Cracked with Chevonne Ariss

Welcome back! It's Season 4 of Cracked! Today to kick it off I'm joined by Brooklyn based glass artist Sacha Carlos-Raps! She is a Filipina immigrant and not only makes beautiful glass work full of bright colors but also does printmaking and illustrations. Her art practice is "her rebellious demonstration against the good immigrant binary and the post-diasporic expectations of “first gens” Her work is memoriric totems that embraces the kaleidoscopic inner self, an ode to the abode and the absurd."Today we talk glasswork of course but we're also going to talk about markets, candles, get into the making of her zine, her Oaxacan residency and then we wind it back down with some fun Phillipino facts. Let's get into it...Join me as I crack it all wide open!To see more of Sacha's work, her instagram is @sacharaps and her website is sacharaps.com. For the Cracked Patreon members Sacha is gifting one of her super popular shrimp sun catchers.  I'll be doing a raffle for that 12 days after the release of this episode. She's also offering a $20 discount code to  the rest of the Cracked Patreon members and remember Sasha sells much more on her website other than glass pieces. I just ordered myself some an array of her gift cards and they're so cute!

Hellooooo and welcome back to Cracked with Chevonne Ariss! Today's guest is Jax Partlow. Jax Partlow is a glass artist based in Los Angeles. While formally trained in graphic design, Jax prefers the longevity and physical aspects that glasswork affords her, as well as a very tangible connection with her late father. It was only after she was left his tools that she gravitated toward the craft while living in Hungary. Thoughtful, romantic and functional, stained glass fulfills a creative desire for Jax as an artist, while meeting her designer side with its utilitarian appeal. She is most recognized for her Public Piece Project in which she installs her art in unlikely spaces. It's my favorite. It's so smart and cool and she's my absolute favorite street artist. Jax's work has been featured in Stained Glass Magazine, The Corning Museum of Glass: New Glass Review 2022 and by her own accord in the streets of Los Angeles.Let's get into it.Join me as I crack it wide open!Watch Jax and I here: https://youtu.be/dCer2e0t8r8Kintsugi wikipedia.orgLarry Bellguggenheim.orgEgon Schiele “Mother and Child”wikiart.orgLeopold Museum in Vienna leopoldmuseum.orgHelen Frankenthalerfrankenthalerfoundation.orgEtel Adnaneteladnan.comWillem de Kooningdekooning.org Elaine Marie Catherine de Kooningwikipedia.orgQuinn Gilmer@mdrnwldngPaul Lozano@compasssssionSzápör Klub@szaporklubBad BunnyJax's Bad Bunny Songs Playlist

Today's guests are the dynamic duo Nadine Keegan and Tom Medicus. I was able to catch them both at the same time while Nadine is visiting Tom's studio in Austria. Although their work is strikingly different, they both have done a brilliant job bringing meaningful topics and statements into their work. Keep listening and you'll agree! Join me as I crack it wide open... Nadine: After spending 3 years studying fine art photography at RMIT and PIC, she became disillusioned with the orthodox methods of image making and work style of a fine art photographer.  A few years past and many less artistic pursuits were explored when, with a visit to the solar-punk stained glass mural Cosmovitrial in Toluca, Mexico she finally discovered the creative industry which aligned with her ideals. While realizing the potential that exists within the craft that I had not yet seen in Australia.  Solidifying her obsession with research into the stained glass window's development through the 20th century, with the manifestations of the Arts and Crafts anti-industrialisation ideals embedded in it's design and construction.  Through her work, she celebrates both the legacy of the craft laid out before her and the potentiality of the materials when manipulated with a contemporary perspective and up-to-date technology. Her experience includes custom stained glass fabrication, heritage restoration, architectural glass work and exhibition works. To see more of Nadine's work, her instagram is @nadinekeegan. Tom: Thomas Medicus is a visual artist based in Innsbruck, Austria. Best known for his anamorphic cubes he also works in other fields such as illustration, animation, digital art, stained glass, restoration and conservation as well as public art. He studied social work at MCI Innsbruck before attending the Glasfachschule Kramsach, a school for glass art, where he earned a master glaziers degree later. In addition to his independent activity as a freelance artist, he was employed in the long-standing firm for stained glass windows Tiroler Glasmalerei for seven years. From the beginning of 2021 he became completely independent and founded his company Studio Medicus. To see more of Tom's work, his instagram is @tomedicus.

