Teacher Feature: Anthony Wolking


Thank you to Anthony for stopping in Inspiration Nation this Saturday. He showed us how to make a mold and cast just about anything you can think of. If you are interested in learning more, he teaches classes at Baker Hunt too.

1. What is the last inspiration you remember having?
Recent research into Graham Hudson is making me rethink sculptural possibilities.

2. What kind of things get you thinking and making stuff?
I am inspired daily looking at nature, life, artists, and reactions to happenings and interactions that seem out of place.

3. When you were younger what were you like and what did you like?
I enjoyed making all art. I like flying kites and fishing.

4. Tell us some details about where you are sitting to write this or your favorite place to make stuff.
I don't have one generally. I have to work in a studio since I need equipment to facilitate my creative processes.

5. Make something in your mind. Someone gives you a roll of paper towels, a straw, some grape juice, and a sharpie. What do you make?
I would unroll the paper towel, floor to ceiling along a wall. Pour the grape juice through the straw on the floor and record how far up the grapejuice leaches up the towels hung vertically, marking with the sharpie on a regualr time interval.
