Weekly Gallery Tour: Erik Wolken and Robb Helmkamp

We're continuing our extended feature of Branching Out: Works in Wood from North Carolina by highlighting exhibiting artist Erik Wolken and his friend and fellow artist, Robb Helmkamp.

These furniture makers and sculptors collaborate on a podcast called Why Make? 

Be sure to check out this podcast they did with another one of our exhibiting artists in Branching Out, sculptor Joël Urruty

Why Make? is a collaborative project seeking to create a narrative about investigating the intersection of "why" people make and "where" their inspiration and excitement to make comes from. We hope to accomplish this primarily through the Why Make? podcast where we have conversations with artists, in their studios, asking the most basic question, Why Make?

More information on Branching Out can be found on our website at www.BlowingRockMuseum.org/exhibitions
