On day one, participants learn the three foundational maneuvers — curve, bend, and seal — while exploring how heated glass tubes are shaped and manipulated through guided exercises and experimentation. On day two, students work with a selection of clear and colored tubing to design and create a custom neon piece of their own. We will build essential safety skills, gain an understanding of traditional neon craftsmanship techniques, and experiment with light, color, and form. Beginners are welcome, and more advanced neon students are encouraged to expand their skills and creative practice.What to expect: Participants can expect to leave with 1-2 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.

The organization provides access to and an education in glass for professional artists, seniors, students, and members of the public of all backgrounds and familiarity with the material. We offer year-round free and low-cost programming through our 17,000 square foot studios, robust class schedule, fellowship and scholarship opportunities, exhibition center, and in-house printed magazine.Founded in 1977 by a group of dedicated artists, UrbanGlass sought to confront the many barriers limiting creative access to glass such as the high costs of real estate, equipment, and the scarcity of technical expertise. From the organization’s conception it served as it does today: As a creative hub and unparalleled resource center for artists, enabling this material to become available for experimentation beyond the confines of factories and universities in New York City for the first time. Today, glass is seen as an integral component of contemporary art’s complex landscape." } ] } ] ```
