Thank You for listening to the Taming Lightning Podcast. I’d like to thank Glas and the participants at the Plasma Parley for being such great host and giving with their time and feedback, and to Steven Cole for taking time to record for the podcast. It was thanks to his support and encouragement that I even recorded for the Plasma Parley at all. I travel with my equipment in tow, but still hesitated to put out the suggestion. Even with all that I’ve done so far, I can be intimidated by the process. But like with anything once you get rolling it doesn’t matter how you start.

Thank You for listening to the Taming Lightning Podcast. I’d like to thank Glas work and the participants for being such great host and giving wither their time and feedback. I have left out some other participants such as Bruce Suba and  Steve Cole, as I’d like to get back to them for their own standalone episode, and would love to revisit Nate after he’s had sometime working and playing with plasma, to see where they are grown. Also, I'd like to thank Pittsburgh Glass Center for supporting me as a place of research and inspiration, as well as encouraging me to pursue this project and to help bring in these artists and instructors to help build and spread their knowledge, and the Plasma Art Alliance where I have access to the well of knowledge and connects me to some amazing people.

We’ll talk about Kirshner’s background pre-glass, where he’s studied architecture and sculpture at Cornell University, the University of California, Berkely, and the Oskar Kokoschka School in Austria. Having work represented in the US and internationally we’ll talk about his current work and projects,  Teaching and the Blow and Glow Class at Pittsburgh Glass Center, and his thoughts on the future of Plasma and the Plasma Art Alliance. ​

He’s open to questions so be sure to reach out to him.
