Glow with the Flow

Service Description

Glow with the Flow Neon Experience (2.5 Hours) Instructor Stephanie Lifshutz Bring your artistic vision to life by creating your own neon light! In this hands-on introductory workshop, you'll learn the entire process of turning hollow glass tubes into beautiful, glowing neon art. Starting with the basics of glass tube bending using a torch, you'll make your own geometric shape to take home. By the end of the class, you'll have completed your very own shape. Once your piece is ready, you’ll watch as it’s pumped with noble gas and lit up. The class will conclude with a step-by-step guide on how to wire, mount (for indoor use), and care for your neon art before you take it home. What to Expect:
 Neon art is a fascinating and intricate craft. During this intro session, you’ll create a basic neon shape or squiggle (no text). You’ll work with glass tubing and a torch to carefully bend and shape the glass into your design. Eligibility: 
No prior experience needed. Open to participants aged 18 and older. Pick-up:
 You will typically leave the class with your completed neon piece. However, if the instructors are unable to pump your piece during the session, you will need to return to Var Gallery at a later time to pick it up. This is an in-person class held at Var Gallery & Studios. Register Early:
