Jason Christian's work pushes the boundaries of his craft, combining the delicate complexity of reticello with intricate detailing inspired by Fabergé eggs. Through series such as his Bumbershoots and Yo-Yos that reflect classic Venetian technique to more sculptural works including Dragons and Volpe, Christian's art is deeply influenced by his family, personal experiences, and the nostalgia of growing up in the Pacific Northwest. A renowned glass artist based in the Seattle area, Christian was born in 1976 on Whidbey Island, Washington, to a metal fabricator and a cardiac nurse. His artistic journey began at the age of 21 when he was introduced to glassblowing as a factory charger, where he gradually developed his skills and knowledge through hands-on experience. His formal education in glassblowing includes workshops and classes with notable artists such as Pino Signoretto, Jeff Mack, Janusz Pozniak and Preston Singletary. Throughout his career, Christian has worked with numerous well-known artists in the Seattle glass community, including Martin Blank, Preston Singletary, James Mongrain and Nancy Callan. Since 2008, Christian has been an integral member of Dale Chihuly's Boathouse team, working with international artists like Pino Signoretto. He has also served as a glassblowing assistant to Lino Tagliapietra since 2014 and worked as a fabricator for Lindsey Adelman from 2014 to 2016. Says Christian: “I still don't know if I chose glassblowing or if it chose me. I just knew that the moment I walked into that studio and saw what was being created I had to be a part of it. Finding glassblowing felt magical, like I was made for it. It provided something I lacked in my younger years – the urge to create, grow, and express myself through my work. To witness a person handle molten glass, manipulate it, and form it as if it were water was amazing to me. I knew that I had to be a part of it.” Christian has participated in numerous artist residencies, including: FOCI, Minneapolis, MI (2019); Corning Museum of Glass, Corning, NY (2019); Pilchuck Glass School, Stanwood, WA (multiple years); Museum of Glass, Tacoma, WA (2016 and 2008); University of Texas at Arlington (2015); and the University of Wisconsin-Steven's Point (2015). He was Auction Centerpiece Designer at Schack Art Center, Everett, WA, in 2016 and 2010. His work is featured in several notable collections including the Hauberg collection, the Elton John collection, the Ben Bridge collection and many more private collections in the United States and Canada. With a desire to share his expertise through teaching and demonstrations, Christian has conducted workshops at various institutions including Penland School of Craft (2019); Pittsburgh Glass Center (2019); Pratt Fine Arts Center (2018); Pilchuck Glass School (2017); Urban Glass (2016); and Seattle Glassblowing Studio (2010-2013); He has also been a demonstrating artist in Turkey (2015) and Finland (2009). Christian states: “Beyond my relationship with glass, the camaraderie within the industry enticed me to grow beyond myself, always looking for what was within and turning that into something I could only see in my mind. It created an environment of growth and exploration, pushing me to be a better artist.” Upcoming Christian workshops include Penland School of Craft, August 10 – 15; Hilltop @ Pilchuck, September 28; and Neusole Glassworks, Forest Park, Ohio, November 17.  

Greg and Ed discuss something that is more common than many people think: being wrong about expecting some Thai government project or initiative to fail. It's pretty easy, as expats often fall into the rut of cynicism about the Thai government sticking to a plan and actually getting stuff done, but the truth is, Thailand sometimes gets stuff right!  Greg begins by bringing up Benjakitti Forest Park. It replaced the Thai Tobacco Monopoly, which occupied prime real estate between Sukhumvit and Rama IV for many years. When Greg heard it was going to be made into a giant public park, he was like, “Yeah right, it's gonna get taken over by mall and condo developers,” but lo and behold, the majestic Forest Park is now there for Bangkokers to see and enjoy, and has been written about in publications around the world. Ed follows with something different: when he heard about the epic scale of the COVID vaccine rollout in Thailand, he thought it would be widely inefficient with day-long queues. In fact, it was shockingly professional, and he was in and out of there in 30 minutes!  Greg continues with a story about the eventual success of the Thai Elite Card, and Ed follows with a discussion of electronic banking in Thailand and the unexpected return of the Shinawatra clan to Thai politics.  Lesson learned: Don't fall into the cynicism trap!

