We are excited to welcome you to 30th Annual Penland School of Crafts Benefit Auction.
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,

2015 OUTSTANDING ARTIST EDUCATOR
STONEY LAMAR, 2015 OUTSTANDING ARTIST EDUCATOR
During the auction weekend, we will honor Stoney Lamar as our 2015 Outstanding Artist Educator.
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.

FEATURED ARTWORK
FEATURED ARTWORK
12
Lot 429, Susan Taylor Glasgow, Coral Chandelier Dress, fused, slumped, and stitched glass, nylon ribbon, found objects, 72 x 30 x 27 inches, retail value: $25,000
FEATURED ARTWORK
Our featured artwork, specially commissioned for the 30th Penland Benefit Auction, is
the remarkable Coral Chandelier Dress by Susan Taylor Glasgow. 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.

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.

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.

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

GALLERY AND VISITORS CENTER
THE PENLAND GALLERY: AUCTION WEEKEND
During this auction weekend, the Penland Gallery will present ASSEMBLE in Gallery North,
the gallery's current, temporary location. 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.

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
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.

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.
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.

price. Please allow three to six weeks for packing and delivery. Crated items may require additional time for packing and delivery.

Skunk
Tricolor gum bichromate
19H x 13G inches
Retail value: $750
“When my parents died, I received an archive of 25,000
moldy, dusty, and faded photographs. Out of these I
curated 100 to encapsulate the experience of growing up
at the cusp of massive change in family and gender.
Working with these images through more than a decade
and making prints layer by layer using nineteenth century
printing processes allowed me the time to contemplate
and make peace with my family of origin.”
102 Stanley Mace Andersen
Vase
Majolica
11 x 6 inches
Retail value: $300
“I want my pottery to become part of the daily flow of an individual’s domestic life, to
contribute to the enjoyment of preparing, serving, and presenting food. I am concerned with the expression of line, color, patterns, and their
relationship to the pottery forms.”
103 Daniela Antonelli
Untitled
Ink and powder pigment over polyester
16H x 11I inches
Retail value: $1,060
“This piece is made of lines and colored surfaces. I have
been working only with the colors red, blue, and black.
Recently, I incorporated yellow into my vocabulary—
the primary color that was missing. This piece is
the beginning of a new moment.”
32
104 Linda Arbuckle
Long Server: Fall with Green Fruit
Majolica
1H x 18 x 4 inches

111 Lynn Bennett Carpenter
Yellow Center
Colored print, ink, pencil
22 x 16 inches

in a way that echoes textile design strategies.
The nature in this print is left blank and surrounded by colored, hand-drawn elements.”

Grid
Letterpress print on paper; edition of 30
16 x 12 inches
Retail value: $300
“This piece is part of a larger body of work about the

Embroidery on paper

“The embroideries are made on pages from an old children’s book about the creation

and fluctuation.”
36
116 Courtney Dodd
Vortograph Study 2
Self-portrait taken through
handmade glass kaleidoscope;
printed on metal
24 x 16 x I inches
“My work is centered on the idea of seeing and the limits of our perceptions. I am interested
in the psychological and emotional effects of shifting visual phenomena and am exploring this area through the optical ability of glass and
photography to duplicate, reflect, and obscure.”
117 Andrea Donnelly
Dot Grid. Cross DG2.A1-A2
Painted and handwoven rayon
5 x 5I inches
Retail value: $465
“I paint my woven cloth, pull it apart,
and put it back together, allowing the

speaks of its art making.”

Archival pigment print
21H x 28 inches
Retail value: $700

one is 6 x 6 x 5H inches

“One day I found a half of a black walnut.
The nut had split perfectly, exposing a
heart-shaped depression with two openings
leading to the inner chambers. I carried
that nut around with me for a year,
not knowing exactly why. So, to find out
what I found so intriguing about it, I began
to draw it and paint it and ultimately recreate it.”

an expression of bounty.”

Silver Bangle from the Web series
Sterling silver
6 x 6 x 1G inches
Retail value: $800
“This piece came from an experiment with CAD
software and haptic interface hardware, which
allowed for the inflation and iteration of
torus shapes. These shapes were faceted and then
‘webbed.’ Eventually some of them were 3D printed
in wax and then cast in sterling silver. No two
bangles are alike.”

The Board of Trustees extends a heartfelt “thank you” to the Penland Benefit
Auction volunteers for 30 years of service. We couldn’t do this without your
time, dedication and hard work.
Never could enough be said about Bobby Kadis’ dedication and contributions
to Penland School of Crafts. Thank you, Bobby, for 37 years of service and
smiles. Thank you for being a most beloved student, winter resident, trustee,
supporter, and friend. Thank you for being chair of the board from 1999-2000,
co-chairing the Preserve Penland Campaign from 2001-2005, and now serving
on the Council for the Campaign for Penland’s Future. If all this weren’t enough,
we also thank you for the past decade of serving on the Committee on Trustees,
where you have helped to guide Penland’s board in strength and leadership.
I personally want to thank you for the call you made in 1997 encouraging me to
apply for the position I now hold. I would not be at Penland if it weren’t for you.
Thank you for changing my life! –Jean W. McLaughlin
THANK YOU
