ReCap

As I am officially done taking classes at Penland until the Winter, I thought it might be interesting to make a list of all the classes I have taken while being a student here. I could write about each of these teachers, but it would not do them justice. I am thankful to each of them for their willingness to share information that has taken them a lifetime to accumulate.

Clarence Morgan- Painting: Color, Repetition
Brian Boggs- Hand Tools: Sharpening, Use, Design
Ledelle Moe- Armatures and Skins
Susan Halls- Animal Sculpture: Anatomy, Material
Jay Burnham Kidwell- Blacksmithing
Tom Spleth- Slipcasting and Moldmaking
Yuri Kobayashi- Joinery: Wood
Phil Renato- Plastics: Casting + Moldmaking, Rapid Prototyping, Fabrication
Jo Whaley- Photography: Lighting, Composition
Mark Gardner and Stoney Lamar- Sculptural Wood Carving

Now, a week off to get things together for the Core Show in October. And in the fall an independent study with Tom Spleth.

Photo of the Week

Photo of the Week on the Penland website. Examine it here. The model is Mr. Russ Fega, who is an awesome dude, and also has a great scene in the new movie "Inception" starring Leonardo DiCaprio. I saw it today. My review: totally righteous.
