Welcome to Penland’s thirty-first annual benefit auction, one of the premier collecting events in the Southeast, and a joyous, fun weekend. Thank you to new and returning friends for joining us in this special, beautiful place to support Penland’s extraordinary programs. With your help, Penland is able to provide educational programs that nurture the individual creativity of thousands of people. Your generosity enables us to offer innovative workshops to over 1,450 students each year. Our thanks go to each of you and to the many artists and volunteers who make this weekend possible. This year 262 current and former Penland instructors, resident artists, and core fellows have created 250 works for the occasion. The success of this event is due in large part to their love for Penland School. More than 200 volunteers will give their time and energy to manage this finely-tuned weekend. We literally could not do it without them. This year we honor Paulus Berensohn as the 2016 Outstanding Artist Educator for his lifetime commitment to teaching. A poet at heart, clay and book artist, and deep ecologist, Paulus nurtures the creative spirit in his many roles as teacher, mentor, and friend. As a long-time neighbor of the school, he reminds us, quietly and constantly, of why the hand and handmade, the natural world around us, and Penland’s community learning experiences are important. We hope you will go home with a new treasure that will enrich your life. However, just by being here and bidding, by meeting the artists and being part of Penland’s community, you are helping to sustain the school’s commitment to craft and our mission to support individual and artistic growth through creative practice and discovery.

WELCOME

DEAR FRIENDS OF PENLAND,

2016 OUTSTANDING ARTIST EDUCATOR

PAULUS BERENSOHN, 2016 OUTSTANDING ARTIST EDUCATOR

This weekend we honor Paulus Berensohn as the 2016 Penland School of Crafts Outstanding Artist Educator. Paulus’s long involvement with the school has included being an instructor, a program director, a neighbor, and one of Penland’s most devoted promoters and supporters. He has traveled widely as a workshop instructor, and everywhere he goes, he talks about Penland, which he once described as “a kind of monastery on behalf of the human hand.” More than a few Penland students have cited Paulus as the person who first told them about the school. Paulus grew up in Manhattan and became a dancer, studying with Merce Cunningham and Martha Graham and appearing on Broadway. Although he never gave up dancing, he discovered clay and became a potter, working mostly with handbuilding processes. His seminal book Finding One’s Way with Clay was first published in 1973 and is still in print. He has made work with many other materials and has made an artform out of his personal journals. Paulus has described himself as an amateur visual artist and a professional fairy godfather. As such, he has mentored and encouraged dozens of young people. He also calls himself a passionate deep ecologist, and he has had a lifelong interest in how the act of making might help heal the earth. Paulus has taught workshops—in clay and in the making and keeping of journals—all over the United States and in the UK and Australia. He lectured at Harvard in 2011, he is an honorary fellow of the American Craft Council, and he has received the James Renwick Alliance Distinguished Craft Educator Award and the NCECA Honorary Lifetime Achievement Award. He is also the subject of a recent documentary film titled, To Spring from the Hand.

2016 OUTSTANDING ARTIST EDUCATOR

Paulus’s friend Debra Frasier, author and illustrator, wrote these words of appreciation: Recently we had to dig a well on our land near Penland School, and we were helped by a dowser’s stick and its mysterious sensitivity to water. The language of the well-finding process made me think about my friend, Paulus Berensohn. Why? Because couldn’t we call him a dowser of the imagination? Like a dowser inexplicably finding underground water with a twig, Paulus consistently locates the invisible connections of our spirit to our natural world by using the most simple of tools: his questions, his clay, paper, pastes, and his stack of poems. The maps of his searches stand on a long shelf inside gorgeous, hand-stitched journals. These luminous pages are a testament to how he “behaves artistically” while searching for the hidden rivers that connect us to our Earth and to each other. But Paulus’s dowsing for the spirit is often in people. For example, if he should aim a poem at you, his voice will lilt, his left eyebrow will arch, and his eye will meet yours as he recites the words—then suddenly something unknown will rise up inside you: a question, a tear, a crack of light. It is as if he points you to your very own well of the imagination. Paulus will say he knows so little, only stumbles, doubts himself every step of the way. But like many of the thousands of people who have been part of his workshops, I have been transformed by witnessing his process of working. Time and time again I have seen his pursuit for understanding a primary material (or a word’s derivation) suddenly inspire bubbling springs of the imagination in the people around him. This is the River of Connection he has mapped with all of us. So maybe WE have been his life’s work, after all—not just the exquisite hand-pinched pots, not just the evocative writing, not just the memorable dancing. Maybe all along his work has also been us.

