I’ve been following the work of talented Iranian female artist, Gilda Atefatpishe.

Her artistic medium is Stained Glass and Ceramic art, but she is also turning some of her work into exclusive 1 of 1 NFTs and she can even send the physical pieces to her NFT collectors.

Imagine, owning both the Stained Glass or ceramic art piece along with the 1 of 1 NFTs.

I genuinely like her unique artistic style and I also wanted to know a little bit more about her passion and story.

She agreed to do an exclusive interview.

Question: How did you start making Stained Glass and Ceramic art? Is it a long Persian tradition passed on from generation to generation?
