Craft Council, the Southern Highlands Craft Guild, Handmade in America, and the Center for Craft, Creativity & Design. He is also a founder of the Association of American Woodturners. Stoney’s friend Andrew Glasgow, the retired executive director of the American Craft Council, wrote this appreciation: 10 Stoney Lamar, woodturner, sculptor, innovator, teacher, and supporter of the field, will be honored this year as Penland’s Outstanding Artist Educator. Stoney is one of the most profi- 2015 OUTSTANDING ARTIST EDUCATOR cient artists using multi-axis woodturning, creating work that has evolved constantly, both in complexity and scale. His recent retrospective exhibition at the Asheville Art Museum covered his career from the 1980s to the present, ranging from small, exquisitely crafted works to his most recent pieces, carved with chainsaws and chisels, most of them incorporating steel, some standing eight or nine feet tall. In 2009, Stoney faced a new challenge when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. His response to this news was classic Stoney: yes, he got treatment, yes, he was worried, but mostly he kept working. In fact, with a couple of new assistants, he began exploring larger scale objects and larger groups of objects—the most ambitious work he had ever attempted. The chainsaw became more important, and he even used his tremors to rock the saw back and forth quickly for surface decoration. His work became larger, more sophisticated, and more technical. Stoney has an extraordinary attitude towards learning, and he has long taught workshops in various schools around the country. He has changed the lives of many woodturners with his unusual practice and his generous spirit. He has been a good and generous friend to Penland and the western region of North Carolina, as well as an ambassador for craft and sculpture. He richly deserves the recognition as Penland’s 2015 Outstanding Artist Educator.

This piece is a supreme example of an ongoing body of work that uses sewn glass to create sculptures based on traditional domestic skills. As Susan explains in her artist statement, “Somehow I embraced domesticity in feminine spirit but not in action. And, of course, I feel guilty about not being a good wife. Misguided domestic talents eventually grew into concepts of sewing an unyielding medium, baking inedible creations, and stitching glass clothing no one can wear. Housekeeping is last, while instead I cook, arrange, and sew glass.” In conjunction with this auction, fiber artist and Penland instructor Jo Stealey wrote about Glasgow’s work: “Susan Taylor Glasgow re-examines the utopian concept of ‘domestic bliss’ and the ‘complex dichotomy of women’s roles within the household’ in the 1950s United States through the lens of twenty-first century feminism. Her work comments on history as much as on today’s nostalgia for a flawed but fetishized past. Her sculptures are three-dimensional glass and mixed media collages. They are often embedded with advertising text and imagery appropriated from magazines, movies, and media-related memorabilia, which highlight the domestic standards of the time. “Glasgow started her creative career as an independent clothing designer and seamstress before delving into work with the slumped, sewn glass that has become the hallmark of her oeuvre. She says of her glass fashion: ‘I have always seen a similarity between glass and fabric. I am attracted to the fluid nature and transparency of both materials. I work with glass in the same way I would with fabric. Imagining how the glass will drape and flatter the form, I select color, components, and sometimes text to create a mood or narrative. I enjoy incorporating feminine ideals and skills to a material that is hard and unyielding yet seductive at the same time.’” Born in Superior, Wisconsin, Susan grew up in Duluth, Minnesota. She graduated from the University of Iowa with a BFA in design. She has been the recipient of numerous awards and residencies including a Pilchuck Glass School emerging artist grant, a Wheaton Arts fellowship, and a Pittsburgh Glass Center residency. Her sculptures are included in the collections of the Arkansas Arts Center in Little Rock, the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung Foundation in Münich, Germany, the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, VA, and the Museum of American Glass in Millville, NJ. She is represented by Heller Gallery in New York City. Susan lives and works in Columbia, Missouri in a 1930s house that she and her husband rescued from demolition. Penland is thrilled to present this spectacular piece of Susan’s work. We are also auctioning a smaller piece of hers, which is Lot 220. 