Square One Neon

Calling all neon-phyts! Now is the time to launch your fluorescent futures with square ones, triangle ones, squiggly ones, and all the other ones, in this new and exciting weekly introductory neon course. 

In Square One Neon students will learn the basics when it comes to making your own neon piece from start to finish. Design, fabrication, wiring, and installation - we’ll cover it all, and then some. This class is geared towards the total beginner, but is also a great refresher course as well, all skill levels are welcome. 

What to expect: Participants can expect to leave with up to 6 units. Clean-up time is included in the duration of class, and usually the last 20 minutes of class are dedicated to cleaning your workstation. 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.

We recommend registering for classes early to reserve your spot! We base materials, and teacher needs off of student enrollment. Early registration not only guarantees your spot in class, but also helps to ensure the class will run. Classes with low enrollment may be cancelled within two weeks of the start date of class.
