I felt so fortunate to be invited to participate in Pentaculum 2018 at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts. This weeklong experience was attended by 80 artists and writers, all making or doing their own work in 6 shared studio locations: Fiber, Ceramics, Metal, 2-D, Wood, and Writing. It reminded me of being back in school, but in the very best ways. Here are general photos from the facilities and studios. My personal piece was discussed in a previous blog post.
