Perceived Value

It's been well over a year since this interview was recorded and it's finally seeing the light of day. Life happens, projects come up, and this wonderful conversation and a handful of others were recorded in 2023/2024 and never released. This backlog of recordings is Season 8 of the podcast, The Light Of Day series.In the 80th episode of Perceived Value, host Sarah Rachel Brown is in Seattle, WA over the Thanksgiving holiday. It's November of 2023, and Sarah has set up her microphones in David Chatt's guest apartment, which she's fortunate to stay in for the week. It's a charming and cozy apartment and reflects David's eye for design and impeccable taste.David and Sarah's friendship has evolved from benefactor/artist to friends to chosen family, and the two begin by sharing how they were brought into each other's lives. David speaks to how his creative practice began, how his parents' talents inspired him, navigating between following his passions and monetizing his abilities, the preciousness of studio time, his relationship with his things, the importance of a good editor, and a fascination for rocks.OUR GUESTI have spent my entire adult life sewing tiny glass beads, one to the next. I have spent as much as a year to create one piece. I am a pioneer, an inventor, and one of a few who have gained recognition for beadwork as a fine art/craft medium. My work has taken me all over the United States and abroad as a lecturer, exhibitor, and teacher, and is included in public and private collections, including a recent acquisition by The Smithsonian's Renwick Museum. My achievements have been chronicled in books and periodicals, and in 2006 my career was recognized with a retrospective at the Bellevue Arts Museum. I have received a number of awards, including the grand prize at the 2020 Ireland Glass Biennale. In 2006 I accepted a three-year residency at Penland School of Crafts where I built a hot glass studio and studied ladle-cast glass. At the end of this residency, I returned to working with beads, but struggling with tools that were unfamiliar and allowing myself to consider other ways of working was invaluable. The time I spent living in this community and taking a break from my usual way of working, offered me an opportunity to think differently. The process of becoming adept at something, which challenged me, also made me a better teacher. I am planning to move permanently to the Penland area this spring.davidchatt.comsiennapatti.comRATE AND REVIEW US ON APPLE PODCASTS OR WHEREVER YOU LISTEN!SUPPORT PERCEIVED VALUE!www.patreon.com/perceivedvaluewww.perceivedvaluepodcast.com/how-to-support-donate/Instagram + Facebook: @perceivedvalueFind your Host:Instagram: @sarahrachelbrownThe music you hear on Perceived Value is by the Seattle group Song Sparrow Research.All You Need to Know off of their album Sympathetic Buzz.

Each meal is an opportunity to sit next to a stranger and potentially meet a new friend - or podcast guest.After enjoying a few meals and conversations, Sarah asked Zahra Almajidi if she would be willing to come on the podcast. The two metalsmiths sat down to discuss Zahra's upbringing and why her family immigrated to the United States, the benefits of living with your parents while going to college, and if it's possible to appropriate a culture that is your own while living in the diaspora.Speaking of Penland….Western North Carolina was devastated by Hurricane Helene.

MORE ABOUT OUR GUEST:Ada del Pilar Ortiz Berríos (b.1995 Barranquitas, Puerto Rico) is a visual artist and educator. Her artistic practice interacts with sculptural processes that explore issues within the architectural condition, the meaning of home, the remains of built space and their relationship with memory. Through her work she reflects on how these concepts shape us in the place we inhabit from its physicality and the one that resides in us from memory -both concrete and malleable- as part of our formation, establishing a link between the reality of a place and the imagined one. Ada del Pilar obtained her BFA with a concentration in Painting from the School of Fine Arts and Design of Puerto Rico in 2018. Her work has been presented individually and collectively in spaces such as the Arsenal de la Puntilla Museum, El Kilómetro Gallery, Embajada Gallery, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Puerto Rico and the Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural & Educational Center in New York, among others. She has participated in residencies including Área: Programa de Residencias (2019), “La Práctica” interdisciplinary program at Beta Local (2019), The Studios at MASS MoCA, Puerto Rico Artist Fellowship (2023) and Penland School of Crafts Winter Residency (2024). Her work has been commissioned by the Museum of Contemporary Art of Puerto Rico under the "MAC en el Barrio" program. Ada's work has been supported by the Foundation for Contemporary Arts and CATAPULT: "A Caribbean Arts Grant" programme.

