Summer greetings from Taming Lightning! ☀️⚡

What a season it’s shaping up to be! I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be out in the world this summer — first at the Glass Art Society Conference at Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, NY, and then electrifying Plasma at Pilchuck Glass School, teaching new ways of using kilnformed glass.

These are incredible opportunities that I’m deeply grateful for, and I can’t wait to bring everything I experience back to this community.

That said, I want to make sure you’re fully in the loop about what this means for Taming Lightning Store orders so nobody gets caught off guard.

📦 Shipping Cutoffs & Return Timelines

To make sure your order gets out the door before I leave:

• Orders placed at least 2 days before each departure date will be shipped before I head out.
  • Ship-by deadline for Window 1: May 29th
  • Ship-by deadline for Window 2: June 18th
• Orders placed during either away window will be held and shipped 2 days after I return.
  • Orders placed May 31st–June 7th ship by: June 9th
  • Orders placed June 20th–July 4th ship by: July 6th

⚠️ Important Exception: Drop Shipping

Orders from the following suppliers are handled as drop shipping— meaning they ship from the supplier, not from me personally:

• Global Rare Gases
• Alta Robbins
• LumaLaser

These orders will be processed upon my return and are subject to the same timeline outlined above. If you have urgent needs for any of these products, please plan accordingly and feel free to reach out with any questions before I leave.

I’m so grateful for this community’s continued support, which makes opportunities like these possible. I’ll do my best to stay connected on social media during my travels, so follow along on Instagram and Facebook for updates from the road.

As always, if you have any questions about your order or timing, don’t hesitate to get in touch before the blackout windows begin.

Keep on glowing — and I’ll see you on the other side of summer!

With gratitude,
