Discover the magic of neon sign making with a friend, partner or family member, with our immersive Neon Sign Making Workshop. This hands-on, full-day experience offers expert two-to-one tuition (one crafts person to two participants) where you’ll get an introduction to traditional glass bending techniques and craft your very own neon sign. This is real neon, and not an LED imitation.
We encourage participants to chat with us about the design they would like to make, at least a couple of weeks before the date of the workshop, so that we can manage expectations as to what is achievable. This means that you get to spend more time making your design on the day, rather than spending time deciding what to make. We find that shapes/outlines or initials are the most achievable in the timeframe.
You will be greeted by a member of our team, who will give you a brief history of neon signs and how they are made, and a tour of our amazing workshop, so that you can understand the different steps of the process and learn some interesting facts about neon.
Working directly with one of our highly skilled neon glass benders, you will both chat about bringing your design to life, followed by an introduction to flames and simple bends
The rest of the day will be spent with you both bending the glass to make your design.
Please note that you will not get as much tuition time per person with this option, compared to the one to one workshop.
Depending on how long the making takes depends on the design itself. If you would rather take your creation home with you on the day, then we would need to allow time for the neon tubes to be filled with gas, and then assembled onto the backing panel and wired up to the neon power supply (if you choose this option), so would need to take this into account for the design.
If you would rather spend more time making the design, and then leave our craftspeople to complete the process after the workshop, then you can arrange to collect from us at another time, or we can arrange for delivery at an additional cost.
You will create x1 piece between the two of you.
Our full day one to one workshop is suitable for anyone aged 14+ (under 18’s to be accompanied by an adult). No prior skill or knowledge is required, we will just need you to pay close attention to instructions being given at all times. Beginners, creative enthusiasts, neon lovers, are all welcome.
The session will last around 8 hours with approx. 30 minutes break for lunch.
The full day two to one workshop is £850, and this includes a neon power supply to illuminate your design.
If you would like your creation to be fitted onto a backing panel, with transformer on the back so that you can easily hang it up, and plug it in, then we are able to supply different backing types for an additional charge
Loose clothing should be avoided if possible and long hair needs to be tied back. We provide safety glasses.
Whilst we provide drinks, we suggest bringing a packed lunch on the day.
The session takes place in our workshop – Unit H6 Swan Business Centre, 4 Higher Swan Lane, Bolton, BL3 3AQ.
