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!
