3-D NEON/ARGON Glassblowing Workshops

Welcome to the formal HANDS ON NEON/ARGON WORKSHOPS, specializing in NO ELECTRODE PLASMA frequency excitation of noble gases. All workshops are about 14 hours long, Saturday and Sunday beginning at 8:00am and ending at 4:00pm.

All workshops are especially designed for STUDENTS WHO HAVE THE BASIC GLASSBLOWING SKILLS. Students must be able to make butt seals, T-Seals, hollow blown spheres, etc. All Workshops include the making of your own artistic objects and are taught the evacuation procedure with the back filling of Neon/Argon gases. A NEON 21/115 frequency transformer must be wired properly and placed in a beautiful display box that is provided for every student.

Notice: If you want to be set up INDEPENDENTLY to produce 3-D Plasma Art objects, you will have to invest in a rotary vacuum pump of your own. A vacuum pump can cost up to $1,200.00. You will also need a custom-built glass manifold GAS DISTRIBUTION FILLING STATION. I CAN FABRICATE for you this NEON/ARGONGAS induction system for $780.00

Workshops are taught whenever two students express an interest in the same scheduled dates. All Workshops are taught in ANN ARBOR, Michigan with a maximum of 5 students. Schedules are subject to change. TRAVEL INFORMATION included for interested students.
