Guillermo del Toro had been waiting almost all his life to make Frankenstein. “He's wanted to make this movie since he was a little boy,” production designer Tamara Deverell tells Ankler Media deputy editor Christopher Rosen on the latest episode of Art & Crafts. For del Toro, the story of Frankenstein is foundational. “It's in all my movies,” the Oscar-winning director behind The Shape of Water and Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio said in an interview last year. He's talked openly about how the film's de facto father-son relationship between Dr. Victor Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac) and the creature he creates (Oscar nominee Jacob Elordi) was influenced by the relationship del Toro had with his father. “I'm finding out things about his process that I didn't know, that I maybe I didn't need to know,” Deverell says about her journey with the project, which first debuted at the Venice Film Festival in August and is now an Oscar nominee for best picture, as well as production design for Deverell and set decorator Shane Vieau, among nine overall nominations. “This movie is such a personal thing for him, and I'm interested to see what he's going to do next. Because Frankenstein is a tough act to follow.”

Rick Beck's modern cast and carved figurative glass sculptures are inspired by industrial and architectural works as well as the human form, with an emphasis on formal aspects. Interested in playing the volumes of mass against the rhythm of the lines, Beck enjoys the interplay of the visual versus the verbal, creating art that challenges the eye as well as the mind. Beck states: "My wife, Valerie, got me a book about the competitive relationship between Picasso and Matisse. Their artistic dialogue about the figure has fired my imagination, especially the way they shared and borrowed images and ideas from one another, as well as from history and literature. Between this book and visits to the Art Institute of Chicago, I've been inspired by the use of shape, form, and mass to create something more universal than the literal subject." A studio artist who was based in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, for 30 years before moving to Hawaii in 2020, Beck began working in glass at Hastings College in Nebraska, where he received his BA. The artist received his MFA from Southern Illinois University, where he studied with Bill Boysen. He was awarded residencies at the Appalachian Center for Crafts 1989 to 1991, and in 1994 received a Visual Arts Fellowship from the North Carolina Arts Council, followed by a National Endowment for the Arts regional Visual Arts Fellowship from the Southern Arts Federation in 1995. A student of the Studio Glass movement, Beck has assisted at Pilchuck Glass School, assisting artists Curtiss Brock and Jan Mares, as well as at the Penland School of Craft. Beck currently shares a studio with wife Valerie Thomas Beck in Hakalau, Hawaii. Valerie has been a designer and co-conspirator to Rick since 1984. Both artists have been artists-in-residence at Penland School of Crafts, North Carolina, (1991-94) and have also been instructors there. Their blown glass work consists mainly of vessels – canvasses for imagery based on dreams and experiences ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous. These vessels document their lives while providing beauty and pleasure. Since moving to the Big Island, Beck's challenge in making glass work is two-fold. First, to create work without using fossil fuels or adding to the demand for capacity on the electrical grid. Their new studio is powered by a solar/photo voltaic and battery system. Second, to create work that excites and challenges his concepts of art inside these new energy parameters. For him, formal aspects are crucial. Beck stretches and manipulates common shapes and objects, reducing the objects to pattern and geometry. Currently, he is producing work focusing on the geometry of life, plant, and human forms. Beck's work will be on view in 2026 at Blue Print Gallery, Dallas, Texas, opening February 26; at Hidell Brooks Gallery, Charlotte, North Carolina, in May; at Blue Spiral 1 group show, Asheville, North Carolina; and at Ken Saunders, Chicago, Illinois. His work is also represented by Raven Gallery, Aspen, Colorado.

