Bill Wilkey, 2014–2015 Joan Lincoln Fellow, 2015–2016 Lillstreet Art Center Fellow 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 joined the Bray family as the 2014 Lincoln Fellow. Bill’s functional pottery is made with an architectural aesthetic and he uses atmospheric firing processes to finish the surfaces. To see more work by Bill visit his website at www.wilkeyarts.com. |
