Her objects always have interior and exterior space for the viewer to enjoy and interact with. 


If the Glass artist is a part of Criss, doing charity is another part of her. She is  currently the treasurer for Creative Cohesion, an arts charity where provide artists have a free studio space and business mentoring, while also working to raise money for Action Aid.
She also creates and organises the Glass course as a part of her income. Her See-Through Sand class casting classes coved clay sculpting, basic open facemoulds, rubber alginate moulds, lost wax and glass casting at Creative Cohesion, it attracted many beginners to learn the process.
There has few photos of Criss Chaney which trasfer from her website.( PLEASE NOTE ALL THE PICTURES I HAVE ADDED TO THIS BLOG WERE TAKEN USING MY CAMERA PHONE or CAMERA PC. PURELY FOR DOCUMENTING PURPOSES