On this episode of You Have to Wear Something, Nicole sits down with John Nichols—aka LaJethroJenkins—host of the long-running Jenkins & Jonez podcast and founder of 12 on Mondays, a brand reclaiming space for Black golfers through culture, community, and unapologetic style. From his St. Louis roots to Forest Park history, John unpacks the legacy of Black golf pioneers, how fashion disrupts elitism in the sport, and why the best rounds aren't measured by scorecards—but by vibes.

Sharon Evans AKA @freewheelingkiwi shares her story of solo tramping the Mangamate Loop in Whirinaki Forest Park. After years away from multi-day hiking alone and logistics to sort, she spent three days on the trail -with stream crossings, freezing nights and full huts. But a magic moment hearing wild kiwi call in the bush made it all worth it. Sharon offers honest advice for beginners, practical gear tips, and a reminder that solo adventures and expeditions are less about strength and more about mindset. She also touches on hiking Te Araroa and staying authentic on social media.Discover the best of New Zealand with my NZ Map & Guide, featuring 100+ incredible locations for your next adventure.

For more than 100 year, St. Louis audiences have attended musical theater productions each summer at The Muny in Forest Park. We go behind the scenes to see what is involved in putting on these intricate productions.

Today on Black Dragon Biker TV: Sin City Deciples: Most Violent Club? Court records and federal indictments are painting a chilling picture of the Sin City Deciples MC—a club some prosecutors are now calling “one of the most violent biker gangs in the country.” Founded as a Black motorcycle club, the Deciples later integrated to include white and Hispanic members, growing to thousands nationwide. Shockingly, one of the club's alleged members was a police chaplain in Gary, Indiana, according to prosecutors. The Chicago Sun-Times recently released a bombshell report exposing the inner workings of the club's leadership, Chicago-area operations, and the sweeping indictments aimed at taking the organization down. With new eyes on the club's activities and structure, questions are being raised about the club's legacy and future. Also in today's episode: the third Outcast MC member connected to the Forest Park shooting has now turned himself in and is scheduled to face a judge on July 9th. In this episode, we discuss: The explosive allegations against the Sin City Deciples MC How the club rose to national prominence and controversy Law enforcement's strategy to dismantle the organization Updates on the Outcast MC case and court proceedings Join Black Dragon, Lavish T. Williams, and Logic as we break down these major headlines, analyze the legal implications, and ask the tough questions no one else will.Please consider sponsoring the channel by signing up for our channel memberships.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit chadcrouch.substack.comMore than once in recent conversations I've revealed I'm not all that fond of Summer. The response has been interesting: incredulous laughter; a bemused disbelief. Why? Explain, they seemed to say.Maybe you recall the sleeper hit “Heatwaves” by Glass Animals that was ubiquitous in the Summer of 2022? There's a line that I always misheard: Heat waves been fakin' me outCan't make you happier now…Well, I always thought it was heat waves been freakin' me out, because that made perfect sense to me. The year before, in late June 2021, the US Pacific Northwest experienced a Heat Dome event that shattered all kinds of records. It reached 116 degrees Fahrenheit here in Portland, Oregon. It sparked wildfires, warped train tracks, and contributed to a heat-related death toll of over 1400 people in the greater geographic area including Canada. Over 70 heat-related deaths occurred in the county I live in.I rarely enjoy feeling hot. The smell of forest fires provokes an adrenaline flight response that requires distinctly modern reasoning to suppress. The cabin fever that settles in after multiple bad air days due to wildfire smoke produces a profound feeling of disassociation. Smoky skies were until recently thought to be a western US state phenomenon, but that seems to up for debate now.The anticipation of these sensations as markers of Summer, often arriving earlier in the season each year, just makes me wish I could skip to fall. These are a couple of the reasons I don't entirely look forward to summer.Nevertheless, apart from two days with temperatures in the 90's, it's been a mild and dry June here. Temperature-wise, it's felt more or less in line with an average end to spring in the Pacific Northwest, which is to say, lovely. Highs have hovered in the low 70's.Back in Forest park, baby bird voices can be heard seemingly around every other bend along the trails. Baby bird sounds are imbued with so much joy, new life, and vulnerability. You'll get better looks at the parents too, as they dart through the shrubs and understory defensively. American Robins can be seen hopping along the trail in front of you in an apparent defensive distraction behavior to protect a nearby nest. In this way, it is a season of being on guard for the birds too. The trills of Pacific Wrens overlap at intervals. Their effusive song is sweetened by the columnar structure of the conifer woodlands. I picture the frenetic notes of their song like pinballs bouncing off bumpers, scattering through the understory, arriving at my ears in a wash.At the 16-minute mark we hear a Stellar's Jay practicing its Red-tailed Hawk imitation. It must be a youngster because it calls again and again, not quite getting it right. Summer officially starts on June 21st, the day after this recording is released. All but the deepest creek canyons have already dried up in Forest Park. A wildfire 75 miles east of here destroyed 56 homes in the Columbia Gorge community of Rowena, Oregon last week. As I sit here writing this, it's 34% contained. This news is just one of many developments in that time span to absorb, consider, and file away in my mental model of the world.I was out near where this soundscape was recorded last week, doing some plein air sketching and recording. It was so serene. When the world can feel overwhelming, it's nice to just have something to do with your hands, something to focus on in the present, something to contemplate with a sense of wonder.Happy Summer Solstice. Thanks for being here; for listening and reading. Forest Spring Suite is available under the artist name Listening Spot on all streaming platforms Friday, June 20th.

