Two-Days in Space with Kacie Lees

Making neon is working with the raw materials of space to form contained and luminous, subatomic interactions. In Two Days in Space, participants will source inspiration from the cosmos to bend planets and galaxies out of circles and curves, and pointed stars out of 180° bends. In the flame shop, students will work with clear glass and have a selection of color tubes to choose from as their practice evolves. Participants can expect to leave with two space-centered shapes and one neon power supply to complete their very own spacescapes. Beginners and advanced students welcomed!

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. 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. Early registration not only guarantees your spot in class, but also helps to ensure the class will run. Classes with low enrollment may be cancelled within two weeks of the start date of class. Contact our Registrar of Education, Ari Eshoo, at [email protected] if you have questions about the class or would like to arrange a payment plan.
