SPECIAL SERIES: The Penland Winter Residency Distinguished Fellows
In the coming 4 episodes of the podcast, host Sarah Rachel Brown interviews distinguished fellows of the Penland Winter Residency. These interviews were recorded in January 2024 as part of Sarah’s Andrew Glasgow Residency. This Glasgow residency provides emerging and established writers, scholars, curators, and storytellers in all mediums with the freedom to write stories and conduct research and interviews on topics designed to advance the field of craft.
With the support of the Penland School of Craft, this special series aims to highlight what the Penland Winter Residency is and what it means to be a distinguished fellow. Through one-on-one interviews with select fellows, Sarah gives insight into who the fellows are and how this opportunity impacted each artist’s current studio practice.
To help introduce this series, Sarah asked members of Penland’s staff to speak on what exactly Penland’s Winter Residency is, how artists can participate, and the process for selecting distinguished fellows.
In order of guest appearance:
Leslie Noell, Creative Director
Nadia Massoud, Studio Operations Manager
Mia Hall, Executive Director
The first episode will be released on Tuesday, April 9th. Thank you to Penland and the Andrew Glasgow Residency for the time and space to make this series possible. And a special thank you to the participating artists for stepping away from your studios to record these interviews.
