Presenting BRAHM TO GO, the podcast that brings art and history to you through artist interviews, oral histories, and scholarly lectures.

Our first season will focus on the exhibit, The Way Watauga Works, where we profiled people who work or recently retired from working in Watauga County, North Carolina. This exhibit delves deeper into the meaning behind work and community.

 Today we have an interview with Glenn Bolick. Glenn is a master potter, 5th generation saw miller, musician, storyteller, North Carolina Folk Life Heritage Award Winner and national hollering champion multiple times over.  This interview was conducted by myself and project photographer Ashley Warren, sat down with Glenn in a 19h century log cabin schoolhouse on his property in Caldwell County in February 2018. Glenn is co-owner with his wife Lula Belle of Bolick & Traditions Pottery located on Main Street in Blowing Rock. This interview was part of the exhibit the Way Watauga Works and the questions and responses focus on Glenn’s work history.

BRAHM To Go is produced by Willard Watson, with support from Maako Shiratori. Music by Melissa Edd. The Way Watauga Works was made possible with support by the Smithsonian Institute’s Traveling Exhibition Service, Museum on Main Street, and NC Humanities.