MUSIC The Muny opened its 107th season this week with Bring It On: The Musical, which stars Kennedy Holmes, a Florissant native who rose to fame on NBC's The Voice in 2018, where she finished as a finalist in fourth place. This new season opened despite the tornadoes that Forest Park endured, where a tree crushed the venue's pre-show stage, and luckily No major structural harm was reported, and thanks to an enormous citywide effort, opening night never had to be postponed. For the first time ever, three of the Beatles' offspring have collaborated on a song. Sean Lennon, James McCartney, and Zak Starkey posted part of their song, "Rip Off". From Starkey's band Mantra of the Cosmos titled "Rip Off" featuring Paul McCartney's son James and John Lennon's son Sean on vocals. TV Eric Dane from "Grey's Anatomy" sat for an interview with Diane Sawyer to discuss his battle with ALS . . . also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Eric revealed that he has only "one functioning arm." Quote, "My left side is functioning, my right side has completely stopped working. Martha Stewart recently rescued three orphaned squirrels. “They were inside a fallen tree,” Stewart said of how she discovered them. MOVING ON INTO MOVIE NEWS: Al Pacino met Pope Leo at the Vatican, as Pacino was a part of a delegation from the film Maserati: The Brothers.Will Smith turned down Christopher Nolan's offer to be in the blockbuster film, Inception. The first full trailer for the "Naked Gun" remake with Liam Neeson is out. Pamela Anderson is featured in a couple sight gags.

In 2013, she had to go to court with a neighbor who wasn't cool with the two that she had on her property. She said, quote, "They're loyal, they're big, they're completely socialized, they're licensed, they're legal for me to have them, and I love them!"2. Kirstie Alley: Before she died, she owned 14 lemurs . . . which she fell in love with while doing conservation work in Madagascar.3. Salma Hayek: She adopted a rescue owl in 2019. Her name is Kering, after a company Salma's husband owns. She says, quote, "[She's often] on my head or my shoulder, my arms. Sometimes, when she is really close to me, I can feel her rubbing against me, which is really nice. And I feel so blessed."4. Paris Hilton: Years ago, she got herself a little rainforest mammal called a kinkajou. She named it Baby Luv. In 2006, she had to get a tetanus shot after it bit her. At one point she actually owned two of them.5. Leonardo DiCaprio: In 2010, he attended the North American Reptile Breeders Conference and Trade Show . . . and left with a 10-year-old tortoise. There's no word if he still has it, but they can live to be 80 years old.6. Tyga: He owned an actual tiger, even though they're illegal in California. When the cops came after him, he gave it to an animal shelter.7. Ice-T: He had a shark tank in his home recording studio, but that's gone now. He still has a regular aquarium, though.8. Tracy Morgan: He had to spend $400,000 on a 2,700-gallon tank for his giant Pacific octopus named Bwyadette.9. Nicolas Cage: Where do you start? He's owned sharks, an octopus, a 5-foot monitor lizard, and two venomous albino king cobras named Moby and Sheba. He had them locked behind bulletproof glass and kept antivenom handy. He once said, quote, "If they bite me . . . I have 15 minutes to live."10. Vanilla Ice: He once owned a wallaroo, which is a cross between a wallaby and a kangaroo. He sent it to a farm in Florida after it got too big for his property.

