Electroluminescent Wire is wire that glows brightly when fed electricity. It's incredibly useful for supplemental lighting, costumery and all sorts of neat hackish projects. It's easy to work with, once you get some basic soldering techniques under your belt.

In this workshop you will learn the basics of working with electroluminescent wire.

This will be a half-day, drop-in workshop where I will provide all the equipment and supplies available you'll need to get yourself started with the art and practice of working with this fun medium.

EL wire, drivers and other materials will be available for sale during and after the workshop.

As a 13 year resident of Seattle and a 5 year citizen of Black Rock City, Mike still hasn't had his fill of pulsing lights, thumping bass and towering flame. A 2007 vow to stop using disposible glow necklaces led Mike to organize a group buy in the summer of 2008 of EL wire and associated accessories with about a dozen fellow Seattle-area burners. He recognized a need for a local resource for EL wire & similar products for area artists & burners, and in early 2009, Mike started SeattleLumin.com, a local resource for EL wire & related accessories.
