Still vibrating from an ultra pleasant time spent at this special place. @esuglassguild is a prime facility for glass in this region, that has given our community so many wonderful human beings making incredible artwork. A HUGE “Thank you” to the professor @kalestewart for inviting me to work with the students and demonstrate for the Art Crawl. Also, thank you Kale for everything you’re doing to give ESU’s glass and sculpture students the best possible experience. The commitment to your students’ success is evident, and I hope everyone has teachers like you in their programs. Emporia State has gifted me some of my favorite friendships in the glass community. The soul of this place is impacting studios in every part of the country I’ve lived. It is truly a dream come true to come here as a visiting artist, and be a small part of these students’ journeys. I’ve left with a full cup and inspired to continue the good fight that is being a successful maker. As always, I couldn’t do it without help. Thank you to @bigebh and Christian Salazar for surprising me with good energy and helpful hands. Of course it’s all love for my brother @zarroyo_glass for making time to help me cheese some ideas. A big thank you to @tea.seas_goodies for making the trek to Emporia everyday to glass ourselves to the fullest vibrations of joy possible! It was a beautiful time spent with friends. Until next time ESU 🫶🏼💛🖤🐝

Ending this trio of posts honoring the work I’ve gotten to create for @emporiastatetheatre with the promotional images for The Glass Menagerie production. ⏳ Before each regular semester production, we come up with a plan for a creative shoot to be used for the promotion of the show ahead of all of the final touches being ready to show off (sets, final costumes, etc). This is the perfect scenario for me: other visual/performing artists to collaborate with, and constraints on direction in regard to the reference material. The themes we wanted to visually explore in this shoot included a movement of time through memory, broken glass, and inner turmoil. All effects were made in camera. The addition of the menagerie of glass animals comes from @esuglassguild and @esuartprogram - they were all made by @emporiastate students and faculty! I want to give a special shoutout to @jarrett898 for his ability to fully commit to whatever I ask of him during a photoshoot, even if it means thrashing around while multiple people watch and some lady photographs you 😅 thank you so much!! These students are so special to work with and remind me of my experience in the ESU Art Program literally a decade ago. Their dedication to their craft is commendable. The kids are more than alright - they’re inspiring ✨ @universityphotographers @aj.wilson92 @kelsey.looney @bavarianbaby @kalestewart

It’s time for final Art Forum of Spring 2026! Our Art Forum speakers for April will be Sam Spees and Blaine Steiner. Sam and Blaine both operate Spees Studios and their partnership offers a collaborative approach to the work they make there. Sam’s art embodies the mental process and physical skills of glassmaking. Blaine challenges the expectations of glass, both in scale and process. Together, they create a wide array of both functional and sculptural objects envisioned through a lens of memories and sensory experiences. Currently they reside in Nashville, TN. Their lecture will take place April 3rd from 4pm-5pm at the Lyon County History Center and is open to the public. Please join us and we look forward to seeing y’all there!
