Scholarship and studio assistantship applications are processed differently, and this year we’ve moved to an online process, so please take a look at the new way to apply. Scholarship applications are due online on Slideroom by February 17.
Apply for a Summer Scholarship or Assistantship.

The summer lottery deadline is February 11. To give a greater number of people a chance to enroll in the most popular classes, applications received by 5:00 PM on February 11 will be placed in a lottery and treated equally regardless of when they were received. (For example, if a workshop has 12 spaces and we receive 15 applications by February 11, we will take all 15 names and randomly select 12 of them.) After February 11, applications will be processed on a first-come/first-served basis. Apply to the Lottery

The print catalog features an image of letterpressed leaves made last summer by former Penland core fellow Beth Schaible. We hope you’ll consider joining us in the studios for experimentation, too.
