Take your sculptures to the next level – add unique light effects with plasma!
Over the course of this workshop, participants will design and fabricate a plasma lamp of their own design while learning about the science of gas discharge tubes in a creative environment.

Topics covered will include tips for sculpting borosilicate glass for plasma, application of phosphors, safety, gas mixtures, adding electrodes, capacitive coupling, and much more. This class meets from 9am to 5pm each day, Monday through Friday, with additional studio time Monday through Thursday, from 5pm to 9pm. Materials for participating in the course are included.
