In Chapter 1 of the Intro the Plasma series with GEEX, I mentioned that the Elements of Plasma, is something I came up with as a way to organize the varying knowledge, process, skills, and techniques that goes into the completion of a plasma lamp or sculpture. These Elements are Vessel Crafting, Alchemy, and Technology.

Now it may be a bit confusing since we also use the same term, Element of Plasma to talk about the parts that make up the plasma vessel. I would like to help clarify that mislabeling by substituting Anatomy of Plasma Sculpture. Which comprises a glass envelope(vessel), gas mixture, electrode, and transformer.

To the left, I’ve included the Instagram post depicting those parts.
