Weekly Auctions
PVCC offers weekly
auctions on Sunday afternoon at 1pm in the tent outside of the dining
hall.
They are not only a great source of funds for studio improvements,
but fun and humorous social events (as well as an outlet for frustrated
ex-comedian, director Jimmy Clark).
Students get to test the market for
their artistic endeavors as well as procure excellent works of art, often
for a great price.

Beginner's
Weekend May 17 & 18
Peters Valley will be kicking off
its new season with a "Beginners Weekend".
All of our course offerings will be appropriate for neophytes.
This
is the opportunity to try something new and feel at ease in the knowledge
that most of those surrounding you are inexperienced as well.
Whether
you've never taken a crafts workshop before, or you are just looking to
try something new, this is a great opportunity to "get your feet
wet".