FEATURED ARTWORK

Lot 431, Wendy Maruyama, Shadow of Amboseli, polychromed wood, string,100 x 50 x 30 inches, retail value: $30,000

FEATURED ARTWORK

This year’s featured artwork, commissioned for the Penland Benefit Auction, is by Wendy Maruyama. Titled Shadow of Amboseli, this magnificent piece is directly related to the work in Wendy’s touring exhibition, The wildLIFE Project, which is currently on display at the Penland Gallery before it moves to the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, Virginia and the San Francisco Museum of Craft and Design. (The exhibition originated at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft.) Wendy was one of the first two women to receive a Masters Degree in furniture making from Rochester Institute of Technology. She recently retired from San Diego State University after more than thirty years of teaching woodworking and furniture design. She says that her training in woodworking began with an interest in furniture as a creative form, and she has long been known for her innovative approach to the craft. While much of her work has been based in furniture, it has often included narrative elements and social commentary. Through her work she has celebrated Japanese culture—both high and low. Her landmark exhibition, E.O. 9066, explored the impact of JapaneseAmerican internment during World War II. Several years ago, Wendy made a trip to Kenya, where she met with wildlife advocates and learned about the dangers of continued poaching. The trip led her to create this new body of work, which incorporates a strong social message. Wendy has often used photographic and other imagery in her work. The current exhibition adds video and educational wall panels and also includes striking glass tusk forms made under her supervision during a residency at Pilchuck Glass School. Wendy has exhibited her work nationally for over four decades, with solo shows in New York City, San Francisco, Scottsdale, Indianapolis, Savannah, and Easthampton. She has exhibited internationally in Tokyo, Seoul, and London. Her work is in such national and international museum collections as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Mint Museum of Art in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Fuller Craft Museum in Brockton, Massachusetts, the Mingei International Museum in San Diego, and the Oakland Museum of California. She is the recipient of several prestigious awards, including the California Civil Liberties Public Education Grant, several National Endowment for the Arts fellowships, the Japan/US Fellowship, and a Fulbright Research Grant for work in the UK. In addition to her years of teaching at San Diego State University, Wendy has taught at the California College of the Arts, Haystack in Maine, Anderson Ranch in Colorado, and Penland. Penland School is honored to present this brilliant example of her artistry.

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.

“The Northlight Building has added to the quality of the experience for Penland students because there is now a place in a central location where everyone can fit under the same roof at the same time. Northlight has enabled us to bring all of the studios to the center of the campus.” Penland Line, Fall 1991 For over twenty-five years, the Northlight building has served as the gathering space on campus—a strong component of the community-building experience that happens at Penland. The Gorelick Social Hall is used daily for campus-wide programs and movement classes, and it is used each session for orientations, dances, scholarship auctions, and show-and-tell. It becomes an exhibition hall during the annual benefit auction, it is the site for the annual Core Show, and it has been used for countless other events, including wedding receptions, birthday parties, and memorable Halloweens. Along with the essential role it plays in the life of the school, it has also been a gathering place for the greater community. A new Northlight building will enhance the current uses of the school’s central social space and remedy the current Northlight building’s issues with flooding, electrical wiring, ventilation, heating, accessibility, acoustics, lighting, and building code requirements. The new Northlight will include porches and outdoor social areas, a small gallery for class installations, restrooms, storage, a catering kitchen, and a spacious common room with high ceilings and a mezzanine. Essential to the project is the re-routing of water; we will address hydrology issues that have plagued the central campus for years. The facility has been designed by Louis Cherry, FAIA, LEED AP. The landscape design is by Walter Havener, RLA, LEED AP. Demolition and recycling of the existing building will begin in November, 2016, and construction will begin shortly after. The new Northlight, not including the connected studios for photography and papermaking, will cost $1,855,010.

• Water gardens with native plants that will collect rain water and divert it from the core campus: $20,000 • Central grassy lawn landscaped as an amphitheater with boulder seating for special events like the July 4th fireworks, outdoor film projections, student gatherings, class discussions, temporary art installations, or simply soaking up the sun: $14,500

FUND-A-NEED

This year’s Fund-A-Need will raise money to cover these important components:

• Upper porch for knoll views, rocking chairs, and outdoor yoga classes: $25,000 • Covered outdoor porch area with built-in speakers for outdoor programs, social gatherings, session parties, and other special events: $20,000 • Covered lower level stone terrace: $15,000 • Accessible walkways with improved access to adjacent studios, housing, and the core campus: $11,000 • Improved lighting along walks and building access points: $10,000 • Increased accessible parking: $5,000 Total: $120,500 During Saturday’s live auction, we invite you to raise your paddle to support these Northlight landscape and other specialized needs. Gifts may be made at levels of $10,000, $5,000, $2,500, $1,000, $500, and $250 with a goal of raising $120,500. Thank you for your support.

SPECIAL PHOTOGRAPHY PORTFOLIO

THE PENLAND AUCTION SPECIAL PHOTOGRAPHY PORTFOLIO Penland School is currently planning a new photography studio that will allow the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photo program to teach contemporary image making using photographic techniques that span the history of the medium, from daguerreotypes to digital. As part of the fundraising for this project, photographer, instructor, and trustee Alida Fish has worked with a group of past Penland instructors to create a series of special portfolios of photographs, many of which have ties to the Penland campus or environs. These photographs are being sold at Penland auctions with the proceeds going toward the new studio.

Lot 165, Evon Streetman, Chess Player,The Village, NYC, 1956, archival pigment print, 9H x 9H inches Fixed price: $400, framed Additional copies are available from the edition of 25 signed prints, unframed, for $350. Evon Streetman, the person most responsible for establishing the photography program at Penland, made this photograph in 1956. A limited edition of digital prints were made by Michelle Van Parys from Evonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original negative. She has donated them in support of the new photography studio.
