Set Pieces for Beginners
Tent 3 | PIT Crew
Friday, 02/16/2024, 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Presented by: Lynden King, PIT Crew Staff
Set pieces, also known as brightwork, have been made for hundreds of years to augment various kinds of displays. Often shown as large words or flags, many approaches to this art can be used, sometimes dictated by materials available and/or how the piece will be displayed.
Using lance, drivers, and a bit of woodworking know-how, we’ll build dynamic set pieces to be displayed in Saturday and Sunday night’s displays.

About Presenters
Lynden King
Lynden King was first introduced to fireworks displays by John Sullivan of the old California Fireworks Company (Red Devil) when he was 16 years old. John helped Lynden get his license a month after he turned 21 in 1973 and Lynden did his first show a few weeks after that. He has been putting together firework shows for over 50 years and is involved in about 20 firework displays a year, all of which are partially or completely electrically fired. Lynden has been a member of the WPA since 1997 and several years with PGI.
