 Annual Community Open House The Community Open House is an annual event that opens the doors to Penland’s studios to between 350 and 500 adults and children from Mitchell County and beyond, engaging them in free, quality hands-on studio experiences. The Community Open House also offers information about Penland's community education programs and our Stand-by Reduced Tuition program. Each year, over 100 artist volunteers from the surrounding community make this day possible by helping visitors with the hands-on activities in the studios. Activities have included making glass beads, rollerprinting copper bracelets, creating clay sculptures, screenprinting on bandanas, papermaking, forging garden stakes, painting colorful pastepaper, blowing glass cups or paperweights, making photographic “sun prints”, assembling wooden birdhouses, making souvenir books, and more. Dozens of Penland staffmembers are involved in making the day a success.
The 2012 Penland School of Crafts community open house will be on Saturday, March 3, from 1-5 pm.
2011 Community Open House The 2011 Penland School of Crafts community open house took place on Saturday, March 5. Despite persistent rain, the event attracted about 450 enthusiastic participants.
