NEONWORKSHOPS BERLIN JUNE 2015 INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF LIGHT

We invite creative professionals, or anyone with an interest in the possibilities of neon light, to join us for a summer solstice party at the glass studios of Berlin Glas eV. UNESCO has designated 2015 as the international year of light. Berlin, and its associations with Albert Einstein, seems the perfect vibrant city to embrace this theme. Berlin Glas is an impressive studio with a mission to share the skill of making art with glass. During our residency there between 18th and 21st June, we will be running a series of short courses for the general public. Experience is not essential. Please get in touch with Neon Workshops to reserve a place.
