Neon Illumination is a form of lighting in which glass tubing is heated and formed into letters and shapes. Then through and electro-chemical process, the “bent” tubing lights up when an electrical charge is applied.

Craftsman that produce neon are referred to as “tube benders,” as opposed to “glass blower.”  Individual pieces of neon are usually referred to as “units” or “glass,” not as a “bulb.”

The neon tubes are bent by hand following paper patterns depicting the desired shape.  A thin brass screen separates the paper pattern from the hot glass. The pattern scorches slightly but does not burn.

As a professional tube bender, I am able to design, manufacture and install all of my own displays and art pieces. This allows me complete control through the entire process and results in both spectacular and innovative results.