13 HONORING BOBBY KADIS 14 BOBBY KADIS, HONORING A LONG-TIME PENLAND FRIEND Bobby Kadis has been coming to Penland for thirty-eight years—as a student, board member, volunteer, donor, winter resident, and friend to so many. He calls Penland his second home, and we’re honored to have it that way. Recently Carey Hedlund, Penland’s archivist, and Jasmin McFayden, the director’s assistant, had the opportunity to spend an afternoon in conversation with Bobby. We’re using some of his words to shape this tribute. “I was sort of all business, and this Penland experience shook me up.” Bobby discovered clay almost forty years ago on a family trip to a Sunday in the Park festival in Goldsboro. “There was a guy out there on a kick wheel, throwing pots,” he said. “I remember I was really interested in what he was doing. I stood there and watched for a long time, and within a week my wife, Claudia, had signed me up for his pottery class at the arts center in Goldsboro.” In 1978 Bobby came to Penland as a raw beginner—he’d just graduated from pinch pots to the kick wheel. His first class here was taught by Robert Turner, and Bobby had put himself in a position that he recognizes as “far away from anything that I had ever experienced.” “Bob Turner was a philosopher. All he wanted to do was get into your head . . . to make sure you understood what you were making and what you should be thinking about when you do it.” At first, Bobby admits, he was baffled by this new experience and Turner’s teaching style, but he came to recognize and value what Turner was doing: challenging his students to see, to perceive, and to care in new ways. Over the years the two men forged a friendship and shared an ongoing conversation about life and clay. Bobby states quite simply that this first class with Bob Turner—immersive and challenging—changed his life. Since then Bobby has studied with many of the landmark artists of late twentieth century ceramics. In addition to Penland, he has studied clay at a number of universities and arts centers, as well as on retreats to Italy and Chile. He has reached beyond the boundaries of his career as a businessman and commercial real estate developer and has become a maker and artist in his own right. Mercedes Jelinek Designer, educator, goldsmith, jeweler. Mary Ann Scherr’s career and accomplishments are as storied as they are remarkable—from automobile to toy design, fashion design to book illustration, plastic product designer to internationally-recognized goldsmith. In 1969 Mary Ann was the sole American designer chosen for the first Bloomingdales international jewelry exhibition. The work Mary Ann placed in the Bloomingdales event included Neck-Lace, a five-inch high neck cuff of 14k gold surrounded by fifty Harry Winston diamonds. Mary Ann has a long history with Penland School of Crafts, having taught regularly at the school over a forty-year period. She served as a trustee, and in 2008 she was honored as a Penland Outstanding Artist Educator. Seeing the piece in the Penland Gallery in 2014, Glenn Adamson, the Nanette L. Laitman Director of the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) in New York City, expressed a desire to add Neck-Lace, which is valued at $60,000, to the museum’s collection. Mary Ann agreed to let Penland School facilitate placing the piece with MAD. Former Penland trustees Glen Hardymon and Laura Taft Paulsen have worked with a group of donors to raise the funds needed to purchase the piece and donate it to the museum. A portion of the funds raised will go to the artist; the balance will go to Penland. Together, Penland School and the Museum of Arts and Design will pay tribute to this important American designer and craftsperson by making Neck-Lace a part of MAD’s renowned jewelry collection, allowing artists and the public to study and appreciate this historic work for years to come. Before it travels to New York, however, you will have a chance to study it yourself, as it will be on display during the weekend along with the bracelet that Mary Ann has donated to the auction. Thanks to Mary Ann Scherr, Glenn Adamson, Glen and Florence Hardymon, Laura Taft Paulsen, and all who contributed to making this partnership possible. MARY ANN SCHERR’S NECK-LACE MARY ANN SCHERR’S NECK-LACE AND THE MUSEUM OF ARTS AND DESIGN Please see Gold Clover Bracelet, which is Lot 437, donated to the 2015 benefit auction by Mary Ann Scherr. 