Now unlike previous episodes, I will be reading a transcript of our email conversation, this was done to remove any language barriers between us, as well as to provide a convenient and comfortable atmosphere for the interview. I was able to see Bernd’s work in person during the exhibition, and it’s even more amazing in person.
It’s been quite a pleasure being able to communicate and connect with him for the podcast. Now as much as I’ve been following him, there’s not a lot about him. Besides his website, he kinds of keeps to himself, so I would consider him a “Hidden Master” in terms of someone with tremendous technical skills as a Master Scientific Glass Blower, but also as someone who could take that and free themselves as an artist. We’ll learn about who he is, his exploration in glass through plasma, his relationship with Ed Kirshner, and how he grows from his technical and artistic practice. Show Notes

Hello Lightning Tamers!
Bought an unused Blue Spark XLR microphone @bluemicrophones recently, currenlty collecting gear to upgrade my audio for the podcast. Next up is an interface!
Unfortunately this will not necessarily improve the my guest audio, as it is their convenience that is most important to me. Enjoy! Percy Echols II Taming⚡Lighting
