In today’s podcast we have the Plasma Yoda, Ed Kirshner of Aurora Sculpture. He’s be working on in Plasma for roughly over 20+ years.
Inspired the natural occurrence of plasma, such as the aurora borealis, he’d creates air tight vessels using a glass solder technique with ready-made and productions glass object, or fabricated and collaborations with Skilled glassblowers at both the Torch and Furnace. Notably Bernd Weinmayer, Jaime Guerrero, and Mitch LaPlante in which the interplay of geometry of glass shape and volume are a big player in discovering various patterns and displays. |

I’d like to thank Ed Kirshner for taking the time to record for the podcast, and for his openness in sharing his knowledge. It was great experience working with him and Jaime for the Blow and Glow class, by seeing another process and working with him closely there’s just so much you can learn. He’s open to questions so be sure to reach out to him. You’ll find his contact information on his website at www.aurorasculpture.com 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 to help bring in these artists and instructors to help build knowledge for running plasma at Pittsburgh Glass Center, and the Plasma Art Alliance where I have access to the well of knowledge and connects me to some amazing people.

Aurora Sculpture
Plasma Art is a niche medium. It uses energized gasses to illuminate patterns in glass forms.
