Participants and instructors are encouraged to loan publications to the Library for the duration of the event. There is also an extensive Penland Library to be used as a resource. Participants will be encouraged to report on activities in and outside of classes, lectures and demonstrations. The newsletters will form the basis for PBI '95 documentation. There you'll find most everything you need for working with books, paper, and related crafts.
Participants are welcome to bring items for sale on consignment.
The airport shuttle from Ashville, NC, will be extra, and arrangements will be made after registration acceptance in the spring. Housing is in bunk-style cabins with plenty of storage space and showers. The food at Penland is well-known for its high quality. Campsites are available though the tuition remains the same. In general, it is assumed that applicants will have special interest and experience in bookbinding, conservation, papermaking, printing, or associated areas.
