1. “Neon Sign”
Taught by Jo Roseberry
Cost: $45.00
Skill level: Beginner
Half-day, morning

You will be making EITHER an “OPEN” OR “EXIT” neon sign.

This class will provide you with the technique of using electroluminescent wire to create unique, in scale “neon” signs for your bar, club, store or other vignette. The sign runs on its own power supply so does not need to be wired into the project. It will only take a half day for you to understand and utilize this knowledge to complete one of the signs pictured above. You will then be able to make signs, with line pictures as an option, in almost any color you desire. You WILL finish in the time allotted and leave with a working sign for your project!
