| 26 Apr 2022 | LA Story with David Judson of Judson Studios | 01:50:13 | |
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. To see more of the work coming out of Judson Studios, their instagram is @judsonstudios and their website is judsonstudios.com.

| 10 May 2022 | One Bad Eddie! Navigating A Larger Commission with Ted Ellison | 01:48:17 | |
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.

Originally from Orlando, FL, Jaclyn earned her BA in Art and Art History with a concentration in Mixed Media from Stetson University.

Her works center around themes of nostalgia and memory, with influences from pop art and culture and although she’s only been doing glass for 3 years, her fanbase reflects someone who has the experience of a lifetime!

For today’s episode of Cracked I had the pleasure of speaking with Chicago artist Ben Houtkamp of Ben’s Website.
Ben’s pinks: “I usually use "petal pink", 000421-0030-F which is more of a pastel, bubblegum pink. also love the 'pink' 000301-0030-F, but the sheets can be very dense and inconsistent. some batches are better than others. ive gotten friendly with one of the bullseye sales reps who helps me find production batches of the nice translucent sheets that i prefer to use.” Crown Metal: lego island wiki Favorite artists: Glass artists: Canfield sets the standard for the Stained Glass industry.

| 27 Dec 2022 | School's Out with Nik Sanders of Hepzibar Button | 01:03:42 | |
Hello and welcome back to Cracked with Chevonne Ariss! 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 :) 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. After I do these drawings I always reach out to the winner personally as well to let them know, so don’t worry if you miss it but if you remember to, I would turn on your notifications for my instagram stories! @runaglassworks Honorable mentions from this episode: Flora Jameson Domestika Course Books: Design 44 Museum of Making Favorite artists: Amedeo Modigliani Henri Matisse Wassily Kandinsky Glass artists: For episodic sponsorship opportun Canfield TechnologiesCanfield sets the standard for the Stained Glass industry.

| 06 Dec 2022 | Fast Pitch with Josephine A. Geiger | 01:22:44 | |
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.

| 31 Jan 2023 | Take The 90 to The 405 to The 101 to The 2 with Jax Partlow | 01:52:03 | |
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.

| 03 Jan 2023 | Miss Piggy, Cup Noodle and The Future of AI Collabs with Sara Strickler | 01:18:50 | |
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!! For the Patreon members Sara has generated another custom pattern just for us so we can all partake in an AI collaboration! We are so excited to see all of your interpretations so please please tag us in your finished products.

| 13 Dec 2022 | Team Kerbi with Kerbi Urbanowski | 01:23:20 | |
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! Canfield sets the standard for the Stained Glass industry.

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.

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!

| 15 Aug 2023 | Pants Off Dance Off to a Didgeridoo with Ashley Costa from Caustic Glassworks | 01:41:47 | |
Today on Cracked I’m joined by Ashley Costa. She's the Portland OR artist behind Caustic Glassworks. A stencil artist for 10+ years, she decided to apply her sharp lines and design work to the practice of stained glass in 2017 and has been dedicated to the craft ever since. An avid craft fair and market seller, Costa and I chat about tips and tricks she’s learned through her experience there, she also shares her experience growing up in the Portland punk scene and our mutual experience of having small children during the pandemic.

| 18 Jul 2023 | Baking Business Pie with Erin Glassworks | 01:27:34 | |
Today on Cracked I'm joined by artist Erin from Erin Glassworks. Her work is inspired by nature, with a focus on her local Florida wildlife. When she's not translating the natural world into a glass design she's building community and educating other artists and small business owners through her social media. Today Erin and I are going through how she's running things down in Largo Florida, exactly how and where she's making her profit, the art of Patreon, ways she's minimizing her impact on the environment through her packaging and how she's found, at least in my opinion, the most organic and thoughtful way to create an online stained glass community. To see more of Erin's work, her instagram is @eringlassworks and her website is eringlassworks.com. For the Patreon page members Erin is gifting her guide to Social Media eBook, and for 1 member we’re doing a drawing for a set of her layout frames.

Lindsey received her BFA from The School of Visual Arts in NYC. She specializes in stained glass tail lights she makes custom for vintage cars, trucks and vans.

