Hello Lightning Tamers!

There's quite a few classes I will be teaching this summer, so I thought to make is easier for students or rather co-learners to find information to become familiar with (so we can maximize class time) as well offer instructors something that may be useful, I've compiled what I have provided in student letters. This will be a living article that I will continue to update.

Let me know if there are more things you would like to see added!

Hello Lightning Tamers!

I'm promoting a lot of different classes, most of which are summer intensives. And coming this Spring I will be adding a plasma class to the Pittsburgh Glass Centers programming. To clarify, this class  are for those local to Pittsburgh. 

I'm excited to be able to carry on Ed Kirshner's knowledge of using enamel as a solder to create vessels for plasma and as a method for attaching the electrode or tubulation to soda lime glass. Please check out the resources below!

If you have questions or would like to request private lessons in plasma, please contact me at percy@taminglighting.net or percy@pittsburghglasscenter.org.
