The Penland Scholarship auctions occur every other Thursday and as each session concludes they serve as a great way to see what each class has been working on. So far I've been to two and my they are exciting! Emotions and energy levels are high--there's so much activity you can feel the it in the air. Here are some pictures to give you a better idea of the atmosphere of the night and pieces that sold.
