A 2-hour taster session on how to make neon. Blow, stretch, and fuse - blow lamps provided.

WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?

This is a two-hour taster session. First off, you will be introduced to glowing examples of neon art. There will be mesmerizing demonstrations of cutting, blowing, stretching, bending, and fusing glass with flame. Then the tubes will be filled with gas and illuminated with electricity. It's almost magical. You will be able to have a go yourself and take home the results. You may produce more of a squiggle than a major artwork, but you will be able to plug it in as soon as you get home.
