    Sgraffito Allegories with Lil Eris of Lekka Suka

    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.

    Capturing Spirit with Ellen Van Dijk of Glas Atelier Ellen

     Hi friends and welcome back to Cracked with Chevonne Ariss!
    Today for episode 51 of Cracked I’m joined by Ellen Van Dijk . She’s a stained glass artist based in The Netherlands best known for her  photo realistic portraits. Drawing and painting portraits since childhood, her love for drawing and the desire for creative expression has been present for as long as she can remember. The combination of portraiture and learning to make stained glass windows brought her to where she is today. Today we’re talking about her personal experience with heartfelt portrait commissions, travel adventures of teaching, her in person classes as well as her online classes, and a couple really great glass paining glass hacks! To see more of Ellen's work, her instagram is  @glasatelierellen  and her website is glasatelierellen.com.

    To Be Or Not To Be, That Is David's Question with David Scheid

    To Be Or Not To Be, That Is David's Question with David Scheid

    Today on Cracked I'm joined by LA artist David Scheid. David is a stained glass artist whose work is inspired by the light and landscapes of California. He spends most of my time on the road as a tour manager for bands  including Girl Talk, Beirut, and Dinosaur Jr.  and when at home he builds colorful, geometric stained glass pieces and custom windows. His work has been installed in houses, gardens and shops throughout the West Coast and greater United States.
     Today we’re going to discuss the eternal question of what it is we’re meant to be doing professionally, an honest look at what working during the pandemic looked like and finding extraordinary inspiration and imagery in the everyday moments around us.
    To see more of David’s work is Instagram is @davidscheidstainedglass and his website is davidscheidstainedglass.com.
    For the Cracked Patreon page members, David has made us a studio playlist, made up of all the artists that he has tour managed for. The link to that is always at the bottom of the show notes!

    Today on Cracked I’m joined by Ashley Costa. She's the Portland OR artist behind Caustic Glassworks. A stencil artist for 10+ years, she decided to apply her sharp lines and design work to the practice of stained glass in 2017 and has been dedicated to the craft ever since. An avid craft fair and market seller, Costa and I chat about tips and tricks she’s learned through her experience there, she also shares her experience growing up in the Portland punk scene and our mutual experience of having small children during the pandemic.

    Let's get into it...
    Join me as I crack it all wide open!

    To see more of Costa's work, her instagram is @caustic_glassworks and her website is causticglassworks.com.
