Matt Robertson chats with glass artist Avatar Glass to discuss his journey into the medium which started when he was only 13 years old. Avatar recounts becoming fascinated with glass blowing as a teenager, building his own studio in high school and honing his skills despite the risks. As his technical abilities grew, Avatar developed a distinct artistic style, creating sculptural pieces inspired by science fiction and mythology that showcase his cold working techniques. The conversation also covers the importance of maintaining health and balance as a full-time glass artist, with Avatar discussing his exercise regimen, passion for golf, and navigating the recent market shifts. Overall, the episode provides an intimate glimpse into the life and creative process of a rising star in the contemporary glass art world. Also in this episode: Avatar developed a distinct artistic style, starting with fume work and intricate stringer designs before moving into more complex sculptural pieces inspired by science fiction and mythology. Cold working techniques are a key part of Avatar's process, allowing him to create detailed elements like the "armor" and wings on his sphinx-inspired sculptures. Maintaining health and balance is a constant challenge for Avatar as a full-time glass artist. He has incorporated exercise, golf, and other hobbies to avoid burnout from long hours in the studio. Avatar felt the recent market slowdown, with less demand for mid-range "working man's" pieces, but the high-end art glass market remained strong. Avatar's unique name, derived from his father's interest in Hinduism and Buddhism, has been both a blessing and a curse when it comes to branding and intellectual property. The conversation touches on Avatar's early experimentation with psychedelics and the impact it had on his creative vision and ideas for future work. Avatar is highly inspired by figures like Nikola Tesla, as well as films like Interstellar, that explore themes of creativity, spirituality, and humanity's place in the universe.

Matt Robertson is joined by Glass artist Taffy to discuss his journey into borosilicate glass, from his initial frustrations with painting to his fascination with the technical challenges of Boro. Taffy shares insights on melting and coloring glass, as well as his work with plasma and innovative glass tools, including his signature rollers. Taffy offers advice for aspiring artists, emphasizing the importance of learning directly from the material. With entertaining anecdotes and little-known facts, this episode provides a captivating look into the art and science of glassmaking. Also in this episode: Taffy initially got into glass blowing after becoming frustrated with the open-ended nature of painting, finding the immediacy and problem-solving aspects of glass more appealing. Transitioning from soft glass to borosilicate (Boro) glass presented new technical challenges for Taffy, including the need to carefully melt and homogenize different colored glasses. Taffy is fascinated by plasma and the science behind it, seeing it as an "anti-existentialist" experience that grounds him in his connection to the earth. Developing innovative glass tools, like his signature rollers, has been an important part of Taffy's practice, helping to make the physical demands of glassblowing more efficient and ergonomic. Taffy emphasizes the importance of following one's curiosity and learning directly from the glass itself when developing as a glass artist. The glass industry faces challenges around corporate espionage and the difficulty of patenting new innovations, but Taffy continues to push the boundaries of what's possible with borosilicate glass.
