Shape Up with Kate Hush

Do you relish a rhombus? Want to try for a triangle? Can you spare a square? In this intimate semi-private lesson, two promising pupils will work directly with their instructor to create a classic neon shape. Choose from an array of modern runes, each one both chic and timeless. These simple forms can transform a space without being beholden to time, place, or epoch - and are forever on trend. Sign up today and prepare to mark your territory with light.

What to expect: Neon is a unique and complex artform. In this introductory lesson, you will complete one simple neon shape or squiggle (no text). You will work with glass tubing at the torch to bend and manipulate the glass. 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.
