Crucible Gifty Sale and Open House
December 19, 2004
Bryson went to the Crucible sale --
we'd intended to ahev a full table of neon,
but just didn't pull it off in time...
Next year!
Meanwhile, here's some stuff that was in the show.

Plasma -- loading the kiln
November 17, 2004
here's some pics of our pieces loaded into the kiln.
Note anything being soldered *must* be braced, because it can slide
during firing. Also, any bracing against glass requires some
kiln paper to prevent the piece from cracking against the brace.
Plasma -- third pumping
November 10, 2004
Here's more pieces being pumped out.

Plasma class, fall 04, second pumping
November 3, 2004
This is Ed Kirchner's and Chrictian Schiess' plasma class at the Crucible.
This was the second batch out of the kiln to pump with gas.
Most of these pictures are Normond's globe made from two glass bowls
soldered edge to edge.
They are pumped with a mix of xenon and neon, which produces green fingers.
Pay attention to the sizes of the files -- there's some small but sweet movies!

Last day of classes
July 29, 2001
Anne's colored strip,
and [I forget this guy's name...]
who made a framed piece in which the neon had to *just fit*.
He struggled with it the whole class...
But it looked *beautiful* when he got it done!