In this episode, filmmaker Alex Domenici joins us to discuss his horror short Never Let You Go.The film follows a woman whose abusive ex-boyfriend reaches from beyond the grave to bind them together through an occult ritual.Alex shares how he invested most of his life savings into the production, building elaborate sets and shooting in real caves outside Los Angeles.We explore the film's themes of trauma, supernatural horror, and what it means to be trapped by the past both physically and spiritually.Alex discusses his 20-year journey in filmmaking and why this is the first film he's truly proud of.He opens up about working with top-tier sound designers at Sony Studios, the challenges of practical effects, and the emotional toll of bringing psychological horror to life.We also dive into his other films including Call from Kelly, The Clapper, and Arts and Crafts.Alex talks about imposter syndrome, manifestation, and the pressure of betting everything on a single project.The film premiered at Screamfest at the TCL Chinese Theatre before being released on ALTER's YouTube channel in January 2026.This is a raw, honest conversation about independent horror filmmaking, creative obsession, and refusing to compromise your vision.ALEX DOMENICIInstagram (Personal):https://www.instagram.com/alex__domenici/Instagram (Never Let You Go Film):https://www.instagram.com/neverletyougo_film/YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@AlexDomeniciIMDb:https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7503436/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-domenici-127314109Email:adomenici50@gmail.comWATCH ALEX DOMENICI'S FILMSNever Let You Go (2024) - FREE on ALTER YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh0nBbt3qKkCall from Kelly (2023) - FREE on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROzjqNHe8oQThe Clapper (2019) - FREE on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9lclBwaFa8Arts & Crafts (2016) - Available on Alex's YouTube ChannelSUPPORT THE DARK MIND PODCASTPatreon:https://www.patreon.com/c/thedarkmindpodcast

A major new exhibition in the heart of Washington celebrates the artistic achievements of native American women with more than 80 works of art.华盛顿市中心举办了一场大型新展览,展出了80多件艺术作品,以颂扬美国原住民女性的艺术成就。Hearts of Our People: Native Women Artists is the first exhibit of its kind,Hearts of Our People: Native Women Artists是该类型的首个展览,says Anya Montiel, curator of American and Native American Women's Art and Crafts at the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.史密森尼美国艺术博物馆伦威克美术馆的美洲及原住民女性艺术与工艺策展人安雅·蒙蒂尔表示。There have been other exhibitions in the past that have featured only native women artists, but those exhibitions tended to feature contemporary art.过去也曾有其他展览专门展示原住民女性艺术家的作品,但这些展览往往以当代艺术为主。So the curators of this show, they wanted to make sure that this exhibition is comprehensive in the timespan as well as including many different artistic mediums as possible.本次展览的策展人希望确保展览在时间跨度上全面涵盖,并尽可能包含多种不同的艺术媒介。Those mediums range from paintings, textiles and sculptures to baskets and even wearable art.这些媒介包括绘画、纺织品、雕塑、篮子,甚至还有可穿戴艺术。The exhibit explores three central themes: legacy, relationship and power.该展览探讨了三个核心主题:传承、关系和权力。Legacy is really talking about continuum. A lot of these artists have learned these traditions from their ancestors.传承实际上是在探讨延续性。许多艺术家从他们的祖先那里继承了这些传统。Adorned with teeth from hunted elk, it took many years to gather enough to decorate a single dress.这件衣服用猎获的麋鹿牙齿装饰,要花好多年才能收集到足够数量来点缀一件衣裳。So you have this dress that is put together by the women of the family, but with this beautiful decoration, that really shows the legacy of the entire family.你有一件由家族女性共同缝制的连衣裙,而且上面有精美的装饰 ,这真的展现了整个家族的传承。The theme of relationship represents the connection between humans and the earth.关系的主题象征着人类与地球之间的纽带。This one is called Wisdom of the Universe by Christi Belcourt. And it looks like beadwork, but it's actually all painting in acrylic.这幅作品名为《宇宙的智慧》,作者是克里斯蒂·贝尔科特。它看起来像珠绣作品,但实际上全是丙烯画。And upon closer inspection, the insects, the birds and the plants are actually endangered species, and so it's really presenting to us what are we gonna do about this.再仔细观察就会发现,这些昆虫、鸟类和植物实际上都是濒危物种,这真的向我们展示了我们该怎么做。The theme of power speaks to the authority of native women within their nations.权力的主题体现了原住民女性在其民族内部的权威。Especially for the Muscogee Creek, they are matrilineal nation. The women were the ones who made the decisions, especially about whether or not they were gonna go to war.尤其是穆斯科吉人,他们是母系社会。做决定的是女性,尤其是关于是否要发动战争的决定。Visitors to the exhibit had an emotional response. The last piece I was just looking at had a scar from a woman's shoulder to her hip, and the trauma of the culture that has been really traumatized by another was extremely impactful.参观展览的观众产生了情感共鸣。我刚才看的最后一件作品描绘了一个女人从肩膀到臀部的伤疤,而那种深受另一种文化创伤影响的文化所带来的冲击极其强烈。The one over there with the girl and the scar in the back that was really powerful. I don't know. It's just like, I almost wanted to cry when I saw it.那边有个女孩,后背有一道伤疤,真的给我很强烈的冲击。不知道为什么,我看到它的时候差点哭了。And that's the point of this exhibit, expose people to the variety of artwork created by native American women who may never have received the credit they deserve.这就是本次展览的意义所在,让大众有机会欣赏到那些可能从未获得应有认可的原住民女性艺术家所创作的丰富多样的艺术作品。This exhibition has so many testaments of these women saying that despite everything that's happened to native women, the cultures and the traditions are still so strong.这场展览中有许多来自这些女性的证言,她们表示尽管原住民女性遭遇了种种磨难,但文化与传统依然坚韧不衰。This touring exhibit remains in Washington until May. 该巡回展览将在华盛顿展出到五月。

