Neon Display: Techniques and Handling

This course will describe and demonstrate various techniques to display and mount neon signage and artwork. Students will learn how to evaluate a neon structure (neon tube) in terms of how it may inform the display or mounting method. Different materials utilized for supporting neon will be discussed, along with demonstrations of the tools involved. Owing to the somewhat fragile nature of the glass tube, information will be provided as to how to best handle neon tubes during transportation and mounting for display. Participants are encouraged to bring their own neon creations from previous UrbanGlass classes.

Please note - we will not be creating neon signs during this class. This is exclusively for students who already have signs they would like to learn how to mount.

More info on our Covid policies can be found here. Our top priority is keeping our community safe. Due to the spike in cases in NYC, we are asking that all students consider getting tested for COVID-19 before coming to class and if you test positive to remain home. We also ask that if you were recently directly exposed to COVID-19 and are awaiting test results that you do not come to class. In any case, we will work with you to find another class placement or refund you the class fee.
