Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this glass blowing class:

In Brooklyn Glass's 8 Week Letter Course students will focus on learning the skills required to bend letters and work from a pattern. We will begin by mastering basic tube bending techniques and layout & design preparation in order to move on to bending block letters. Students will also be introduced to post-production work such as wiring, mounting, and hanging a neon sign.

Students can expect to finish three projects over the course of the class-two smaller neon art pieces and one final piece, all designed and bent independently, with assistance from the instructor. This will be an intensive course, beginners and advanced students alike are welcome.

Unlike other neon workshops, our classes are housed within a fully functioning neon shop and neon product warehouse allowing us to offer all the materials needed (various color tubing, power supplies and wiring, and hanging materials) on site, and our instructors are specialized in digital layout design, electrical program, and glass fabrication.

Students will be provided with a neon bending tool kit to keep for future studio use, and one neon transformer that will light up to 2 small units. Additional transformers can be purchased on site if needed.

Studio Attire

  • Eye protection is required at all times when working in any area of Brooklyn Glass. Studio Renters and/or teachers in any area of Brooklyn Glass are responsible for making sure their assistants and/or students wear the eye protection at all times.
  • Appropriate clothing must be worn at all times when working in any area of Brooklyn Glass. NO synthetic fibers such as nylon or rayon are allowed in the Brooklyn Glass studios. Loose fitting cotton clothing is best.
  • Shoes must have closed toes and backs. Long hair must be tied back when working in any area of the Brooklyn Glass studios. You may wish to cut the toe out of a tube sock to be used for covering arms.

Please Note: If you miss one or more sessions during your 8 week neon class, you are able to attend ONE makeup in the form of a one-day neon rental. During this make-up class rental, there will be specific glass designated for the students. Pumping the pieces, adding electrodes, and using materials beyond the designated glass will be an additional cost. Neon pieces can only be picked up. We cannot ship out neon student-work.

How is the parking situation near the shop?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi there! There is no parking available for students. Parking is moderately difficult, typical West of Prospect Park and Park Slope parking. Hope this helps.

Question from Daniela L.
How does this compare to the 2-day, 10-hour $500 Brooklyn class taking place June 23-24th? What type of student is better fitted for each class?
Answer from Kristle C. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi! The 2-day class covers basic intro techniques such as basic bends, however, if you are interested in learning more complex techniques and precise bending, the 8-week class will be a better fit. The 2-day class will lead each student to make an organically shaped neon squiggle. In the 8 week class, students will focus on bigger projects that they will work on weekly.
