26 Apr 2022LA Story with David Judson of Judson Studios01:50:13

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. 
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.

10 May 2022One Bad Eddie! Navigating A Larger Commission with Ted Ellison01:48:17

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.

Join us as we crack it all wide open!

To see more of Ted's work, his instagram is @theodoreellisondesigns and mine is @runaglassworks.

08 Nov 2022Conservation of Glass and Health with Derek Hunt01:41:48

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.uk

For the Cracked Patreon page members Derek is offering a link to a Spotify music playlist he made to listen to while you work!

Originally from Orlando, FL, Jaclyn earned her BA in Art and Art History with a concentration in Mixed Media from Stetson University. She has explored many mediums since then, most notably minicomics and illustration, which continue to inform her approach to  her glass. 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!
All right let’s get into it…

20 Dec 2022The Savage Mind of The Bricoleur w Timo Fahler01:37:43

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.

29 Nov 2022Two Roses And A Thorn with Ben Houtkamp of Ben's Website01:35:10

For today’s episode of Cracked I had the pleasure of speaking with Chicago artist Ben Houtkamp of Ben’s Website. 
Ben has one of the most recognizable styles I have seen to date. His brightly colored pieces are reminiscent of childhood nostalgia, video games and puzzles. His work is happy. and we all need more happy. I’m a Big Ben fan and I think you will be too.


To see more of Ben’s work, his instagram is @bens.website and his website is benswebsite.net.

For all the Patreon page members Ben has a discount code for 40% off everything in his online shop, this includes merchandise as well as his glasswork. and for 3 lucky Patreon members he’s sending a wine tote. They’re so cute, they come in two different color choices and they each hold 2 bottles of wine.  I’ll be doing a drawing in my instagram stories on December 11th 2022.

10 Jan 2023Be Safe, Have Fun, Do Excellent Work with Ariana Makau of Nzilani Glass01:57:46

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."

27 Dec 2022School's Out with Nik Sanders of Hepzibar Button01:03:42

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. 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

06 Dec 2022Fast Pitch with Josephine A. Geiger01:22:44

 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.
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. He is also a fabulous artist and teacher.

31 Jan 2023Take The 90 to The 405 to The 101 to The 2 with Jax Partlow01:52:03

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.
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.

03 Jan 2023Miss Piggy, Cup Noodle and The Future of AI Collabs with Sara Strickler01:18:50

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!!

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! We are so excited to see all of your interpretations so please please tag us in your finished products.

13 Dec 2022Team Kerbi with Kerbi Urbanowski01:23:20

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!
All right let’s get into it…
Join me as I crack it all wide open!
To see more of Kerbi’s work, her instagram is @kerbi_kerbi and her website is kerbiurbanowski.com.
For the Cracked Patreon page members Kerbi has made a studio playlist that I’ve had access to for a few weeks and it is bringing so much happiness to my workspace and I know it’ll do the same for yours! 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. That’s 12 days after this episode is released which is when I have been doing all my drawings this season and this time it landed on Christmas!

17 Jan 2023Tokens, Talismans and Traditions of The Countryside with Jane Littlefield01:11:50

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.

24 Jan 2023From The Outback to The Alps with Nadine Keegan and Tom Medicus01:26:28

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.

18 Jul 2023Baking Business Pie with Erin Glassworks01:27:34

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.

04 Jul 2023Chevy to the Levee with Lindsey Lou Wonder01:31:14

Hello and welcome back! Today on Cracked with Chevonne Ariss I'm joined by Lindsey Wonder. She is a Tucson, AZ based tattooer, stained glass artist, painter and illustrator. 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. Today we're going to chat about the parallels between stained glass and tattooing, her upcoming vending at Van Nationals, and different ways we all should tweak the way we approach waitlists to keep everyone honest! 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.

01 Aug 2023Booty Bounce with Kyle Hubbs of Booty Glass Girls01:23:15

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!
To see more of Kyle's work, his instagram is @bootyglassgirls.

For the Patreon Kyle is gifting a 20"x16" numbered print.  I’ll be doing a drawing for that 12 days after this episode is released!

20 Jun 2023Manila Roots, New York Fruits with Sacha Carlos-Raps01:18:00

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!

05 Sep 2023Sgraffito Allegories with Lil Eris of Lekka Suka01:27:48

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!
Join me as I crack it all wide open! 


For the final Patreon page drawing of the season,  I'm doing a drawing of 2 names!  One winner will receive the Map Mundi print + a set of greeting cards and another winner will receive a sgraffito stained glass white lily made by Lil and a set of greeting cards. The Map print is 11”x13.5” and the flower is 3.5”  I'll be doing a drawing for those on September 17th.

