From Bali with Love, Lena Zaycman

Today I’m joined by stained glass designer & maker Lena Zaycman who is based in St. Petersburg, Russia. After working on large scale stained glass installations alongside her sister, she continued her practice refining her own style, where she’s focused on the idea of hassle-free installation by making absolutely independent objects that can easily be displayed anywhere. She’s created a fantastical line of little creatures called Shelly Creatures and Zoobastics which are not only whimsical and fun but also carry great personal healing work and meaning. Her Buddy line and Bali line is equally sentimental. Today we’re going to dive into her different collections and explore what their meaning is to Lena, we’ll also discuss healthy balances with social media and what some of the different products and tools are that she’s using in Russia.
Join me as I crack it all wide open!

For The Love of Portraits with Lauren Puckett of Glass Aeroplane
Today I’m speaking with Lauren Puckett. She’s an artist with an adventurous spirit and a love of flying airplanes. She just recently returned to the states from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland where she was working on her PhD in glass and now, she’s currently in a residency at the McColl Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. The sky’s the limit for this artist and pilot, but where she’s currently gaining altitude is by intertwining feminine studies with glass in an unexpected and seamless way. Her pieces examine subculture, stereotypes and representation with contemporary power structures. Her work is powerful and thought provoking, and creates the start of conversations that need to be had.
Everything she’s doing will make a lasting impression, her efforts to modernize our traditional practice with her C&C plasma framing system included. It’s the spark to a flame that may make the future of stained glass more safe and therefore more accessible. A lover of open knowledge, she shares today with us her process and her journey of growing and evolving along side her work.
Join me as I crack it all wide open!

Ghosties and Ghoulies with Margo Marquette
Can you even hear the words “copper foil overlay" and not know who Margo Marquette is? I don’t think it’s possible! Usually when I mention her name it’s met with a sharp inhale and some head shaking while words are searched for to express shock at the insane detail she’s able to create. Her work reminds me a little bit of of shadow puppets, a lot of fables and folklore, and all timeless enchanted storytelling.
While speaking with Margo I was surprised and struck by how humble she is, and how she’s moved through our beloved craft with such ingenuity and resourcefulness. Keep listening and you’ll see what I mean...
Join me as I crack it all wide open!