Hello and welcome back to Cracked with Chevonne Ariss! My guest today is Jane Littlefield. Jane works with stained glass from her workshop in Great Longstone, Derbyshire.  She studied Fine Art at Ravensbourne College and has worked in different areas of design over the years.  Jane works to commission and has produced work for homes, schools and businesses.  She also runs glass workshops. Her own work consists of stained glass panels that have multi – layered, painted glass images that are inspired by the Peak District, its nature, history and folklore. "I use images of creatures, landscape features and organic motifs to create these glass panels."  The glass is hand painted using traditional stained glass paints and translucent enamels, often using many layers and textures, that are fired in the kiln.  They are assembled using lead and solder.  Let's get into it… Join me as I crack it wide open!! For the Cracked Patreon page Jane is gifting one of her blackbird eating a warm small suncatcher pieces that's about 9cm or just about 3.5” and also a pack of 5 owl rondel greeting cards. All so so cute. I'll be doing a drawing for that in my Instagram stories on Sunday Jan 29th 2023. To see more of Jane's work, her instagram is @jane.littlefield.glassand her website is linktr.ee/Janelittlefieldglass.Honorable mentions from this episode:Well Dressing historic-uk.com/CultureUK/Well-Dressing/Castleton Garland castleton-garland.comCappy Thompson cappythompsonInternational Festival of Glassifg.org.ukGlass artistsLilly Eris@lekkasukaLiz Huppert @lizhuppertstainedglassThank you to this episode's sponsors:For episodic sponsorship opportunities please email hello@runaglassworks.com.Hoevel Technologies Time Saving Tools for the Stained Glass Artists!Canfield Technologies Canfield sets the standard for the Stained Glass industry.

Today's guest is  Ariana Makau of Nzilani Glass. She is the 2nd person in the world – and the first woman – to receive a Master's Degree in Stained Glass Conservation from the Royal College of Art in London. Equally comfortable on a job site, at a board meeting or in a museum, Makau has over 25 years of experience with art and architectural preservation.  She is a Board Member and Health and Safety Chair of the SGAA and is a Fellow of AIC. Before Nzilani, she worked at the J. Paul Getty Museum in LA, London's V&A Museum, and the NY  Metropolitan Museum of Art.  Approachable and non-judgmental, Ariana enjoys sharing her professional experience in classroom and public talks.  I could have spoken to Ariana for 2 more hrs and still only scratched the surface of her extensive experience and knowledge of glass conservation and preservation. Asbestos testing /Respirator fit tests-Ariana recommends you do a local search with the key words "asbestos material testing company" and "respirator fit tests".  In some cases, people might be able to get the latter sourced through a museum.  Local paint companies sometimes teach one day lead certification classes as well."Nzilani is hoping to roll out hosting contracted respirator fit and BLL testing next year as a service to local artists. I encourage individual artists to network and do the same in their areas. Joining together can reduce costs, build community and empower folks to be accountable to their own health and well-being."-Ariana Makaucascademetals.com Ted Sawyer- Bullseye lead scientistbullseyeprojects.comTyvek Suitpksafety.comHope Crewsavingplaces.org/hope-crewConservation Schools:Buffalo State University Art Conservation DepartmentWinterthur UD Program in Art ConservationNYU ConservationUCLA/Getty Interdepartmental Program James Turrelljamesturrell.comLiza Enebeis @bookslovelizaEmily AtefwikipediaCyril Atef@cyrilatefOctavia E.

