A long winded ode to wood and it's magical properties. Plus more confusing drifts into institutionalism and it's hang ups.

Episode 37 - Stained glass 58:38

1y ago58:38

58:38

A basic primer of how to create a stained glass object. The only problem is I ramble on about being a personal trainer, the benefits of taking psychedelics and rollerskating and aggressive snacking. Great for naps, not much else. If you're into stained glass, this will probably just frustrate you. If you're a weirdo crafter, you might get a kick ou…

1:04:12

An attempt at describing the very technical process of rolling up cane and murrine on a collar into a bubble, a very specific hot glass process.

Episode 31 - Adhesives 1:08:27

1y ago1:08:27

1:08:27

A long winded description of all the different kind of adhesives that I could remember. There are more than this, but I think an hour is more than enough time to ramble about glue. In case that wasn't boring enough, I try to explain my very confusing take on art institutions, The Arts and the role of the artist as adversary to it all.…

Have you thought a lot about concrete? I have. So much so that I thought it would be fun to talk for an hour about the technicalities of concrete, portland cement and aggregate. How silly!

1:14:13

Now that I've covered the basics of coldworking, I thought it would be fun to go deep into more specific cutting techniques like battuto and inciso. Very long winded and detail oriented, but potentially accessible to all levels if you listen carefully. Also good for naps.By Elias Hansen

Very emotional, a great way to …

Episode 16 - Coldworking glass 1:01:46

1+ y ago1:01:46

1:01:46

This one is actually about coldworking. I got it switched up with the last episode, so things got a little out of order, but that's what you get for listening to a free podcast from some dude in his car. Very technical, but not as confusing as Chocolate Cake and Depression. The intimate and technical details of cutting and polishing glass. Way more…

Originally I posted this as "Coldworking Glass" but I got it mixed up when I uploaded it with "Chocolate and Depression". Very fitting though.

Since y'all did such a good job sitting through all my boring technical talk, I thought it would be nice to confuse you with explaining how confusing and convoluted art fairs and galleries are.

Because "Sheetrock and drugs" was such a big hit, I thought I better follow up with some more super technical and confusing and not necessarily totally correct pipe fitting information. I just got done with a big gas pipe job and I've got this stuff fresh in my mind, so it's very smooth and good to sleep to. Minimal "ums" and yawns, but still way t…
