Neon Paperclips: 2-Day Class, 9/12-9/13/26

Neon Paperclips: 2-Day Class with Joanne 2-Day Class Saturday & Sunday, July 12th & 13th, 2026 11am - 6pm Location: Museum of Neon Art - 216 S. Brand Blvd, Glendale, CA, 91204 Price: $600 Hold on loosely while we keep it all together! Join us on Day 1 as we guide students through each step of creating a neon paperclip - from working with a bending pattern to heating glass over fire. Three turns in a tube of glass is all you’ll need to properly secure a few sheets of paper. You’ll be fasten-ated as we celebrate the humble paperclip, a wondrous piece of compressed ingenuity! Students may make up to (2) paperclips to mount on a corkboard (or (3) paperclips (without corkboard) to be assembled into a chain/snake). On Day 2, we will demonstrate what it takes to process a glass tube into a neon light and guide students through wiring and mounting their finished projects onto a corkboard to create their own personalized vision/gratitude board (or assembling into a chain/snake to be hung from a ceiling). Students are encouraged to bring in their own keepsakes to decorate their corkboards for a personal touch! (Example: photographs, ticket stubs, stickers, push-pins, festival beads/wristbands, charms, etc.) Class Price Includes: Use of safety glasses and neon bending tools / equipment Practice glass Glass for final project 2 processed units w/ 11"x14" Corkboard; OR, 3 processed units w/o Corkboard (for a chain/snake) 1 transformer Tube mounts / supports Electrode covers GTO Wiring Hanging Accessories Optional: Post-it notes, push pins, googley-eyes For ages 18 and up Member Discount (Argon level and higher): Enter MONAMEMBER at checkout for $50 off your class!
