An experience to illuminate your weekend. Full day of high voltage, as you watch demonstrations and learn how to twist your tubes.
WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
Bring your shades, and roll up your sleeves for a full day of demonstrations, exercises and creation with glass, fire, electric and noble gas.
Richard William Wheater is a neon artist of international standing. Now you can take a class with the best. The Neon Workshop company is established in Wakefield. It houses a gallery, workshops and a significant public resources library. The company makes and installs neon. Their commissions come from artists, galleries, the retail sector and individuals. Their neon work has cropped up in stately homes, private gardens, theatre sets - you name it, they can make it.
TELL ME MORE
This is an energetic and practical full day introduction, with two tutors, into the brilliant, flash and fizzle world of neon. Neon is an energy saving, recyclable light, and the Neon Workshop aims to challenge common expectations of the material, so be prepared to be inspired by the skill of your teachers.
This is a beginner's course, but you will be taking home a piece of neon you have designed and made. Your piece will be processed on the 'electric bombarder' and illuminated to take home and plug in. Blow lamps will be provided, and a quick coffee break.
Get ready to light up your life.
