In today’s podcast, we’ll be talking with Pat Collentine about
the differences between traditional neon and plasma, as it relates
to both art and lighting. Unfortunately, due to software issues we
were not able to record the entire conversation, but today’s topic
will be covered in full.
Pat Collentine is a Glassblower and sign maker of Tesla Neon
Studios in Chico, California, as well as an is an artist and
educator experimenting in Plasma Neon. We met back in 2014 at
Pilchuck Glass School, where I took his class called Interactive
Light. It was my first introduction in what plasma is, and it
spurned my interest in neon and doing it myself. In that process,
he’s been a great friend and mentor.

Thank you for listening to the first episode of Taming
Lightening Podcast, we have many more guest to come, and some
returning to expand on questions and practices of variety of
subjects. I like to thank Pittsburgh Glass Center for supporting me
as well as encouraging me to pursue this project. We have just
begun, but have already gathered interest in hosting instructors
for the next summer classes. Also, I’d like to thank Pat Collentine
for his time and his mentorship, as well as the Plasma Art Alliance
whom many of my guests are connected through.
