Sharon,
Oh, Penland, wonderful Penland........ in the 60s, for seven years we, with our three small children, spent two weeks every summer at Penland, My husband dedicated his vacation from Blenko Glass to give a workshop in glass at Penland. It was a wonderful, magical place for our children - and for us. The community of artist/craftspeople, the quality of the work produced was festive and inspiring. We have gone back now and then and though much is changed it is still a wonderful place. Several of the artists who attended the summer school when we and they were young now live and work around Penland. I think you should drop everything and secure a place for a long summer stay. You will be inspired.