WOWOWOW welcome to 2023!  Shout out to all my hobbyists listening, this episode is for you because not all artists need to sell what they make and honestly the hobbyists make up the majority of my listeners so I was stoked to have that conversation represented here too. Sara Strickler is today's guest and she is from Virginia, but currently lives on a small island called Alameda in the Bay Area and works by day as a designer for Nest. In her free time she's an incredible stained glass artist. She's actually one of the many great talents coming out of Dan Grimaldi's shop in San Francisco called Cradle of the Sun. Truth be told I had a really hard time naming this episode because we cover everything from her love and appreciation for Cup Noodle, the meaning of being a hobbyist and even Miss Piggie at a rave in Berlin in 1992. Or as a yogi cult guru. Wait what? You'll have to keep listening to find out what I mean…Join me as I crack it all wide open!! To see more of Sara's work her instagram is @_sarastrickler_For the Patreon members Sara has generated another custom pattern just for us so we can all partake in an AI collaboration!

Hello and welcome back to Cracked with Chevonne Ariss!Today's very sweet and lovely guest is Nik Sanders of Hepzibar Button. Her botanical Scandinavian inspired leaded glass work also incorporates very detailed glass painting. Like many of us, stained glass is something she came too after having children and a whole other long career. Before she was a full time glass artist, for over fifteen years she was a Primary School Teacher. Now Nic has been doing glass for over ten years now with no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Nik's work is personally one of my favorites - definitely on my top 10 list - and I'm so glad I got to meet the sweet woman behind the glass. Let's get into it :)Join me as I crack it all wide open! To see more of Nik's work, her instagram is @hepzibarbutton.For our Cracked Patreon page members, Nik is giving away one of her Painted bird sun catchers in a surprise color! It's going to look so gorgeous hanging in someone's window and I'll be doing a drawing for that piece on my instagram on January 8th, 2023.

Hello all and welcome back to Cracked with Chevonne Ariss!Today's guest for episode 35 is Los Angeles artist Timo Fahler. Timo uses plaster, ceramics, steel, wood, and found objects to construct highly visual and culturally significant works. Combining formal elements of sculpture with references to his heritage, Fahler's work explores ideas of use and reuse through casting and manipulating found objects and combining them with relics that relate to personal experiences. His restructuring of objects in a manner that indicates function and meaning while remaining abstract in form, invokes a bricoleurian practice, representative of a multi-cultural aesthetic. Alright let's get into it with Timo…Join me, as I crack it all wide open! To see more of Timo's work, his instagram Is @team-oh and his website is timofahlerarchive.com.For the Cracked Patreon page members Timo is offering the pattern for "Kala Chromium Aestus" made recently at his Bedstuy Art Residency.Get into it at Patreon.com/runaglassworks.Honorable mentions from this episode:The Last Judgement - the flayed skin of Michelangelo italian-renaissance-art.com/Last-JudgementThe 3 pieces I asked Timo about:timofahlerarchive.comtimofahlerarchive.comtimofahlerarchive.comFavorite artists:Rafa Esparszacommonwealthandcouncil.comBeatrice Cortezbeatrizcortez.comDaniel Gibsondanielgibsonart.comHannah Levy hannahslevy.comFin Simonettifinsimonetti.comBea Fremderman beafremderman.comMolly's magic glass@mollysmagickglassMary Weatherford wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_WeatherfordFor episodic sponsorship opportunities please email hello@runaglassworks.com.Support the showThank you to this episode's sponsor:Canfield Technologies Canfield sets the standard for the Stained Glass industry.

Hello friends and welcome back to Cracked with Chevonne Ariss! Now I've got my eyes on a lot of glass artists and I've seen a lot of really cool ideas and unique projects but it's rare that I find an artist who every time I check in on their social media and they can surprise me with something different. Kerbi Urbanowski is her name, and if that sounds familiar it's because she was nominated by Jaclyn Miller of Assembly Glassworks and she just finished up a joint show with Ben Houtkamp of Ben's Website. They're team Kerbi, I'm team Kerbi and after you hear today's episode you'll be team Kerbi too!All right let's get into it…Join me as I crack it all wide open!