15 FUND-A-NEED FUND-A-NEED Fund-A-Need invites your direct support during the auction weekend for important and timely needs on the Penland campus. “Bill Brown asked me to ring the bell on people I knew in the profession and start dragging them in to teach. I’d call talented professionals and convince them that Penland was a wonderful place to teach and to hardly get paid! I would tell them in all honesty, if you come once, you’re going to want to come back. We got some heavy hitters to teach at Penland—Aaron Siskind, Jerry Uelsmann—it was amazing.” Evon Streetman 16 Penland’s first recorded photography workshop was held in 1952 for ten students. While photography classes were offered sporadically after that, it was not until 1966 that Penland’s photography program became firmly established under the guidance of Evon Streetman. Evon’s good humor, talent, and love of teaching drew extraordinary instructors and students from across the country to work together at Penland. Penland’s photography studio has lived in makeshift spaces on campus since that time. Despite inadequate conditions, photographers from all over the United States have led excellent and varied workshops that have enhanced the reputation of Penland’s photo program. Soon the days of working in a basement without adequate electrical wiring or ventilation—a space that floods during heavy rainstorms—will give way to working in a new studio designed to support an evolving field. Penland’s photography program will grow to encompass ever-changing digital technologies, studio lighting, video, and moving images, while remaining a leader in historic, traditional, and alternative processes. The new studio has been designed by RATIO Architects for maximum flexibility. The new space addresses dehumidification, ventilation, and dust-free requirements, as well as adequate storage for chemicals, equipment, and tools and a shooting studio that can be used with natural, artificial, or mixed lighting. The new space is designed for twelve students and, with the addition of lighting and digital workspaces, expands the size of the work- FUND-A-NEED space from the current 1782 square feet to 4450 square feet in the new studio. The future of photography at Penland offers remarkable opportunities for cross-disciplinary dialogue as other studios incorporate photographic images into media such as textiles, ceramics, printmaking, and metals. The photography studio is projected to cost $1,295,000. Construction is planned to begin in 2017. This year’s Fund-A-Need will raise money to cover the furnishings and equipment for the new studio, which include the following: Darkroom equipment: $27,350 Enlargers, timers, lenses, trays, tongs, loupes, tanks, reels, print washer, film washer and dryer Digital Area: $29,250 Printers, computers, scanners, digital projector, large flat-screen monitor Shooting Studio: $29,750 Specialty lights, light panels, color-blending light kits, stands, boom light, a soft box, background support systems, tripods, diffusion materials, gels, blackout curtains, view cameras and lenses Support for Time-Based Work: $7,650 Recorder, microphones, steady cam, sound system, dolly, GoPro camera, on-camera monitor Furniture: $26,000 Work tables, chairs, stools, light tables, lighting, matting and copying systems Total: $120,000 During Saturday’s live auction, we invite you to raise your paddle to support the specialized equipment needs of Penland’s new photography studio. Gifts may be made at levels of $10,000, $5,000, $2,500, $1,000, $500, and $250 with a goal of raising $120,000. Thank you for your support. Please raise your paddle on Saturday to contribute generously to the future of photography at Penland. 17 SPECIAL PHOTOGRAPHY PORTFOLIO THE PENLAND AUCTION SPECIAL PHOTOGRAPHY PORTFOLIO Alida Fish created a special section of the Penland auction five years ago specifically to support the photography studio that will be part of the new Northlight complex. So far, over fifty different Penland instructors have generously donated their photographs for this purpose. The artists in this year’s special photography portfolio show just how much contemporary photography integrates the entire timeline of the medium, using the earliest processes as well as the newest technology, sometimes in the very same piece. I’m pleased to say that the new Penland photography studio will be able to accommodate all this and more, and I for one cannot wait to teach there. –Dan Estabrook Lot 237, Dan Estabrook, Moon Study, cut tintypes, 8 x 8H inches. “This piece was made just after the photography Concentration workshop I taught this spring, inspired by the students, the other instructors, and the resident artists at Penland.” Participating Artists David Emitt Adams Dan Bailey Robin Dreyer Dan Estabrook Alida Fish Tony Gaye Ann Hawthorne 18 Lot 301 Lot 206 Lot 118 Lot 237 Lot 224 Lot 405 Lot 334 James Henkel Fritz Hoffmann Monty McCutchen Linda Foard Roberts Brian Taylor Jo Whaley Lot 240 Lot 411 Lot 217 Lot 231 Lot 170 Lot 209 The auction table centerpieces were made by Penland instructor Sally Prasch and will be sold during Saturday lunch.

