Hello and welcome back to Cracked with Chevonne Ariss! Today’s guests are JinYoung Park and his wife Via, who are joining us from Seoul Korea. Together they created Decoratif, where they professionally create and install stained glass for sacred spaces, cafes, retail stores, residential and even do lots of work for K drama tv series. Today we’re going to discuss the evolution from JinYoung learning stained glass from his mother to the family business it is now, Via’s structure for classes, and some really unique and interesting projects I found on their site to dig into.

Let’s get into it…

Join me as I crack it all wide open!

To see more of JinYoung and Via’s work, their instagrams are @jyglss and @decoratif_official and their website is jyglass.co.kr.

For the Cracked Patreon page, Jin and via made us a studio playlist for us. I’ve been listening to this playlist non-stop and a k-pop fan has now been awakened within me! There’s some really good stuff on there! And of course, the link to that patreon page is always at the bottom of the show notes.