William Shakespeare's “Hamlet” is the story of a Danish prince who can't decide how to respond to his father's murder. St. Louis Shakespeare Festival's production of the play in Forest Park this month is inspired by the fashion and jazz of mid-20th-Century Manhattan. As St. Louis Public Radio's Jeremy Goodwin reports, the production shows that one of the most famous plays ever written can inspire new sounds and surprises.

This is who we hear at the top of our soundwalk: The Black-headed Grosbeak.They say it sounds like an operatic American Robin. I can't say I disagree. Its phrases rise and fall with ebullient fluidity.This week we are back in Forest Park, in my hometown, Portland, Oregon. It's the subject of a multifaceted series that is spooling out across all my music pseudonyms throughout the year, and probably into the next here on Substack and on music streaming services. So far we've been introduced to Forest Park Rain Suite I & II, The Wildwood Trail in Sound and Vision, and last week's Ancient Forest Suite. This week it's Forest Melody Suite.The first thing I notice is that this breaks the rule I set for Listening Spot releases: no pianos leading the way. Forest Melody Suite has a Wurlitzer electric piano front and center through the whole 17 minute runtime. I love the deep tone of this particular electric piano, and I love the punctuated, syllabic structure of a phrase played on a piano. Maybe hearing all the melodic birdsong made it irresistible to reach for it. Or maybe it was just easier to start with. Honestly, I don't remember. It was the path of least resistance, one way or another.The environmental audio we hear was recorded in the Miller Creek watershed on the quiet northern side of Forest Park; definitely a top spot for migratory birds in the vast park. Here you'll find a healthy fish-bearing creek (the only one in the park to host salmonids) and complex structure in the forest canopy. I kinda took Forest Park for granted, growing up in Portland. But it really is something special! We hear plenty of Pacific Wren, Wilson's Warbler, Cordilleran Flycatcher, Downy Woodpecker, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Song Sparrow and some tricky-to-ID baby birds too. The scene was positively alive.Thanks for being here; for listening and reading. Ancient Forest Suite is available under the artist name Listening Spot on all streaming platforms Friday, May 30th.

There’s a population of Northern red-legged frogs that make their home in Portland’s Forest Park. In late winter and early spring, they come down to the nearby Harborton wetland to breed. There’s only one problem: the frogs have to cross Highway 30 to get from Forest Park to the wetland and back. About ten years ago, a local resident saw the road covered with the bodies of frogs who had tried to cross during the night and gotten squished. They alerted some friends and neighbors and that’s how the Harborton Frog Shuttle, also lovingly known as the “frog taxi” came to be. Teams of dedicated volunteers are on-call from late winter to early spring and when the conditions are right for the frogs, they come out with their buckets and headlamps to help the amphibians cross the road safely.   OPB “Oregon Field Guide” producer Jule Gilfillan and OPB cinematographer/editor Brooke Herbert tagged along with the frog taxi volunteers. They join us to share a bit about the experience. And you can see their video here.    For more Evergreen episodes and to share your voice with us, visit our showpage.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit chadcrouch.substack.comI've been doing a lot of writing about Forest Park, here in Portland, Oregon, so I decided not to double up this week. In fact, I'm putting a pause on the Wildwood Trail Sound & Vision series, to pick it back up later this year, when the photos I took match the season better. The environmental audio for today's release was captured at Ancient Forest Preserve, a non-contiguous 27-acre chunk of Forest Park floating about two miles to the northwest of the 5200 acre park proper; an island outpost of old-growth, managed by the Forest Park Conservancy with little fanfare. Private forest lands surround it on two sides, while the Metro-owned Burlington Creek Forest fans out like an apron beneath it, providing public access.This is what it looks like from above:Recorded last December, this soundscape is quite delicate. Small water sounds are magnified and cave-like. Allow me to explain: Burlington Creek flows through this forest, entering a culvert beneath a gravel road at its eastern boundary. My microphones were just within in earshot of that culvert, a 6' diameter pipe, which had an amplifying effect on the water trickling through. The stereo field captures both the foreground creek sound as well as the distant culvert undertones. I tried to select instrument voices that blended well with this constellation of little sounds. Droplet synths, hammered dulcimer-esque synths, banjo, pan drum... Washy sounds and sparkly sounds.Chestnut-backed Chickadees, Red-breasted Nuthatches, and Ruby-crowned Kinglets busily forage in the mild December evening light. Geese fly overhead. And, there's a mammal or two as well. Possibly deer. Possibly a very quiet human. A mystery.Ancient forest suite has a squiggly horseshoe trail nearly looping back to itself. I made a leisurely circuit while leaving my recording gear to soak up the creek sound. I didn't expect to see anyone else in the fading light. What a memorable evening; what a charmed place. Thanks for revisiting it with me. Ancient Forest Suite is available under the artist name Listening Spot on all streaming platforms Friday, May 16th.

