Chevonne Ariss gives listeners a window into stained glass.
A glaring gap in the podcast landscape inspired Portland, Oregon–based Chevonne Ariss to start Cracked with Chevonne Ariss, a show devoted entirely to stained glass. Over the past four seasons, Ariss has brought in artists, hobbyists, and conservators from all over the world to discuss their techniques, materials, tools, business tips, and influences in cheery, informal conversations. Artists featured on Cracked create stunning glass art in a dizzying array of aesthetics and forms. Ariss herself is an accomplished stained glass artist: she has depicted in stained glass 118 of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and has installed large-scale work in homes and businesses. Her podcast is featured in “New Releases” in the Fall 2023 issue of American Craft.
This stained glass installation, 2022, glass, copper, lead, zinc, 72 x 60 in., created a semi-transparent partition in a residential home.
