About This Workshop
Make A Neon Sign Together With Expert Tuition
Discover the magic of neon sign making with a friend, partner or family member, with our immersive full-day workshop. This hands-on experience offers expert two-to-one tuition 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.
Please note that you will not get as much individual tuition time per person with this option compared to the one-to-one workshop. You will create one piece between the two of you. We encourage participants to chat with us about their design at least a couple of weeks before the workshop.

Everything You Need To Know
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there any preparation required?+
We encourage participants to chat with us about the design they would like to make, at least a couple of weeks before the workshop. Shapes, outlines or initials are the most achievable in the timeframe.
What can I expect on the day?+
You will be greeted by a member of our team, given a brief history of neon signs and a tour of our workshop. Working directly with one of our skilled 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 is spent with you both bending the glass to make your design.
What will we take away?+
You will create one piece between the two of you. If you would rather take your creation home on the day, we allow time for gas filling and assembly. Alternatively, our craftspeople can complete the process after the workshop — collect or arrange delivery at an additional cost.
Who is it suitable for?+
Suitable for anyone aged 14+. Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult. No prior skill or knowledge is required. Beginners, creative enthusiasts, couples, friends and family are all welcome.
How much does it cost?+
The full day two-to-one workshop is £850, including a neon power supply. Backing panel fitting is available at an additional charge.
What should I wear?+
Loose clothing should be avoided if possible and long hair needs to be tied back. We provide safety glasses.
Are refreshments provided?+
Whilst we provide drinks, we suggest bringing a packed lunch on the day.
