    Season 9 — Episode 1 👍👍👍👍
    A great discussion about the cross section in Flameworking. A fantastic panel discussion among the artists and Shawn Waggoner the host.
  • LoveArtForever
    Great art podcast!
    Love this show! Great conversations for anyone who loves art, glass or artists! Amazing questions that bring forth unexpected answers from the artists.
  • 4everglass
    A valuable catalog of conversations
    Going forward, these great conversations with glass artists will serve as a record of their work- and glass’ role in the art world at large.
  • babybelleunderfire
    Easy listen
    If you enjoy glass art this is a nice and easy listen. The interviews are always informative and the speaker is really responsive.
  • jaymie allison
    We love Shawn!
    So refreshing to have such an intelligent woman shed light on the glass community. This podcast gives underground artists a bigger platform with insightful interviews. 10/10 recommend!!
  • Swagthecreator16
    Amazing
    Shawn in the best podcast host ever!
  • Asdfasdfasdf5656
    Thanks for featuring these great artists!
    Lots of fun
  • henaoglass
    Thankful
    Sooooo happy that the Glass community finally has a place where to meet and understand more about our medium and other things. I’m enjoying the first episode and admiring how humble Daisy Fuin is. Such a pleasure... will continue with the second one. Thanks again and excited for more episodes!!!!
  • Shaniebelle
    So much info & inspirational!
    I’ve really been enjoying this podcast... I started at the beginning and am only part way through Season 2, but I’m loving it. I am a novice fused glass artist and thought that some of the interviews with artists from other disciplines might not be as interesting or useful for me. But that’s not the case! I typically view the artist’s work online as I listen to the podcast, and that makes the meaning and technique really come to life. I’ve also learned about a fused glass artist I didn’t know about - and I’ll be taking a class from her soon. Thanks, Shawn & Glass Art Magazine!!!
  • Paul Messink
    Excellent interview series
    Shawn has amassed a very impressive lineup of interviews with so many noted glass artists. She has great questions, and an easy interview style that makes these great to listen to. Artistry is more than just technique - and Shawn helps uncover the history, personality, and thoughts behind the artwork itself. Keep rocking, Shawn!
  • sorta_howell
    So happy to have found this!
    It is wonderful to have all these informative, entertaining and indepth conversations with great artists who share their experiences, concerns and directions. I especially enjoy when an artist shares how they evolved into what they do right now. Bringing art to the community is also a favorite topic. Keep up the great work!
  • podcastlover2790
    Informative, interesting podcast!
    Love this show! Great conversations!
  • Binabeany
    Look out Terry Gross!
    Shawn Waggoner is such an informed and intuitive interviewer! Although I am a glass enthusiast and not an artist, I enjoy these conversations so much. Waggoner knows how to get the best technical and inspirational information from each of her subjects. I have shared ths podcast with many of my artist friends. They all love it as do I!
  • Mix manners
    Knowledgeable interviewer!
    It's amazing how good an interview can be when the interviewer knows their stuff! Shawn Waggoner asks quetions that no one else woud ask because she knows glass thoroughly. Much like Terry Grosss on NPR, Waggoner's rapport with the artists she interviews is evident in the kinds of insighful and informative questions she poses. Love it! Not just for glass artists.
  • oldguyrocks
    Great Interview!
    Shawn’s interview with Peter Muller was great! Well-done, thoughtful- I always wondered how pipes went from being “paraphernalia” to accepted and collected art.
  • GardenCaycee
    Showcase of how today's glass artists achievements
    Excellent interviews! It is great Glass Art is documenting many of the great glass artist and their techniques! It is one of the most difficult of art forms and materials. It is refreshing to hear from the people who are so accomplished in describing the processes used to in their creations. With the information I've heard on this podcast, I have been able to view some works I wouldn't have heard about.
  • VivianMK
    Great podcast about ARTISTS, good for even casual glass art fans!
    As a casual glass art fan, I stumbled across this podcast as I was searching for more interview shows about ART and ARTISTS! I'm so glad I did. The host is extremely knowledgable and the guests are all amazing. It's always wonderful to get a sneak peek behind the scenes of an artist's process, and I feel like I already have a new appreciation for this medium. Try it out! You won't be disappointed!
  • MzJoan
    Impressive
    The artists that are interviewed are the pinnacle of the hot glass world. I dabble in hot glass and I am enjoying their stories very much.
  • W. Wilson
    Need More Programs Like This!
    In a world of quick fix media, it is great to see a program delve into content.

    A fantastic glimpse into a storied career. Inspiring and helpful on many levels. Thank you for bringing this voice and perspective to our attention.
  • PBGlassArt
    Brilliant
    I consider this podcast a real treat. We get to hear Narcissus Quagliata, in his own voice, explain why he made some of the choices he did when designing some of the most breathtaking glass art in the world. The interview questions are on point and Quagliata's knowledge of Greek culture and art history are very interesting and provide context. I could see this podcast appealing to many people with a broad range of interests.
  • Dctachyon
    Well Done Interview
    Very informative, especially to new listeners like me.
  • Glass Geezer
    Not just for glass people
    Looks like this will be a good resource for anyone interested in knowing more about the artist’s process.