ASSEMBLE is a curated collection of innovative, contemporary jewelry work by studio artists who are reimagining traditional forms, techniques, and material usage. Ideas take center stage in these works as artists visually translate concepts and tactile elements from contemporary culture into forms for adornment. STUDIO ARTS: a Special Collection of Singular Works will be hosted in a pop-up gallery space in the book arts studio during auction weekend. This collection brings together works in glass, wood, clay, and print media. Exhibiting artists include our 2015 honored artist educator Stoney Lamar and our 2015 auction featured artist Susan Taylor Glasgow. The Penland Gallery is honored to work with a roster of visionary and historically-significant artists, artists working across disciplines, artists challenging forms of creative expression, and artists creating exquisite objects of use. For 2015, the gallery will share these works with our auction patrons in our creatively re-purposed spaces, and we invite all to return in 2016 when the new spaces at Horner Hall will be filled with stellar works again. Anne Lemanski, Woodpecker, archival pigment print on panel, 54H x 41H x 1I inches. This is one of the works that will be featured in the Penland Gallery during this auction weekend. 20 GALLERY AND VISITORS CENTER THE PENLAND GALLERY AND VISITORS CENTER: THE FUTURE The Penland Gallery and Visitors Center is one of the finest showcases for contemporary craft in the Southeast. Attracting about 10,000 visitors each year, the gallery exhibits and sells work by current and former Penland instructors, resident artists, and former students from around the country. A knowledgeable staff provides information about craft processes, the school’s programs, the artists, and studios in the area. The gallery is housed in Horner Hall, a historic building undergoing a major renovation in 2015. Architect Dail Dixon has designed the renovation to both enhance the visitor experience and provide for exceptional exhibitions of contemporary craft. Expanded exhibition spaces, sales galleries, and an educational visitors center gallery will provide a remarkable destination for visitors to Penland School and the surrounding arts community. NEW EXHIBITION SPACE The 1,500 square foot exhibition space being added to Horner Hall will mirror, architecturally, our practice of honoring tradition and expanding boundaries. The gallery addition is nearly double the size of the former exhibition gallery, increasing the potential scale and scope of the work shown and allowing the gallery to expand its exhibition concepts. The restriction of ceiling height, both literal and figurative, has been removed. This new environment creates an opportunity to program exhibitions that will challenge people’s ideas about what craft is, how materials are used, and how artists influence and inspire each other. Four invitational exhibitions are planned annually, responding to a conceptual matrix based on the tenets of Penland’s studio programs and the school’s mission. These are the four cornerstones of this matrix: expanding definitions, skill/mastery, influence/interaction, idea/vision. A curatorial team will program a range of single-artist and group exhibitions featuring established and emerging artists and reflecting both current Penland programs and a broader view of contemporary art. 21 GALLERY AND VISITORS CENTER ADDITIONAL GALLERIES The Focus Gallery space will be used primarily for single-artist exhibitions. This gallery is programmed to highlight a range of craft media and to encourage sales for the individual artists. These exhibitions will favor functional or decorative works. The renovation will create a living history visitor gallery, which will define history as everything that has taken place before today. This will be a fluid space where we can exhibit historic objects alongside contemporary pieces, providing context for both. We will incorporate texts, images, objects, and stories from Lucy Morgan's time to the present. The video gallery is an important component of the visitors center, providing space for small groups to watch the video Postcard from Penland or to choose from a menu of media-specific videos. The video gallery will be used as an educational prelude to tours, for groups with mobility issues, and for off-season visitors. Our sales gallery spaces are curated by gallery staff who choose work that reflects what is currently happening in both the teaching studios at Penland and in artist’s studios across the country. Sales gallery artists have a Penland affiliation, either as teachers, students, or resident artists. There is a curatorial and aesthetic approach to displaying work in these spaces, providing a sales gallery that represents a broad range of materials and techniques through conceptual, decorative, and functional work. SCULPTURE AND INSTALLATION A new sculpture garden will be located in the north entrance to the Penland Gallery and Visitors Center. It will be a pivotal intersection space between the historic Horner Hall and the new exhibition gallery. The garden is an entrance, a gathering space, and a location for temporary installations and large-scale sculptural works. 22 UPCOMING PROGRAMMING The Penland Gallery and Visitors Center is currently operating in a temporary space in the center of campus. It will re-open in Horner Hall in March 2016, with an outstanding schedule, including a solo exhibition of Cristina Córdova’s figurative sculpture, Wendy Maruyama’s The wildLIFE Project traveling from the Houston Center for Contemporary Crafts, an exhibition examining the contemporary use of historic photographic processes curated by Dan Estabrook, a three-artist exhibition including the ceramic work of Kensuke Yamada, and four Focus Gallery exhibitions. All exhibitions will be available for viewing and purchase online. GALLERY AND VISITORS CENTER Two spaces for temporary installations are located in conjunction with our new exhibition space. Installations will be created by artists whose studio practice includes site-specific installation work. This is an opportunity for emerging artists to build experience and encourage conversation about their concept and process. For more established artists, it will be an invaluable space for experimenting with new concepts or materials. The south lawn will include a location for sculpture that will serve as a welcoming landmark for visitors and arriving students and instructors and create a distinctive entryway into the school. The sculpture will provide context for what visitors will find inside the building and will signal entry into a creative community. Wendy Maruyama, Satao, wood, string, paint, 102 x 45 x 25 inches. This piece is from The wildLIFE Project, which will travel from the Houston Center for Contemporary Crafts to the Penland Gallery in 2016. Wendy Maruyama will be the featured artist for the 2016 Annual Benefit Auction. 23 THANKS 24 OUR GRATEFUL THANKS GO TO THE FOLLOWING: The artists who make Penland what it is.
