BENDING BASICS
Discover the art of neon bending! We are offering a basic neon bending class.
Sign up for our »BENDING BASICS« course and learn the basics of this fascinating craft.
The art of neon and the bending of neon tubes is a fascinating craft that requires a lot of practice and expertise. In our »Bending Basics« class you will learn the basics of neon bending in small groups, the correct handling of glass tubes in the fire, free bending as well as bending following to a pattern. When trying out glass bending for the first time, it is important to be patient and having time to learn the techniques.
You will receive enough material and professional support to make your first neon attempts. Of course you can take your newly bent glass tubes home with you as a souvenir!
If you are interested, write us and tell us two possible dates. Write to neon@buchstabenmuseum.de
We look forward to your participation!
