Sloss Furnances


Sloss’s Metal Arts program is rooted in Birmingham’s historic connection to iron and steel. The city owes its existence to these metals and to the forming and processing industries that grew up around them. Although such industries are no longer the dominant forces they once were, they are still an important part of the city’s economic life and offer tremendous resources for the production of metal sculpture.





Penland School of Craft


The mission of Penland School of Crafts is individual and artistic growth through craft. Penland enriches the lives of individuals by teaching skills, stimulating ideas, and promoting the value of craft in the world. Everyone is welcome, from beginning and advanced craft practitioners to the general public. Penland offers a learning environment which is beautiful, stimulating, and egalitarian. It is a place where people love to work, feel free to experiment, and frequently exceed their own expectations. Penland's programs encompass traditional and contemporary craft, and seek to acknowledge the human spirit which is universally expressed through craft.