The link to that was posted there @ patreon.com/runaglassworks today, and she's also gifting one of her Lil Rita soap dishes to one lucky member. I'll be doing a drawing for that in my instagram stories on Dec 25th 2022.

 Trained as an architect, Josephine A. Geiger's glass art is inspired by hidden depths in the landscape. These scenes are distilled into a bold palette of rectangles and squares of colored light as she translates a photo or sketch with an Impressionistic eye, capturing the essence of the subject. Josephine's process is organically linear, adding, shifting, flipping, or removing glass elements until the visual puzzle is finally solved — often in surprising ways.In addition to a steady stream of private commissions (even a chicken coop), Josephine's artwork is represented in various installations and public collections. Josephine also recently created and installed an original skylight on the Frank Lloyd Wright Lovness Estate in Minnesota. Her distinctive style has earned multiple awards and has been featured in both regional and national print publications, as well as TV episodes on TPT's MN Original and INSP's Handcrafted America.Josephine's instagram is @jageigerstudio and website is jageigerstudio.com. For the Cracked Patreon members she is giving away a fused Holiday ornament as well as one of her new 2023 Calendars. The drawing for that is on Dec 18th, 2022 which is 12 days after this episode is released.  Your name is automatically entered into these artist giveaways when you join for as little as $5 per month. Find out more at Patreon.com. From Josephine:PotekGlass – The Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul area) had BOTH main stained glass supply locations close this year. Malcom Potek had been stepping into the fused glass retailer space the year before, but ended up hiring on the restoration specialist from one closed location and has started stocking stained glass supplies.

Hello and welcome back to Cracked SEASON 3.To kick this season off I'm joined by Derek Hunt. He does it all… Not only reputable and respected conservation work, but also beautiful and thoughtful new glass work for public buildings, schools, theaters, restaurants, libraries and hospitals. His work can be seen through out the United Kingdom and beyond. He's also one of the warmest people I've had the honor of interviewing and another example of someone who is impressively generous with his extensive knowledge of all things glass. As you'll hear him explain in our chat today,  like many, the pandemic forced him to expand professionally and for him that meant taking on the challenge of making quality content for his social media channels, Especially youtube. There he share's free online tutorials, inspirational videos and artist interviews.With some editing magic done by Derek this interview will also be viewable on Derek's as well as my YouTube channel and a link to watch that is in this episode's show notes.When I put the call out on instagram for questions for Derek, listener @glassyem responded “No questions but I think I'm most excited for this episode release! I'm a Derek Superfan!” Em I couldn't agree more.  So let's get into it. Join me, as I crack it all wide open…To see more of Derek's work, his instagram is @derekhuntartist and his website is limelightstudios.co.ukFor the Cracked Patreon page members Derek is offering a link to a Spotify music playlist he made to listen to while you work!  Patreon.com/runaglassworks.

As you know, at the end of all my episode's I always ask my guest what their 5-10 year goals are. It's been interesting…majority of the time, artists that are known for making smaller pieces say they would like to make larger pieces and get into more installation work and artists that make larger pieces say they would like to come back to making the smaller pieces they started with. Like many of you I usually make smaller pieces that don't require much more than some sturdy hooks to install. But I too have been wanting to grow and expand into doing something bigger.That opportunity came! I just finished my first commercial installation and as I made my way through the project there were a lot of steps that were new to me. I was very lucky to have a mentor helping me through the process. A very talented and experienced artist, Ted Ellison from Theodore Ellison Designs, based in Oakland. His first episode of Cracked was released October 5th 2021, episode 5, Season 1.I asked Ted if he would be open to come back on with me and co-host an episode recapping my experience and together we could pass on the advice and guidance he had given me.Join us as we crack it all wide open!To see more of Ted's work, his instagram is @theodoreellisondesigns and mine is @runaglassworks.Honorable mentions from this episode:Unishippers (LTL):go.unishippers.comT shaped  furniture mending plates:https://amzn.to/37ZLUvtLink to digital downloads:runaglassworks.com/shop Canfield Technologies Canfield sets the standard for the Stained Glass industry.

