Description:

With our welding goggles and fresnel lenses you can turn playa dust into midnight beads of glass with the midday sun. Mount your glass on a pendant at our jewelry making station, and learn about the chemical composition of playa dust, and the glassmaking process. ***Not a rain or shine event! You can melt dust only when the skies are not cloudy. ***

While you wait: take a self-guided tour of our sciencey-art posters. Magical metamorphoses transform water in to electricity, rainforests in to tasty burgers, and cats in to quantum superpositions.

New for 2022: Visit our latest experiment: Lucid Booth. The Playa Glass engineers have cooked up a way to induce you into a fully self-controlled lucid dreaming state--in just 30 seconds! This nighttime experiential art piece can be found on the deep playa: Sunday, Monday & Tuesday nights.