In the 70th episode of Perceived Value, host Sarah Rachel Brown is in Seattle, WA, spending the Thanksgiving holiday with her older brother, Benton Brown. For years, the two have talked about recording an interview, and they are finally in the same place and on the same page.In recent years, Sarah and Ben have put in the effort to strengthen their relationship. Raised primarily separately, Ben with their father in Oklahoma and Sarah with their mother in Iowa, the two siblings are still learning who each other has become in adulthood. However, regardless of their separate upbringings in very different environments, they have many talents and passions in common- an example of the long-standing debate of nature vs. nurture. The two siblings discuss how Ben became a multi-talented artist and graphic designer, the importance of not letting your loyalty get in the way of your growth, finding a job when you don't expect it, and being the one who's better.

In the 64th episode of Perceived Value host Sarah Rachel Brown shares an interview that took place this past May in Philadelphia. Before the interview, your host gives an update on how her big shift to full-time freelancing has been going since that time. It's only fair she shares about her own transition, right? Today's guest is Adrienne Manno, a Philadelphia creative whose brand Feast Sarah had admired and been following prior to connecting with Manno. The two Philadelphians sat down to discuss what brought Adrienne to Philadelphia, her background in apparel design, what holding a job for over 16 years entails, and what it's like transitioning out of a role you've held for so long. ABOUT OUR GUESTFeast was born out of the nostalgia of making.Jewelry has always been a love-language used by Adrienne throughout her life, marking travel adventures and honoring family heirlooms.

In the 62nd episode of Perceived Value host Sarah Rachel Brown sits down with American Craft Council board trustee Tom Loeser. Sarah and Tom's paths crossed at an event and their conversation quickly turned to discussing Tom's experience serving on a nonprofit board. Having recently took interest in working on a board, Sarah did not hesitate to ask for an interview. A few months later the two artists connected to discuss what a nonprofit board is and how it is structured, what does serving on a board means monetarily-wise, why one would want to serve, what the board can do for you, and ways in which nonprofit boards such as the ACC can work towards creating a more diverse group of trustees.Become a Perceived Value Patron on Patreon.

Season 05 of Perceived Value is all about transitions and begins with host Sarah Rachel Brown in conversation with artist and photographer Helen Maurene Cooper. Sarah and Cooper connected at a time when both women were (and still are) navigating transitions in their professional lives and working towards financial autonomy.The two Philadelphia-based artists sat down in Cooper's 19th century inspired Fishtown Studio to discuss her experience formalizing her commercial and commissioned work under the name Vanity Tintype to begin her own business. Their conversation delves into understanding the value of one's time and properly charging for it, what exactly a tintype is, the pleasure of being a choosy business owner, and Cooper fills Sarah in on what a blue chip artist is.

Over the past year Sarah Rachel Brown has been collaborating with American Craft Magazine to bring the Object As... Project from the pages of the magazine to your podcast feeds. The first episode launches APRIL 15th through the American Craft Podcast feed. Enjoy this sneak peak into what the project entails and subscribe now to American Craft Podcast. Object As... Objects speak to our current cultural, political, societal, environmental, and social climates. Objects can serve as a form of resistance, as commentary on today's world's issues. Objects can be acts of rebellion, civic disruption, and speak to the future. Objects can create new conversations. Six artists were commissioned to create an object to carry ideas that are relevant to them today. Through one-on-one interviews with host Sarah Rachel Brown, you will hear each artist speak to how these objects came into being and what they mean to the maker. This project is just one part of a larger effort to use our organization's platforms and channels of communication to help illuminate and dismantle systemic racism, oppression, global warming, political issues, and continue exploring how the practices of craft can help build a better world for everyone. Let the conversations begin!

PISTACHIOS NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!In 2021, Jessica, the gallery’s owner, made the decision to run as a fully virtual gallery, closing the downtown Chicago location until a new space will be found.to help her get back on track and to reopen a new Chicago location, she’s currently in the process of trying to get a grant through the COVID Rescue Fund.You can show the gallery support by making a minimum donation of $5 HERE. More about COVID Rescue Fund: The Covid Rescue Fund awards grants up to $100,000 based on a monthly vote and the finances of the business that the applicant lost. Grants are awarded monthly. To maximize a business’ chances of getting the grant, they need as many people to vote on their behalf as possible. As this podcast is being released, I am very excited to announce that the voting for the month of May is closed and Pistachios is one of the businesses that will be awarded a grant. What Pistachios needs now is donations because the grant matches the money the small business is able to secure whether that be through loans or donations. *************************************************SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST!

