Bill Wilkey

https://wilkeyarts.com

As a child, Bill Wilkey dreamed of being a marine biologist or an archeologist. But that all changed in high school when he had the chance to watch his ceramics teacher demonstrate throwing a large clay cylinder on the potter’s wheel. From that moment on, Bill has pursued a new dream of making a life as a potter and ceramics educator. Bill’s functional pottery is made with an architectural aesthetic and he uses atmospheric firing processes to finish the surfaces. “Crafting an object that exists beyond my own intentions fulfills a need to contribute to someone’s daily ritual or personal escape. This work becomes a safeguard in which one can feel at ease while experiencing it and their surroundings.”
