Join Forces
Is there strength in numbers? Are two heads better than one? Find out in this team-taught investigation of joined forces and forms. First build skills by creating multiple forms from a range of materials (steel, wood, enamel, resin) and techniques (fabrication, soldering, carving, molding). Then use your forms as building blocks to explore linking systems and conceptual connections. Whether you make wearable art or kinetic objects, the result will be more than the sum of its parts. Open to jewelers and object makers of all levels.
Spring Eight-Week Concentrations:

Spring Studio Assistantships 2015
Studio assistantship applications for fall must be received at Penland by November 28, 2014. Please note that, because of our rural location, overnight parcel services may take two or three days to deliver to Penland.
Studio assistants are students who assist instructors and fellow students and are responsible for maintaining the school’s standards for studio operation. Assistants receive housing and meals, and pay only the $50 nonrefundable processing fee. Assistants are selected based on their knowledge of a working studio. In addition to 25–40 hours of work each week, studio assistants are required to work from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on the day before and the day after their session, and must make travel arrangements which will allow them to meet this requirement. If you cannot meet this requirement, please do not apply.
To apply, check the studio assistant box on the application form, and include a letter explaining your experience in the field and your interest in the class, along with a résumé, two letters of recommendation, five printed images of your work (maximum size 8-1/2 x 11, no slides or CDs), and the $50 processing fee. Applications must be received no later than November 28, and must include letters of reference.
International students note: because the U.S. government considers our studio assistant program to be work for hire, students who are not U.S. citizens may not receive studio assistantships unless they have a work permit.
Many instructors select their own assistants. Check the list below to determine availability of positions before applying.
Studio assistant applications are by mail only
