Hello Lightning Tamers!

This is episode number 51. And in today’s podcast, I’ll be joined by Wayne Strattman, an innovator in lighted glass plasma technology, as an artist, designer, researcher, teacher, advocate, and author. Having recently published a new book called ‘The Art of Plasma: Creating lighted sculpture with gas, glass and electricity, Strattman reveals the history, theory, and practice of plasma art, and from that history, we’ll be talking about plasma lighting before the discovery of inert gases talking about one of the under-recognized pioneers of gas discharge lighting known as Daniel McFarland Moore for his Moore Tubes!

Show Notes

 I hope you enjoyed the podcast. 

Thank you Wayne for another podcast. And you my listener, please check out his book ‘The Art of Plasma’, it has a very well organized history of our field from the technology and innovators that make what we do possible and all in bit sized readings that you can use to dig deeper. If your interested in hearing some of those histories let me know, I’d love to share them with you!

Lastly  I’d like to thank Pittsburgh Glass Center for supporting me as a place of research and inspiration, the Plasma Art Alliance, and the Facebook group Neon and Plasma Art for Beginner, where I have access to the well of knowledge and connects me to some amazing and supportive people.
