Robb Helmkamp is a maker who was raised all over the U.S. by a career Navy father and a clay artist mother, growing up surrounded by both arts and crafts & military history and design. After attending West Virginia University and starting a career in journalism Helmkamp went to the Professional Crafts program at Haywood Community College. Currently living in North Charleston, SC Robb works on commissions and makes a variety of projects and products in his home studio. He shows his work in various galleries and exhibitions throughout the Southeast US. By juxtaposing wood and metal, light and dark tones, smooth and rough textures, Helmkamp’s furniture and woodwork is a canvas for expression. Helmkamp enjoys creating unique furniture and sculpture which ask questions, tell stories and make statements about our culture and the never ending social avalanche we all live in.
