Jay Musler describes his experience at Penland. Oral history interview with Jay Musler by Barb Elam, conducted via telephone, September 5, 2019, Bard Graduate Center. Clip length: 00:58.

Jay Musler: Well, Penland was an incredible school. You know, it just—it’s not all glass. It’s a number of different things, fiber, metal, ceramics. And I know when I first went there, some students came by and they saw some work I was doing and said, ‘Oh, can I borrow this?’ and I said, ‘Sure, go ahead and take it.’ And they came back and they had woven all this fiber into the glass, and, I said, ‘Wow. This is great. I like this.’ [laughs] But, that’s teaching, and at Penland they encourage people to experiment with different materials and whatnot. But I did like that experience.
