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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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…

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, 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 September 1st!

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.

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!

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.

Today for episode 46 of Cracked I'm joined by Jacob Hinnenkamp, the son 1/2 of Cincinnati's father and son duo Hinnenkamp Glass Crafters. As a young child Jacob remembers watching his father work on windows, mesmerized by the amount of detail and care that went into every piece. As a young adult he took on the craft himself and in late 2017 he finally decided to take the hobby to the next level and start marketing his work, creating a business making custom pieces. Today Jacob and are are going to discuss his personal designs as well as his experience as being a licensed artist for the Charley Harper Studio, his take on inside angle cuts and his future of designing official Charley Harper patterns.
Let's get into it...
Join me as I crack it all wide open!
To see more of Jacob’s work his instagram is @hinnenkampglasscrafters and his website is hinnenkampglass.com. For the Cracked Patreon members Jacob is gifting an original stained glass piece from his Color Waves series that’s 6.25” x 8.25”. I’ll be doing a drawing for that 12 days after the release of this episode.Honorable mentions from this episode:

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.

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...
