This workshop is about making Lichtenberg figures. A Lichtenberg figure is a piece of art though the multiplication of a few thousands of volts to burn wood. We will cover the science behind this art form as well as the safety and lastly we will be getting hand on experience in being able to using high voltage transformers to make these burnings into wood and make coasters you can take home.

I am a high voltage enthusiast. I made my own demo fusion reactor earning me a spot in the plasma club. I also made the Toorcon18 taser badge for the badge building competition. I enjoy building and making things just with a few thousand more volts then most people.