27 Jun 2023Unified Design In Mind with Jack Brindley of Pavilion Pavilion01:13:50

Hi everyone and welcome back to Cracked with Chevonne Ariss!
Today on episode 44 I'm joined by Edinburgh artist Jack Brindley. Under the alias Pavilion Pavilion, Jack has been exploring the relationship between contemporary art and objects of use, combining his research as an artist and his interest in design and architecture. Each work is a unique and individually commissioned piece, looking at forms found in minimalism and ‘painterly hard line abstraction’. The aim is to create works that are contemporary whilst adhering to the traditional methods and materials. How should Contemporary Stained Glass sit between an artwork and an architectural embellishment?

Stained Glass by Pavilion Pavilion is influenced by moments such as the groundbreaking Bauhaus School, where Design, Architecture, Craft and Art were all at the forefront of innovation. Today we discuss his idea art as a place holder, finding focus in his craft, enhancing what is already present and how maybe having all the glass tools and resources at your fingertips may not be the best thing after all. Let's get into it...

Join me as I crack it all wide open!

To see more of Jack's work, his instagram is @pavilionpavilion_ and his website is pavilionpavilion.com.
For the Cracked Patreon page Jack is gifting an original drawing that’s called “Grid Study” made in 2022, and it’s charcoal and ink on paper. It's 42 x 30 cm or 16.5" x  11.8”. I’ll be doing a drawing for that 12 days after the release of this episode.

03 Sep 2024Glass Breaker’s Club with Korina Oswald01:10:28

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.

27 Aug 2024Sculpting Skylines with Tom Fruin00:59:52

Welcome back to Cracked with Chevonne Ariss! 
Today, I’m honored to have Tom Fruin join me. Known for his large-scale installations, Tom uses steel and brightly colored plexiglass to create monumental sculptures.

Tom’s work stands out not only for its visual impact but also for its commitment to accessibility and sustainability with his use of reclaimed materials. 


You may already be familiar with Tom’s work but just didn’t know the artist behind the pieces. Fruin's largest installation to date, the Watertower series, is installed on multiple rooftops across New York City and around the country.  


Tom, who grew up in Los Angeles and now lives and works in Brooklyn, New York, shares with me today his experiences and insights into the world of large-scale installations. 

Join me as I crack it all wide open…

To see more of Tom’s work, his instagram is @tomfruin and mine is @runaglassworks.  
For a lucky Patreon page member Tom is gifting some stickers and one of his glass patchwork candles. The best part: as the candle burns down, the colors glow through the glass it’s really pretty! I’ll be doing the drawing for that September 8th, 2024.

Today we're headed to Charlotte NC to dive into the Psychedelic, colorful and wonderful world of Lindsey Thacker, AKA Luxey Flux. Known for her mind-bending designs and kaleidoscopic color palettes,  Lindsey has a talent for seemlessly weaving glass of all different textures and tones, opacity levels and iridescence together into a technicolor maximalism delight.

Join me as I crack it all wide open!

To see more of Lindsey’s work, her instagram is @luxeyflux and mine is @runaglassworks.  For the Patreon members Lindsey made a gorgeous pattern for all, there’s no drawing it’s just up for all the members.

17 Sep 2024Break It or Take It with Jordan Benson01:08:39

Welcome to another episode of Cracked with Chevonne Ariss! 
Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with groundbreaking, Australian artist Jordan Benson. Jordan's work offers a modern twist on our traditional craft, drawing inspiration from the gritty, raw aesthetic of street art. His pieces capture the beauty found in urban life, transforming everyday scenes into stunning visual narratives. But Jordan's creativity doesn't stop there. His  practice extends to kiln forming, etching, glass painting and beyond, showcasing his dedication to exploring and mastering various mediums. From his vivid oil painted canvases to his innovative stained glass, Jordan's work reflects a commitment to making art a part of our everyday experience.

My favorite thing about Jordan is his passion and excitement for glass. It’s really  infectious. Keep listening and you’ll see what I mean. 

Join me as I crack it all wide open!

To see more of Jordan’s work, his instagram is @jordanb_art and mine is @@runaglassworks  Jordan designed the Cracked graphic we spoke about and I made some stickers as well as a limited run of tshirts. The Patreon members had the first Crack (see what I did there) at the tshirts before the rest of the listeners. But there are still some left!! Check them out on my website and there’s a direct link here:

01 Oct 2024Inked in Glass with Heather Dawn01:04:43

Welcome back to Cracked with Chevonne Ariss! Today is the 60th episode!
Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Heather Dawn, a super talented stained glass artist who splits her time between Phoenix Arizona and her hometown of  New York. Heather began her journey into stained glass in 2015, learning the art alongside her mother. 

Her fused and stained glass work  is heavily inspired by American traditional tattooing and the southwest; The bold black outlines characteristic of traditional tattoos making a perfect match for the solder lines used in stained glass.

Heather’s glass journey, like many of us is complex, where her deeply personal life experience, her grief and joy, is intricately woven in with her personal style.

In this episode, we'll dive into Heather's story and the techniques she uses to bring her striking visions to life. 

