Ep 71. "Glass Kid" Part 1 (An Interview with Jerrad (Jay) Santmyer)

This whole interview was brought to us by the lovely Faith Frazier; She invited us to a magical art day where Rico and I met the wonderful, Jay (Jerrad Santmyer or on IG: @glasskid). 

As his interview will illustrate, Jay is a wealth of knowledge, eager to spread the love of glass. He's known for minatures in the glass world; Little jars full of fantasies, small wine glasses, bowls, baggies of nuggets... really anything! We're also, pretty sure, he broke some record for smallest, functional, bowl. 

There is no way to share the joy that is meeting and knowing Jay. He's such a kind, giving, talented, and true human; Figures we'd meet him via our friend Faith who brings the same kind of passion to cake decor as Jay does with glass. 

This is a great time, all the way through. We hope you catch part 2 next week. As Jay says up-top... Glass is endless!