In 1897, The Judson Studios was established in Los Angeles by the painter and professor William Lees Judson and his three sons. Helmed by Walter Horace, the eldest son and a stained glass expert, the Studios thrived from the start, beautifying the booming metropolis with works that represented the best in traditional and modern design. Today, Judson is the oldest family-run stained glass studio in America, still proudly offering an exquisite, handcrafted product made by local artisans, and continuing to serve the community that has sustained us through the decades. Today I'm speaking with David Judson. He's been working hard to grow and stretch his family business into exciting new territories and  has recently released Judson: Innovation in Stained Glass , a book to document the nearly 125-year history of Judson Studios. We're going to chat about that, as well as the power of collaboration, current and future projects happening at Judson and the unique impact and legacy David would like to leave with the industry. Join me as I crack it all wide open!To see more of the work coming out of Judson Studios, their instagram is @judsonstudios and their website is judsonstudios.com.Honorable mentions from this episode:Where to find the book:"JUDSON: Innovation in Stained Glass"judsonstudios.com/product(There's a 20% discount available to the Cracked Patreon members!

Can you even hear the words “copper foil overlay" and not know who Margo Marquette is? I don't think it's possible! Usually when I mention her name it's met with a sharp inhale and some head shaking while words are searched for to express shock at the insane detail she's able to create.  Her work reminds me a little bit of of shadow puppets, a lot of fables and folklore, and all timeless enchanted storytelling.While speaking with Margo I was surprised and struck by how humble she is, and how she's moved through our beloved craft with such ingenuity and resourcefulness.  Keep listening and you'll see what I mean…Join me as I crack it all wide open!

Today I'm joined by stained glass designer & maker Lena Zaycman who is based in St. Petersburg, Russia. After working on large scale stained glass installations alongside her sister, she continued her practice refining her own style, where she's focused on the idea of hassle-free installation by making absolutely independent objects that can easily be displayed anywhere. She's created a fantastical line of little creatures called Shelly Creatures and Zoobastics which are not only whimsical and fun but also carry great personal healing work and meaning. Her Buddy line and Bali line is equally sentimental. Today we're going to dive into her different collections and explore what their meaning is to Lena, we'll also discuss healthy balances with social media and what some of the different products and tools are that she's using in Russia.Join me as I crack it all wide open!To see more of Elena's work, her instagram is @helloelena and her website is elenazaycman.com.

Today I'm speaking with Lauren Puckett. She's an artist with an adventurous spirit and a love of flying airplanes. She just recently returned to the states from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland where she was working on her PhD in glass and now, she's currently in a residency at the McColl Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. The sky's the limit for this artist and pilot, but where she's currently gaining altitude is by intertwining feminine studies with glass in an unexpected and seamless way. Her pieces examine subculture, stereotypes and representation with contemporary power structures. Her work is powerful and thought provoking, and creates the start of conversations that need to be had. Everything she's doing will make a lasting impression, her efforts to modernize our traditional practice with her C&C plasma framing system included. It's the spark to a flame that may make the future of stained glass more safe and therefore more accessible. A lover of open knowledge, she shares today with us her process and her journey of growing and evolving along side her work.

Today I'm joined by Colleen Newcomb, the one woman show behind Wildlight Glassworks.She was born, raised and joins us from the bluegrass region of Kentucky. Colleen's worked in many different mediums, but in 2016 she found herself moving away from the world of sign making and street art and into the world of glass. She's a self taught artist and most of her the inspiration for her work comes from her love of the natural world and music - especially the Grateful Dead (so you know I had to put her on the spot with a Dead Head quiz!) We also chat about foil size preferences, her favorite glass hack (and my favorite so far ever shared on Cracked) and a fun way to collaborate with other glass artists.

