Today on the 45th episode of 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 - atleast in my opinion - the most organic and thoughtful way to create an online stained glass community.
Let's get into it!
Join me as I crack it all wide open!
To see more of Erin's work, her instagram is @eringlassworks and her website is eringlassworks.com.
For all the Patreon page members Erin is gifting her guide to Social Media, and for 1 lucky member we’re going to do a drawing for one of her layout frames.
