Plasma, Neon, and Beyond
This workshop is for artists interested in creating neon and plasma light sculptures. We will start with basic theory and then dive straight into flameworking techniques geared toward making lighted sculpture. We will cover the basic glass working techniques with borosilicate, fill our sculptures with gasses, discuss plasma and neon power supplies, and provide vendor information for all the equipment. This workshop will not include traditional neon tube bending. All levels. Flame studio.
