You will first learn some of the history and science of traditional glass neon and the base of the methods behind bending glass neon tubes before trying it yourself!

Time to get comfortable in the fires practicing without diving into a pre-designed pattern. In this class, we make 2 or 3-dimensional, free form pieces like waves and squiggles. Do not book this class for specific designs or drawings. Come with an open mind!

We will look at your creation in details and see if we can turn it into a light for you! You can then pick up your light 3 days after the workshop. Any additional transformer, acrylic base or more are subject to extra charges.

NEON lights are hand made from glass tubing. The words or shapes are bent by our experience tube bender using fire. Once the shape desired is finished the tube is starting a full cleaning process using high voltage and then the same tube is filled with noble gas. Different type of gas are used depending of the colour you will pick, Neon is by definition red when it’s on, and argon for example is a light blue. Portions of the sign are painted black to stop those parts of the tube from glowing. This creates separations between letters or design elements.

NEON light are bright, and have a 360 degrees light all around the tube. We can mount the tube on pretty much any surface.

NEON signs generally have visible wires and insulating caps where the wire connect to the neon tube. They also have a transformer which can be mounted on the backing of the sign, or hidden in a ceiling panel, or simply put on the floor. There are ways to keep the transformer out of view, please ask for more info if this is a concern.

Due to the fragile nature of glass, we do not ship traditional NEON light, you can pick up your sign at our studio or we can install it for you in Dubai and other Emirates for an extra charge.