More spring rain; more Pacific Wren and Wilson's Warbler duets … It's Forest Park Rain Suite II.And now you might be thinking why split it up? Honestly I don't entirely remember my reasoning, but the main thing that I noticed for some of my work is that once you get to the 40 minute mark, it has a pretty strong sedative effect. That's not a bad thing, necessarily. But I'd like to think my music could be of service to those who want to lean in, as well as lean back. I do quality control listening of my mixes with headphones at night lying in bed. I rarely make it to 40 minutes without falling asleep. So this “halfsies” presentation offers a good old fashioned intermission. Thanks again for reading and listening along. I'm grateful for your interest. Forest Park Rain Suite II is available under the artist name Listening Spot on all streaming platforms Friday, April 18th.Next week, the first of a series of Sound and Vision posts on the Wildwood Trail, and new work from my instrumental project Sleeping Animal!Soundwalk is a reader-supported publication.

For the Evolution Festival's third year, the lineup has been announced: Lenny Kravitz, Sublime, TLC and more! Listen to the interview with Jeff Jarrett, about how the lineup came together.

The environmental recording for Forest Park Rain suite was recorded about a year ago on the quiet northern side of Forest Park, here in Portland Oregon. It was a rainy day interspersed with sun breaks. Many migratory birds had buy then taken up residence here. Among them, Black-headed Grosbeak, Wilson's Warbler, Black-throated Gray Warbler, and Hammond's Flycatcher. Deer can also be heard moving among downed branches. I love the acoustics of the forest slope where this was captured. I love the soft rain sounds. Like all Listening Spot compositions, this one leans into atmospherics and emphasizes melody. Loping, synthesizer phrases are layered with vibrato synth pads and various soft, shimmering sounds. I've spoken a little bit about Forest Park in the past, but I've spent some time reacquainting myself with its trails over the last month. In particular, the 30-mile-long Wildwood trail that traverses the park from north to south. In the Spring of 1999 I hiked the entire trail (slightly shorter, then) in one day. A quarter century later I had the urge to complete it again, but not all at once, I'll be sharing the fruits of that soon! Til then, thanks again for your interest; for reading and listening along. I'm grateful for you. Forest Park Rain Suite is available under the artist name Listening Spot on all streaming platforms Friday, April 11th. Forest Park Rain Suite II will land next Friday, April 18th. This is a public episode.

With wildfire season approaching and southern California still reeling from the January wildfires, Portland leaders are making sure the city can withstand a major urban wildfire. Forest Park, the city's crown jewel and one of the largest urban forests in the U.S., has been identified as one of the areas most at-risk for wildfire in the city. Kim Kosmas, a senior public education officer with Portland Fire & Rescue who also manages the wildfire preparedness program, talks on Beat Check about what the city is doing to prevent large fires in Forest Park and what homeowners can do to protect their homes.

We can't think about the future without first understanding our past. That's the message in this week's episode as we head to Forest Park to the Missouri History Museum. We sat down with Jody Sowel, the President of the Missouri Historical Society and one of the most fascinating interviews I've had in a while. Jody is a transplant of St. Louis but you'd never know it. He has a passion and a deep knowledge of our city that rivals those born and raised here. If you haven't been to the history museum in a while, listen up because you'll be shocked about everything new they have to offer and explore. We chat about it all as they gear up for some pretty big milestones.

A proposed utility project in Forest Park has caused a monthslong clash between environmental groups and Portland General Electric. The Harborton Reliability Project would remove roughly 400 mature trees on 5 acres of parkland to make way for new power lines. PGE says the grid upgrade is necessary to meet the region’s growing demand for electricity, but conservationists say it will damage one of Portland’s most important ecological assets. City permitting staff recommended against the project in January, but a hearings officer determined earlier this month that it should be allowed to proceed. The Forest Park Neighborhood Association and the Forest Park Conservancy have appealed that decision to the City Council. Randy Franks is a senior project manager for PGE. Scott Fogarty is the executive director of the Forest Park Conservancy. They both join us to share their perspectives on the plan and what it could mean for Portland’s largest park.