With this project, the aim is to support residents with professional development as well as exposing residents to the multiplicity of possibilities that exist within a craft discourse. The outcome will be to give residents better tools and information on opportunities and structures to support young careers, while providing unrestricted financial support. Building upon the expertise and pool of knowledge of the presenters, the Fulcrum Project residency provides residents with diverse and valuable resources, varying from practical and foundational proffesionalization strategies - such as bio, cv writing, portfolio compiling,... -, to more advanced conceptual discussions. As a result, residents gain [or improve existing] skills with which they will be able to use or subvert as they will have gained a better understanding of possibilities to make decisions with more rounded understanding of unconventional possibilities and paths to build a practice. This format is inspired by Felipe Castelblanco’s parasitic university program, and shares an interest in using institutional resources to better a community at large.Instagrams:@the_fulcrum_project@matt_lambert_studio@feather_chiaverini Donations to The Fulcrum Project: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10KQh3TNYIKmooz2ZkwxM8vfLH6qq1u1RBx4Rc5t6agI/edit?usp=sharing Further Reading/listening from/by/with matt:This is Where We MeetA publication from the MA in Critical Craft at Warren Wilson that matt was an assistant editor and provided a contributing essay A Queer Consideration of Dirt and the Importance of Tending (located on p.219) digitally viewable in entirety and for hard copy purchase here:https://www.macraftstudieswwc.com/publication-vol-1-20182020 Nicholas Mirzoeff in Conversation with matt lambertListen here for a discussion on decolonizing national museums:https://soundcloud.com/user-79249665/matt-lambert-paired-conversation Matt Lambert in conversation with Máret Ánne Sara about nomadism, indigenous rights and colonialismRecognizing ground: where indigenous and queer practices meethttp://www.norwegiancrafts.no/articles/recognizing-ground-where-indigenous-and-queer-practices-meet Upcoming:Desire Paths @ The Center for Craft curated by Lauren Kalman and matt lamberthttps://www.centerforcraft.org/news/the-center-for-craft-announces-curatorial-fellows

About the curators:Manuela Jimenez and Kendra Pariseault studied together at the Rhode Island School of Design and are both interested in exploring themes regarding social media and how it influences our work and our public versus private lives. They are curious about how exposing one’s process through social media outlets can inform an artist’s work. Throughout their careers, Manuela and Kendra have worked in both the commercial jewelry industry as well as in the fine arts world and have seen the spectrum of where these two fields connect and differ. Within this experience they have encountered the many ways in which the public perceives the process of the handmade versus the manufactured, the curiosity towards both processes, and the ways in which social media is now exposing these previous unknowns. Through #fail #success they would like to bring together artists who are using social media as a platform to celebrate their process of making.Instagram Handles:@kendrapariseault and @kendrapariseaultjewelry@manuelajimenezr@iconsatplayParticipants of #fail#success NYCJW 2018@emikooreware @kurtpio @georginatrevino @franziskastetter @mlleguillaume @friendshipparadox_work @friendshipparadox @bryanparnham @arthur_hash @huhsena @ameliatoelke @_mallory_weston_ @_emily_cobb @silviaardilajewelry @sam____tyson @holdensc @lazyliberty @camila_escobar_velez @na_manu @instagrama123 @mariatriticoDon't forget to Rate AND Review us on iTunes!SUPPORT PERCEIVED VALUE!www.patreon.com/perceivedvaluewww.perceivedvaluepodcast.com/how-to-support-donate/Want a chance on the mic?

Hi, I’m Meera. I’m a mutt of a maker working in paints, textiles, paper, hair, wire, semi-precious stones, words, stories, and bars. I’ve done murals and sign-painting, costumes and face-painting, crowns and upholstery, hair tattoos and stick-and-pokes, joke-book editing, pirate-radio bedtime stories, and so far - one wedding dress.
