529: Bill Wilkey on his soda-fired geometric forms

Bill Wilkey fires his geometric forms in a soda atmosphere that
exposes and softens their textured edges. In this week’s
interview we talk about his mind-blowing experience visiting
Brunelesschi’s Dome, the impact his Archie Bray residency had on
his career, and starting a life in Helena, MT with his family.

featuring former Bray residents. This year’s Bray residency
application deadline is December 19th. Check out

apply.


 


I would like to highlight a few friends of the podcast that need
help recovering from Hurricane Helene. Cassie Butcher, Maria
Andrade Troya, and the other artists of Curve Studios were hit
hard with flooding up to the second story of their building. The
studio isn’t able to reopen, but please support the Go Fund Me
linked above to help the artists relocate.