The official announcement of Crows by MCDM Productions, a new dungeon-crawling RPG led by James Introcaso appeared on Patreon. The game uses D6s and D10s, features a health system tied to inventory slots similar to Knave, and determines experience points based on the value of loot collected. It differs from a previous project, Draw Steel, by including potential negative results on the “power roll” but allows unlimited circumstantial bonuses for good planning. Crows also includes a base-building component where players develop their headquarters town and is set in a world where Archmages, corrupted by their magic, disappeared after warring as Necromancers. Undergoblin Heist by Hit Point Press is a hardcover adventure available with six accompanying miniatures. This wild sandbox goblin adventure is compatible with both Dungeons & Dragons 2024 Edition and Dungeon Crawl Classics. The players take on the role of the “Grotty Jacknives,” expert sneak-goblins tasked by Boss Soot to steal three magical artifacts from a cabbage goblin village. The adventure includes pre-generated characters, new species/class rules, a new spell, and a goblin Critical Hits table, and is written by Thom Denick with art and design by Bee Ho. The “Magic: The Gathering’s newest Secret Lair” drop, titled ‘Prints Charming,’ was released on February 2 as a “Chaos Vault” experiment by Wizards of the Coast. The collection is a quartet of green spells with different illustration styles, but its unusual aspect is the variable pricing tiers. Instead of a fixed price, the drop was offered at multiple points, ranging from a low of $9.99 up to $39.99 (and a foil version up to $49.99), ostensibly to test how much fans value the product. Despite the secondary market value of the cards being around $6, the experiment yielded bizarre sales results, with the most expensive $49.99 foil edition selling out earlier than the cheaper $29.99 foil edition, indicating some buyers were voluntarily paying more. The article speculates this could be due to hopes for a secret bonus card, automated bots, or individuals opting for a higher price to leave cheaper options for others. Orcs & Crafts Zine, a Kickstarter project focused on miniature terrain building rather than a game itself. The zine aims to teach the basics of creating miniature worlds, with the first 60-page issue focusing on cardboard foundations and requiring only basic tools like scissors and a hobby knife. The project emphasizes accessibility, creative control, and using everyday materials. It is supported by a team of “Orc assistants” like Crathar (Chief Crafting Officer for advanced tips), Painscar (focused on safety), and Bob (providing basic tips). The zine includes planning guides, technique breakdowns (e.g., wood planks, hills), step-by-step building instructions (e.g., Simple Cardboard Tree, Ruined Gnomish Distillery), and even unique movie recommendations from Martin for background crafting entertainment. #crowsrpg #undergoblin #eeldenring #orcsandcrafts Undergoblin Heist – 5e D&D (Hardcover) – Hit Point Press https://hitpointpress.com/products/under-goblin-heist-5e-d-d-hardcover Orcs and Crafts Zine: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/game-machinery/orcs-crafts-zine Call of Cthulhu Bundle: https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/Xmz13G Free Guild Ball Starter Set: https://steamforged.com/products/guild-ball-starter-kit Warmachine on MyMiniFactory: https://mmf.io/upturned Mantic Companion App: https://companion.manticgames.com/ Use our Referral code: MCTXEE Support us by Shopping at Miniature Market (afilliate link): https://miniature-market.sjv.io/K0yj7n Support Us by Shopping on DTRPG (afilliate link): https://www.drivethrurpg.com?affiliate_id=2081746 Matt’s DriveThruRPG Publications: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?author=Matthew%20Robinson https://substack.com/@matthewrobinson3 Chris on social media: https://hyvemynd.itch.io/ Jeremy's Links: http://www.abusecartoons.com/ http://www.rcharvey.com Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/upturnedtable Give us a tip on our livestream: https://streamlabs.com/upturnedtabletop/tip Donate or give us a tip on Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/2754JZFW2QZU4 Intro song is “Chips” by KokoroNoMe https://kokoronome.bandcamp.com/

