Neon 2: Continuing

Now that you know the basics of Neon art, learn the basics of letter bending and splicing - taught by David Cooper.

What to expect
Neon 2: Continuing will extend from the knowledge of basic bending, with a focus on lettering, how to sequence bends and splicing glass. The class builds on the skills of Neon 1 to break down the process of making a design into a workable neon layout, and will explore how to determine the appropriate materials, loading and accessories to complete the work in real time.   

What to bring
Please bring a water bottle and your enthusiasm! This class has a break for lunch, you may bring your own or purchase lunch locally. You must wear fully closed shoes, natural fabric clothing, preferably non-synthetics, long hair pulled back. You must wear your prescription glasses over contact lenses. All materials and safety equipment for this class will be provided. 

What you will make
You will make up to 2 bent neon works, one of which will be bombarded with neon and ready to take home with you at the end of the workshop. You will receive a guide on how to care for your neon and one transformer to plug it in at home. 

Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 4.30pm with a suitable break for lunch.
