Laurie Wagman Visiting Artist and Artist-in-Residence series: Percy Echols II
Percy Echols II is passionate about plasma or plasma neon, a process requiring the technical and artistic expressions of glass with the alchemical and scientific application of excited gases and specialized equipment used in neon. He is currently perfecting a mobile plasma lab at the Pittsburgh Glass Center to conduct demonstrations for the public. Soon he’ll be able to take this portable station into schools as a teaching device that will allow students to realize the wider possibilities of crossovers between art and science.
Supported by the Laurie Wagman Fund in Glass Art at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture.
