Weekly ⚡ Picks – Gift of Failure

• The workshop contraints meant that patrons were making softball sized globes.

Problem:

• Globes or powersupply would heated up, and would shut off after 15min.

Reasons:

• globes were too small = powersupply being too powerful
• globes were filled to high of pressure 

Solutions:

• making larger shapes
• filling at lower pressures 
• using krypton gas to get filamenary 
• using a powersupply with lower power

There’s a lot of different ways to solve it, when it comes to the workshop there’s more to be explored. 

In the end I had to make a best decision for the workshop, and had cancelled my May Plasma Globe workshop. Reminder this is NOT the summer 5-day intensive taught by Wayne Strattman and Mundy Hepburn. I have to give myself more time to research to allow local novice patrons to experience Plasma at PGC. While is may not fit the format of a 2 day experience, it has potential for multi-week class structure.