Let's get into it... Join me as I crack it all wide open! To see more of Lindsey's work her instagram is @Lindseywonder and her website is lindseywonder.com. For the Patreon page Lindsey is gifting one of her sets of stained glass dice to hang in your rearview mirror. They measure about 3.5” x 2”, so they’re really the perfect size, not too big like classic fuzzy dice, not too small, and I’m speaking from experience because mine are hanging in my truck as we speak and I love them so much! I’ll be doing a drawing for those on Instagram 12 days after this episode is released. Other artists: Stained glass sheets and glass products for the art and stained glass industry.

| 01 Aug 2023 | Booty Bounce with Kyle Hubbs of Booty Glass Girls | 01:23:15 | |
Today we’re talking BBLs, BBGs Bounce Clubs, Baddies and so so much more today with Booty Glass Girls’ New Orlean’s artist Kyle Hubbs. Kyle is a self-taught stained glass maker who began his work with glass in 2014. After several years of experimenting with more traditional and geometric work, as a native of south Louisiana he looked no further than his own New Orleans for inspiration for his current and modern expression of glass. He credits the exuberance, attitude, style and self-confidence of young people in his local bounce clubs as the muses for his work. Bounce is a style of music that originated in New Orlean's bars and local nightclub scene during the late 1980s and early 90s. Using a call-and-response style of flow inspired by the Mardi Gras chants that were common in New Orleans brass bands. It brought a new life to New Orleans’ own brand of Louisiana hip-hop and continues today to grow in popularity and be nationally recognized in current songs like Beyoncé’s “Get Me Bodied," Rihanna’s “Pour it Up" and Drake’s “Nice for What.” There’s been a bit of controversy around Kyle because he's a male and coming into today, many of us thought he was a female. With that came assumptions and projected intentions and narratives around of his work. Then once listeners realized he was a man, really strong opinions about cultural crossover, exploitation and appropriation began to fill my DMs. I wanted to give Kyle a platform to speak on all of it, and he knew what he was walking into, so Kyle, thank you for showing up. And for you the listener, I ask that you hold your judgement til you listen to my talk with Kyle in it’s entirety. Duality in art is so important. Art that inspires conflict within us is important. Whether it's violent but also beautiful or full of both sorrow and joy. These are the conversation starters. Right? And these conversations are often the ones that can spark growth. The core mission of this podcast is about celebrating stained glass art, and my love for the work of Booty Glass Girls is unwavering. Despite all my questions, there's no question in my mind that the cross pollination of this contemporary culture and stained glass is still a smash hit. All right let’s get into it… Join me as I crack it all wide open! | |||

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 for episode 46 of Cracked I'm joined by Jacob Hinnenkamp, the son 1/2 of Cincinnati's father and son duo Hinnenkamp Glass Crafters. As a young child Jacob remembers watching his father work on windows, mesmerized by the amount of detail and care that went into every piece. As a young adult he took on the craft himself and in late 2017 he finally decided to take the hobby to the next level and start marketing his work, creating a business making custom pieces. Today Jacob and are are going to discuss his personal designs as well as his experience as being a licensed artist for the Charley Harper Studio, his take on inside angle cuts and his future of designing official Charley Harper patterns.

Today for the final episode of Season 4 of Cracked I’m speaking with the queen of sgraffito, the Italian word directly translated to “scratched.” Her time consuming technique of flooding a thin layer of lead based powder paint over colorful patchwork like glass pieces, and then meticulously scratching it off revealing negative space designs that come together to create elaborate and rich stories. Drawing from her experiences of her childhood and family, in her stained glass pieces Lil weaves a tail of greblins, witches, fairies and sea creatures to name just a few. Let's get into it!

| 03 Sep 2024 | Glass Breaker’s Club with Korina Oswald | 01:10:28 | |
Today on Cracked with Chevonne Ariss speaking with Korina Oswald, a stained glass artist based in Seattle, WA where she lives with her husband and children. Currently, her artistic practice is focused on community-based projects liker her glass quilt that involve artists from around the world. She first conceived this project in the aftermath of COVID’s isolation. Much like quilt-making, glass has long been relegated to “craft” and it’s artistry has not been acknowledged nearly enough by the mainstream art world. Oswald seeks to broaden the conversation of what constitutes fine art by creating a piece so large that it cannot be ignored. Korina’s truly my twin flame in community building. Here’s the thing about Korina (and if you know her you already know this): Whenever I’m talking to her I feel like we’re whispering, on the verge of giggles, the entire time. She and I have an inside joke but I have no idea what it is. Korina was the first interview I did for this season and so whenever I would mention her name to everyone after, everyone smiles, and I think that’s the thing about Korina that makes sense that she’s so good at doing community work. Today Korina and I are going to discuss some of her personal work as well as her community projects, their future and how you could and should get involved!!! Join me as I crack it all wide open!! To see more of Korina’s work, her instagram is @korinaoswald and mine is @runaglassworks For the Cracked Patreon members Korina is gifting one of her gorgeous plant trellises. I’ll be doing a drawing for that the 15th of September, 2024. She also made a stretching studio playlist for all of the Patreon members to enjoy. I love this- she made the playlist 25 minutes long so that you know when it ends, it’s time to stop what you’re doing and move around, stretch and I quote, “give your dang neck a break” :) I did go to Seattle to see Korina and the amazing crew at Fremont Antique Glass this spring! Shout out to them and thanks again for taking the time you did with me. Check out my visit in my story highlights on instagram.

| 08 Oct 2024 | Glass, Ghosts and Lisa Frank with Andrea Guzzetta | 02:11:19 | |
It's the final episode of Season 5 and today, I’m thrilled to welcome Andrea Guzzetta, a multifaceted artist from Los Angeles known for her stunning oil paintings and her intricate glass painting work she’s done for many stained glass artists and studios that you know and love. Andrea’s personal work has been described as “if Lisa Frank forgot to take her Xanax” and blends the traditional techniques of classical painting with a pastel aesthetic. She uses her bold cheery palette to quote “explore themes of intimacy, vulnerability, and the hidden magic of small moments.” I feel like Andrea and I really hit it off like old pals, and our chat took a delightful detour with, you know, lighthearted topics, like death, our beliefs about what happens when you die, using art to process fear, accepting mortality, and even ghost sightings. But don’t worry—we do get to glass, and when we do, this episode is packed with valuable insights. We cover everything from navigating Patreon and boosting Instagram engagement to choosing the right respirator for your studio and getting your work into that dream gallery you’ve been dying to show at. Join me as I crack it all wide open! To see more of Andrea’s work her instagram is @andreaguzzetta and mine is @runaglassworks. For all the Patreon members Andrea made an exclusive glass pattern. I love that this pattern isn't too complicated, it’s only got 8 pieces so it's perfect if you're at the beginning of your glass journey OR if you just want to bang out a smaller piece in between your larger projects. If you make it please please send pics to Andrea and I!!! Favorite artists: | |||

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.

In preparation for ep. 08 and very special Halloween episode the Instagram poll people have spoken..! 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. This self described kitchen witch makes predominately Halloween themed work all year round and it's CRAZY to me that she's only been doing glass for 3 years because her work is so good. Today she's going to share a few of her tips and hacks with us including how to make Etsy work for you and how to get those solder lines super shiny. We're also going to discuss how to deal with copycats with grace and kindness, and how her popular yoni pieces might make some of us a little uncomfortable at first...but it's all good because we're leaning into that feeling and the happy ending is a pretty sweet spot to be.

| 16 Nov 2021 | From The Land Down Under to The Land of Castles with Hannah Gregory of Bad Ass Stained Glass | 01:19:55 | |
Ep. 11 - Rarely do we get to witness an artist move through a craft with an eagerness to explore new possibilities with the curiosity we once were taught as children, but most have not carried into adulthood. When we do get to witness this special kind of artist, their work always leads to greatness. Everyone, I'd like you to meet Hannah Gregory. She's known for combining ancient techniques with newer, modern ones and adding her own twist (and yep, sometimes DNA too.) An Australian currently just finishing up her stay as the international artist in resident at the university of Wales, her dedication to thinking and working outside of the box has everyone excitedly anticipating what she'll make next.

| 07 Dec 2021 | Protect ya neck! Trademark and Copyright Q&A with Nicole Swartz of Sprout Law | 00:52:40 | |
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.

| 05 Apr 2022 | For The Love of Portraits with Lauren Puckett of Glass Aeroplane | 01:38:04 | |
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. Canfield sets the standard for the Stained Glass industry.

| 12 Apr 2022 | From Bali with Love, Lena Zaycman | 01:32:22 | |
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.

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. Join me as I crack it all wide open!

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!