They can also significantly increase life satisfaction.Delaware Public Media's Abigail Lee sat down with University of Delaware's Center for Counseling and Student Development associate clinician Brooke Kohler to talk about the growing interest in granny crafts among young people.

...in which we head south over a snowy Dunmail Raise to immerse ourselves in the world of Arts and Crafts at Blackwell. In the company of Niall Hodson, Keeper of Collections at Lakeland Arts, we start our conversation taking a long view over wintry Windermere and the context in which the Arts & Crafts movement emerged – the rise of mass production in the Victorian age. Paying homage to John Ruskin – over the hill in Coniston – we consider the polymath visionary's founding contribution to a movement that encompassed social justice, art and architecture, and the impact of his iconic treatise The Stones of Venice that called for traditional craftsmanship, simplicity and the use of natural materials in everything from furniture to buildings. Entering Blackwell, we are immersed in the movement made real, with immaculately detailed stonework, wood carvings, floor tiles, stained glass and wallpaper showcasing the creative talents of dozens of local craftspeople, all designed into a coherent rural retreat for the wealthy Holt family of Manchester. Wandering through room after enchanting room, we meet two more key figures whose lives are intertwined with the house: William Morris – the revolutionary designer, craftsman, social activist, and founder of Morris & Co – and Blackwell architect Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott, whose extraordinary vision gave rise to one of Lakeland's finest, and most eccentric, houses. In divers quickfire ramblings that take in pubs, breweries and stag do's, we proceed into Blackwell's recent past, and its second life as an evacuees' boarding school, before closing by considering the legacy of one of the country's most important arts movements – as relevant as ever in the age of AI. Blackwell is open from now until 31 March: Monday – Saturday 10am – 4pm, then 1 April – 31 October: Monday to Saturday 10am – 5pm. The house is currently exhibiting 'Frances Priest Motif | Line | Colour' until 11 April, 2026. Explore the ceramic work of celebrated Edinburgh-based artist Frances Priest in an exhibition tracing 25 years of her artistic work.

To be able to make art from antlers takes a lot of talent. Nick Jeffries is an avid hunter, family guy, outdoorsman, shed hunter, and loves to build antlers into custom Chandeliers. As I'm at his shop to pick up one of his works of art, I decided to do a podcast with him to get to know him more. He shares his experience serving in the Marine Corps Infantry, along with what got him into this passion, from starting as a hobby, and turning it into a business. We share some fun hunting stories, and much more. If you are interested in an antler chandelier for yourself, get in contact with him.

Send us a textFor many makers, opportunities to focus solely on creative exploration—without the pressure to produce work for sale or prove our worth through finished pieces—feel impossibly rare or reserved for those along a traditional academic path. When you discovered your craft later in life, already juggling mortgages and responsibilities you can't simply walk away from, where do you turn for intentional study and community that actually fits your reality? Craft schools exist outside traditional academia, offering experiences from weekend workshops to multi-week residencies that welcome makers at every stage—and in celebration of Haystack Mountain School of Crafts' 75th anniversary, Perry Price shares what makes these singular learning experiences so transformative.In this episode: Perry Price @haystack_schoolLove this podcast?
