Chaotic and Cantankerous Caduceus Rockets

J-Line | Workshop

Saturday, 02/17/2024, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM

Presented by: The Jackalopes

Max Attendance: 40

Class Fee: $10

Another chapter in the Jackalope’s pyrotechnic exploration of all things twisty and spinny. These little sizzling and searing serpents consist of two black powder endburner rocket motors secured askew to a crossed rocket stick such that a serious amount of corkscrew accent will be achieved. Think of these as akin to an expedient version of the thrilling and at times terrifying girandola. Less materials, less fusing and less assembly time but darn near the same amount of pyro fun.

This seminar will begin with a brief technical discussion of the endburner motors used, how these fun devices are built and then switch into the hands-on building domain where participants will assemble their very own Caduceus Rocket with spectacular effects. Participants can then return to the J-line during openshooting to light their creation. A ‘lighting time’ schedule will be announced during the seminar to make enjoying your creation straight forward.

Participation limitations: We will have supplies for the construction of 40 Caduceus Rockets. Buddying up is encouraged. Make fee payments directly to the Jackalopes when you arrive at the workshop.

Safety: Eye protection required during seminar. Evening open shooting – You will be in Jackalope Gulch so of course you will need all the usual B-line safety gear. Come prepared and have a fun time. Jackalope line safeties will oversee all pyro device ignitions.

About the Jackalopes… If you ever wondered if them wabbits with horns are for real – wonder no more. Hailing all the way from the dusty domains of Dismal Nevada, Jackalope Brand Fireworks is more conceptual than physical. Drawing inspiration from Maltese, Tultepec and early Americana pyro traditions Jackalope Brand wants to remind folks that pyro has a rich and varied vernacular. To these ends the members of Jackalope Brand draw on a wide array of artistic talents including, but not limited to, pyro art, machine art, painting, paper mache, blacksmithing, cardboard art, set construction and audio design. The most important takeaway is that the Jackalopes put the fun in pyro!
