Introduction to Neon
Join us for an exciting introduction to neon making! This workshop will be focused on getting participants into the studio, bending glass, and illuminating their own art. Each student will walk away with a gestural illuminated sculpture—contained and ready to be displayed in your home! Students should expect to get a feel for the way glass tubing is manipulated in a flame and leave with a basic understanding of how neon works. This is a great opportunity for folks who have no glass experience and for those interested in neon art!
No previous experience is necessary. This workshop includes lunch in Pilchuck's historic dining lodge.
Participants must be 18+ to sign up.
My work is the visual manifestation of my values and emotions. It is most often my daydreams which spark my imagination as the mind wanders beyond self-imposed boundaries. I employ the associations of familiarity and comfort attached to foodstuffs and mine a deep fascination with color and light, to evade my audience's taboos and engage in a camouflaged yet frank dialogue about sex, sexuality, sexual health and consent.