Today in episode 20 we're taking a real meander with glass artist Judith Schaechter. With a glass career that spans 40 years, Judith is one of the most celebrated and decorated glass artists of our time and a force to be reckoned with. She's a LEGEND. Today she's got some incredible resources to share with us for anyone wanting to get into the elusive gallery world and we dig into her very unique glass process. But she also shares with us some sweet little peeks into who she is outside of her work. Her enthusiasms for pigeons, who her favorite Beatle and why vacation is a 4 letter word. Judith is not only someone who's work I admire, but now I know that she's also the quirky aunt I've always wanted. Actually even more than that, the one we all really need.

Hey hey welcome to episode 19 of Season 2 of Cracked with Chevonne Ariss!Today, I'm speaking with Anika Van Der Merwe who's joining us from Cape Town, South Africa. Traditional or Classical to homes or workplaces, her studio Silverstain Glass is bringing glass beauty into the world with a range of techniques. Anika has that great freedom of expression in stained glass that I admire so much. Because of her limited access to materials early on, she learned to mix and match techniques to get the products unavailable to her, like creating her own flash glass. Anika's work is an extrordinary medley of layering enamels, silverstain, matting, etching, slumping…she explains to us today how anything is possible and there really is no limitation to what you can do with a kiln and paints. But what's her one rule about temperature? Keep listening to find out! Join me as I crack it all wide open!To see more of Anika's work, her instagram is @writeanika and her website is silverstain.co.za.

Hi hello hello and we're back!!! To kick Season 2 off, I'm interviewing Amber Droste.

In episode 16 I'm joined by Flora Jamieson of The Round Window. Flora is a stained glass artist who takes on a wide variety of stained glass commissions as well as her own contemporary designs.Her personal style is inspired by graphic design, the natural world, organic forms and geometric patterns. Color palettes are bold yet simple, lead lines are meticulous and purposeful and patterns are hand-painted and repetitive, with the fluidity and texture of the brush stroke telling part of the story.Flora is also a freelance glass painter for stained glass studios in the UK and further abroad. Specializing  in reproduction of Victorian Bird Roundels, she seeks to be as faithful to the traditional techniques as possible, having studied many beautiful original examples over the past 18 years.  She has  worked on several church windows in conjunction with other stained glass studios, painting replicas of damaged pieces. Today Flora is  is getting technical for all of us who want to know the details of her glass painting wizardry and even has some book suggestions  - the same ones she used to learn actually - for those of us that don't have access to an in-person glass painting class. We'll also take a dive into her double life as an avid outdoor swimmer and author of her book Wild Swimming.And where Studio Ghibli fits into it all? Join me to find out…as I crack it all wide open!  To see more of Flora's work her website is www.florajamieson.co.uk and her instagram is @theroundwindow.Her book is called Wild Swimming and is available here at florajamieson.co.uk/shop/wild-swimming-book.Honorable mentions from this episode:Reusche glass paint petermcgrain.comFlora's favorite stained  glass artists - Judith Schaechter (Soon to be a guest on Cracked Season 2!)@judithschaechterwww.judithschaechter.comPatrick Reyntiens - patrickreyntiens.comFrans Wesselman - fwstainedglass.co.ukKate Gakenheimer - kategakenheimer.comStuart Low - www.stuartlow.co.ukWilliam Morris - tree of life windowwikipedia.org/wiki/William_MorrisEdward Burne Jones - The annunciation arthistoryproject.comStained glass painting technique book Flora started out with- https://amzn.to/3DLtzgCAnother one she suggests:https://amzn.to/3DMC7UkIntroduction to the basics:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Glass-Painters-Method-Brushes-Paints/dp/1999618904Studio Ghhibli Animation studioghibli.comWild Swimming  illustratorgemmakoomen.com@gemmakoomenFor episodic sponsorship opportunities please email hello@runaglassworks.com.*As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/runaglassworks)

