Hello Lightning Tamers,
This is Episode number Ten! “ Light up your World with Plasma” Thank you for patience. It’s been long 7 months, since our last podcast episode.A much needed hiatus after my Dad had passed away. I’ve been struggling to find my light, but I knew my Dad wanted me to keep going and to do something I love, and this podcast and exploring this medium is definitely part of that.
In today’s episode I’ll be talking about the first plasma class offered at Pittsburgh Glass Center taught during the 2018 Summer intensive by Wayne and Mundy. In which future episodes in the line up will about the Plasma Resources compiled for that class by Anders Mikkelsen who was one of our TAs.
By the end of this podcast I hope to leave you with overview on that class, a few things I’ve learned leading up the class, and some fundamental guidelines for making Plasma Glass. Mind you the guidelines will continue to be modified and expanded upon as we have more people practicing and sharing their discoveries.

Thank you for listening to the Taming Lightning Podcast. I’d like to thank Wayne and Mundy for bringing an awesome new experience to PGC, and for being great mentors and friends on this plasma Journey. Some honorable mentions as it comes to this Episode would be Ed Kirshner, Chris Burak, Gavin Tiernan, Pat Collentine, Anders Mikkelsen and Aaron Ristau, among those of the Plasma Art Alliance Community and growing Plasma Family, as I would not be able to get this far without being able a share, exchange, and explore new information, this has allowed me to put together something as comprehensive has these Guidelines.
Also, I’d like to thank Pittsburgh Glass Center for supporting me as a place of research and inspiration, as well as encouraging me to pursue this project, and the Plasma Art Alliance where I have access to the well of knowledge and connects me to some amazing people.
