CRACKED EP. 60 Inked in Glass with Heather Dawn

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 Patreon page members Heather made one of her super cute painted horseshoes, measurements are about 4” wide by 5” tall. Drawing will be Oct. 13th, 2024.

CRACKED EP. 58 Break It or Take It with Jordan Benson

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.

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.

CRACKED EP. 56 Glass Breaker’s Club with Korina Oswald

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 Sept. 15th, 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.

CRACKED EP. 55 Sculpting Skylines with Tom Fruin

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…

CRACKED EP. 54 Wild Wonders and Botanical Brilliance with Juliet Forrest

Today, I have stained glass artist and glass painter Juliet Forrest join me from Sheffield, United Kingdom. Juliet's work is celebrated for its intricate and so very delicate and expressive depictions of flora and fauna, capturing the imagination with their stunning detail,  She’s also know for her  masterful use of color,  incredible depth and movement, each piece a somehow more dynamic and immersive experience than the last. When planning for this interview and messaging with Juliet jokingly said she only had anti-hacks, but turns out she’s actually  got more hacks for us today than any other episode of the season! And they are really good ones you will want to incorporate into how you work moving forward… 

Join me as I crack it all wide open!

To see more of Juliet’s work, her instagram is @juliet_forrest_glass and mine is @runaglassworks . Juliet will be sending out one of her cosmic bird stained glass piece to a lucky Patreon winner!!  The panel measures 14cm wide x 13cm high and will be raffled on Sept. 1st, 2024!

CRACKED EP. 52 Sgraffito Allegory with Lil Eris of Lekka Suka

Hello and welcome back to Cracked with Chevonne Ariss! Today’s episode is the last of season 4 so there will be a break for a bit after this  but don’t worry, I won’t leave you hanging for a long time! 

Today 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.

CRACKED EP. 47 Booty Bounce with Kyle Hubbs of Booty Glass Girls

Today we’re talking BBLs, BBGs Bounce Clubs, Baddies and so so much more today with New Orleans artist Booty Glass Girls 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 and block parties 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 page, Kyle is gifting a print made on high quality cotton rag paper signed and numbered. It’s 20”x16” and they retail for $150. I’ll be doing a drawing for that 12 days after this episode is released.

CRACKED EP. 46 Baking Business Pie with Erin Glassworks

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!

CRACKED EP. 44 Chevy to the Levee with Lindsey Lou Wonder

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.

CRACKED EP. 43 Unified Design In Mind with Jack Brindley of Pavilion Pavilion

Today on Cracked 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.

CRACKED EP. 42 Manila Roots, New York Fruits with Sacha Carlos-Raps

Welcome baaaaa-aaack! 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!

CRACKED EP. 41 Take the 90 to The 405 to The 101 to The 2 with Jax Partlow

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….
Join me as I crack it wide open! 

Jax made the cutest Guide to LA and glass piece map with her incredible graphic design skills and you can get your eyes on that at Patreon.com/runaglassworks or there is also always a link at the bottom of the show notes.
