“I love it when people sing together, laugh together, or show 

me the pictures in their wallets. I feel a yearning for the 

wonderful side of human nature that I cannot explain, but 

when it appears in an occasional piece that I have made, it’s 

a good, good, day in the studio.”

“In January 2009, I spent a month picking through people’s 

trash. I took every piece of wood furniture I could find back to 

my studio. I then collaged parts and pieces together to panel

“The forms I create are questions that 

are designed to expose the layers of

series, which explores identity and relationship in the experience of sharing sustenance.”

Sterling silver, grey pearls,

“The Fibonacci spiral, used as Penland’s logo from 1984 to 

1989, was the inspiration for this piece. Robert has used spirals 

in his work for many years and the enamel and diamond 

nautilus has been an integral part of Mickey’s production 

jewelry. Penland brought us together in 1994 and we have worked, taught, conspired, and collaborated 

together ever since. This piece can be worn as a necklace, a brooch, or the chain can be worn separately.”

Carved bocote wood 

16 x 8 x 5 in.

“Moving Through is from my Slipping Stones series, which 

deals with an imminent sense of falling with as little symmetry

single piece of bocote; it was not assembled.”

Soda lime glass 

Tree: 3½ in. tall 


“One day, while working in my vegetable garden, a sweet 

sound called my attention: two nice chickadees, one sitting 

on a tree and the other one scratching the ground. 

It was such a nice ‘landscape’ that I could hardly wait 

to make them in glass.”

Soda-fired stoneware

“I find beauty in the formal aspects of tools 

and machinery. In them, line, shape, color, 

and form are dictated by function, but if 

we look beyond function, we can find 

grace, elegance, and metaphor.” 

435 Junichiro Baba 

The Memory of Shadows 

Cast glass, concrete

“With some antagonism, I enjoy imitating objects of mass production using time-honored craft disciplines. 

This body of work also reflects the realization of the difficult position we as consumers are in: 

trying to balance our desire for a developed, convenient world with the harsh impact this has on our 

ecosystems and their inhabitants.”

Arrangements.”

Four Seasons 

Blown and cast glass, electronic components, original video 

18 x 36 x 8 in. 


$$$ shipping 

“The thought behind this suite was to use a traditional form firmly based in craft and then add a 

fourth-dimensional element. The piece works as a crossover between 20th and 21st century aesthetics. 

The lost-wax casting is very intricate and complex, using hundreds of individually cast components. 

This is contrasted by the very direct and compelling video selections.” 

441 James D.W. Cooper 

Fisherman’s Friend 

Sterling silver, carnelian agate 

6 x 2½ x 1¼ in. 


“I enjoy fishing in cold, mountain streams. Taking a little nip to 

toast a fish released back in the stream adds to the pleasure of a 

day on the water. Cheers.”

print, leather, artificial sinew 

19 x 24 x 24 in.

“Polar bears are currently being threatened by 

the melting of the polar ice cap due to projected

declining.”

Bow and Tassel Pendant Brooch 

Sterling silver, paint, cotton 

10 x 4 x 1½ in.

curtains in the house I grew up in, and vintage Cartier 

jewelry.” 

444 Elizabeth Brim

New Aqua Sprout 

Cast and cut glass, fused steel 

22 x 6 x 4 in.

Rain’s Rays 

Sterling, 24K gold, seed beads, pearls 

10 x 8 x ½ in. 


$$$ shipping 

“After spring rains, live oaks sprout beautiful, mist saturated 

leaves, which sparkle in the dawning sun’s rays as I take 

my early morning race-walk. Rain’s Rays is my effort to 

convey the feeling of this experience by offering the soft luster 

of gold on sterling accented by pearls and strands of seed 

beads.”

“This piece is the first of a series of that combines two modes 

of work: the classic busts and the open-book motif. In this piece 

we see the white fire (which represents the artists’s passion) 

whispering in the muse’s ear, while the book depicts the quite 

bittersweet sputtering sound of a dying insect’s wings.”

Silver, enamel 

1 x 1¼ x ⅓ in. 



453 David Eichelberger 

Box 

Earthenware, space 

16 x 17 x 12 in. 


“Objects of containment reflect a desire to order our 

environment, and this box generates a rarified interior 

space that makes accessing it a self-justifying endeavor.”

455 Joanna Gollberg 

Spinning Brooch 

Sterling silver, 18K gold, cubic zirconia 

2 x 2½ x 1 in. 


“This brooch bridges two completely different lines of 

jewelry. The spinning ovals complement the solidity of 

the gemstone, which is tightly and securely set in place. 

Yet the gemstone itself shows movement as it sparkles in 

the light and the motion of the wearer.” 

456 David K. Chatt 

Green Bracelet 

Glass beads, thread 

9 x 3 x ½ in. 


“As long as there have been objects with holes in them 

and people to poke things into those holes, we, the 

people, have done exactly that.” 

457 Elizabeth Barton 

Distant Lights 

Fiber collage/quilt 

56 X 38 in. 


“This piece is about the complexity of different viewpoints, 

with the hope that one can achieve unity even 

with all the variety.” 

112

458 Robin Johnston 

Trace Elements 

Handwoven cotton, rayon 

30 x 72 in. 


“The pattern in this piece was formed by 

rolling dice to create a random scattering 

pattern. I also used set variables to determine 

the background twill. A meditative feeling 

was achieved with the painstaking slowness 

of the process.”

Walnut, upholstery 

20½ X 25 x 14½ in.

“This is the last piece I made while I was a core 

fellow at Penland. It was made out of scraps from 

various other projects. This stool rocks, and the 

handles on the sides make the experience a little 

more fun and engaging.” 

460 David Ellsworth 

Pine Pot 

Ponderosa Pine 

6½ x 8 in. 


$$$ shipping 

“This is a classic ovoid form from a classic material, 

Ponderosa Pine, which came from my property

reflected with perfectly balanced grain that lends 

balance to its understated elegance.”
