In this one-day immersive experience, students will learn the basics of bending neon as applied to the shape of a heart. Students will follow along with an illustrated guide which visually breaks down each step in the bending process into key moves, work with a bending pattern & get in the fire to form a unique heart shaped by their very own hands.

What to expect: Participants can expect to leave with 1-2 spliced units. Read more about how to prepare for class on our Registration Info page.

With neon work, participants primarily engage in standing activities such as bending and assembling neon tubes over a torch flame. Working with glass materials requires a certain level of dexterity. Learn more about accessibility on our website.

Eligibility: No previous experience required. Open to ages 14 and up.

Pick-up: Neon tubes may be bombarded during class, however should processing take additional time, students will have to return to UrbanGlass once notified to pick up their work.

This is an in-person class taking place on-site at UrbanGlass. Health and safety guidelines will be emailed to you upon registration.