Join me as I crack it all wide open…
To see more of Heather’s work her instagram is @heatherdawnglassworks.  And mine is @runaglassworks 

For the glass cutting hack that Heather shared that she had made a video for, she also sent me a photo, I just posted that photo on my website on her episode page, so take a look: 

 For the Patreon page members Heather made one of her super cute painted horseshoes, measurements are about 4” wide by 5” tall. Drawing will be  12 days after  the  release of this episode.

08 Oct 2024Glass, Ghosts and Lisa Frank with Andrea Guzzetta02:11:19

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!!!

PINK GLASS:
"It's true there is gold in some pinks (usually the warmer ones), but most of the bluer cooler pinks have erbium. 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."

Her broad and deep understanding of glass technique, technical problem solving and attention to detail shines through in everything that comes out of her studio.  Join me as I crack it all wide open!
Watch us have our conversation and see the art, people and places we're speaking about on my youtube channel HERE.

02 Nov 2021Finding The Highs In Lows with Social Media Maven & Newly Minted Author Kara Bussey of Glimpse Glass00:58:56

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.

26 Oct 2021It's The Halloween Queen and Your Favorite Yoni Witch with Sarah Fitzpatrick of Witch Way Glass Co01:13:50

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.
Join me as I crack it all wide open!!

16 Nov 2021From The Land Down Under to The Land of Castles with Hannah Gregory of Bad Ass Stained Glass01:19:55

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.

23 Nov 2021Coffee Talk with The Mini Mighty Megan McElfresh from The Stained Glass Association of America01:41:46

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!

21 Dec 2021A Deep Dive Through The Round Window with Flora Jamieson01:03:45

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.

07 Dec 2021Protect ya neck! Trademark and Copyright Q&A with Nicole Swartz of Sprout Law00:52:40

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. 

So without further ado...

Today we discuss her experience on the show and THERE ARE SPOILERS so if you don’t want to know who wins yet put this episode on hold. We’ll also talk about favorite self care practices, her recent discovery and love of the cosplay world, and the surprising place she’s finding most of the tools and supplies for her glass and mosaic art. Hint: There’s one in your town!

28 Feb 2022Southern Charmed By and with Amber Droste of Soda, Ash and Sand01:12:28

Hi hello hello and we're back!!!
 

To kick Season 2 off, I'm interviewing Amber Droste. She is a classically trained painter with a BFA in Painting and Art History from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY, and a Masters Degree in Painting from Washington University in St. Louis. She spent a year abroad studying painting and fresco restoration at the Art Institute of Florence in Florence, Italy.  Though her formal education was spent studying painting and art history, she has spent the greater part of the last decade focusing mainly on stained glass. She’s now working and living in  Chattanooga, Tennessee designing, fabricating, and installing leaded stained glass mostly on a larger scale, mostly commission based. Today we’re going to chat about how she presents her proposed designs to her clients, what are the qualities in other stained glass artists that she admires the most, why she’s not apologizing for her prices anymore and why you shouldn’t either! 
Also, what’s Amber’s  advice for a new stained glass artists just starting out?

Here we go…

22 Mar 2022The Rondel King Has Arrived to The Kingdom of Cracked. I Present to The Court, Tyler Kimball of Monarch Glass00:55:56

 In episode 21, we get to take a peek into the mind and studio of Tyler Kimball, cover artist for the SGQ's most recent summer issue and owner of Monarch Glass. Born and raised in Kansas City, Tyler has gone to all lengths to bring great glass art to the Kansas City area as well as creating installation art and gift glass alike for places and people around the globe. He had worked in almost 60 different studios through residencies, visiting artist stints, and contracted hire before building up Monarch Glass Studio. His passion for working in glass has led him down many different avenues over the years and his favorite work is always just around the next turn. However, Tyler is on our radar here at Cracked as this industry’s leader with his much coveted glass rondels and we're all waiting with bated breath to see and get our hands on his latest venture... bespoke flat sheet glass. Hushed and hopeful whispers of this possibility have spread like wildfire across the land of glass makers everywhere. Is this thrilling Tyler Kimball rumor true? Keep listening to find out! 

All right let’s do this!! Join me as I crack it all wide open!

15 Mar 2022WHO MADE ALL THIS STUFF?!! with Judith Schaechter01:38:27

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. You’ll see what I mean!

29 Mar 2022Truckin' Home with Colleen Newcomb of Wild Light Glassworks01:11:11

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.

Join me as I crack it all wide open!

05 Apr 2022For The Love of Portraits with Lauren Puckett of Glass Aeroplane01:38:04

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.
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.

12 Apr 2022From Bali with Love, Lena Zaycman01:32:22

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.

19 Apr 2022Ghosties and Ghoulies with Margo Marquette01:21:47

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!

08 Mar 2022Lekker! Recipes for The Infinite with Anika Van Der Merwe01:10:12

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.