Ep. 14 - As an artist, there's so much mystery around copyright and trademarking your designs and it can all feel very overwhelming, so today I'm talking to a lawyer who specializes in exactly this. Her name is Nicole Swartz and she's going to clear up some of the misconceptions out there and answer your questions. I won't be making a habit of having guests that aren't stained glass artists but I really am seeing and hearing this topic everywhere lately and so this episode is a TIME OUT, everyone set down your tools, and LISTEN.  In fact, if you only listen to only 1 episode of Cracked, THIS SHOULD BE THE ONE. I also encourage you to forward this episode to any of your maker friends who don't do glass because 99% of this information is applicable to their work as well. My wish for each and every one of you is that you never find yourself in a copyright pickle, and after hearing this episode you will have some tools to avoid the headache of a design fight. I actually intended to release this episode much later in the season but after recording it I decided it's just too valuable to keep to myself, I needed to release it as soon as possible. So without further ado...Join me as I crack it all wide open!Follow Nicole on instagram @sproutlaw and her website is sproutlaw.com.For episodic sponsorship opportunities please email hello@runaglassworks.com.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/runaglassworks)

Today in episode 12 I'm joined by Megan McElfresh, she's a third generation stained glass artist, and the wizard behind the curtain aka the executive director of the Stained Glass Association of America. Building a community and connecting people within this niche glass world is something I'm passionate about and a huge reason for starting this podcast. In Megan I found a kindred spirit in those efforts amongst others.From her vantage point she sees us all, from the part time hobbyist to the major studios. BTW did you know that all those huge studios need the small makers to keep this industry alive? It's true, and she's going to explain to us why! The SGAA also has a very cool history of protecting the stained glass industry here in the states, and I think this falls into the category of things we should really know, so Megan is here to enlighten us on that too. She's also an advocate for safety in the studio and I bet something she says today is something that you didn't think of doing or you didn't realize you needed and it could change your life! For real. It did mine. I thought I was being pretty careful and turns out there were some easy -  but major - improvements I needed to make in the studio to protect myself better. Besides being a walking Encyclopedia Britannica Megan is also funny, sweet, and someone I'm now proud to call a friend. Keep listening and you'll see why…Join me as I crack it all wide open!To learn more about the SGAA their instagram is @SGAA_HQ and the website is stainedglass.org.

In ep. 09 I'm joined by Kara Bussey of Glimpse Glass. The queen of floral wreaths, botanical moons and wearable stained glass crowns, she's a natural communicator from her decade working in communications. But now she's now  got her focus on communicating “how to” in her new book, stained glass for beginners. She's also gone viral multiple times with stained glass videos - so we spend a lot of time chatting about what works for engagement in her posts and what doesn't. But putting yourself out there in any way, whether it's a book, social media post or in my case, a podcast, can bring about anxiety and fear of judgement, and Kara very honestly shares with us her experience with that and where she is now on her journey of figuring it all out.

So many of you requested her, so today I'm getting chatty with Ontario witch and stained glass artist Sarah Fitzpatrick of Witch Way Glass Co.

There are no dyes involved in glass colors, the glass is all melted from raw materials in weight proportions just like a recipe; this mix is called 'batch' and generally includes compounds + raw materials that add color (copper, tin, cobalt, gold, etc.)  So that's true for basically all the glass we use for stained glass, and the toxicity isn't really different between the colors - the most toxic part of the process is when the materials are being mixed and the furnaces are being charged as it's a lot of toxic airborne particles floating around. There are issues with emissions from the melting of the materials, but that's typically stuff that can be solved with how the factory is built - although this problem has greatly changed our industry in the US because some of our factories were in the middle of now-thriving cities.  What makes pinks so expensive though is that they burn out way faster than blues & greens - meaning if you melt an entire furnace of a gold-pink glass, you can only use some portion of it before the color burns out, pinks being the shortest of all the colors. Since these colors are meant to be replicable, when the color starts to burn out and doesn't match the color standard, the glass has to be used for something else, or this is what sometimes becomes limited runs."TY Leslie Green of @bespokeglass for this info!The Stained Glass Association of America The Professional Trade Association for Architectural Art GlassSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/runaglassworks)

In Ep. 06 I'm joined by Lauren Wzorek Earl of Szklo Glass. She's known for her modern and minimal glass and mirror work but her life is anything BUT minimal.
