A Free Exchange of Ideas: Penland’s Glass Technicians
Summit
For eight decades, Penland School of Crafts has been
dedicated to “working with one another in creating the
good and the beautiful,” as founder Lucy Morgan once put
it. This same spirit of shared purpose fast-forwarded
into the high-tech realm during a conference in February
2009 when top equipment makers in the field of glass
came together on Penland’s historic campus to compare
notes on their best cutting-edge ideas and most elegant
engineering solutions. New connections were forged and
information flowed freely during the three-day event,
setting the stage for faster gains in glass studio
efficiency for the good of the environment and the
field. |
