Hey
guys,
A bit
of a belated blog about an awesome course I went on a couple of weeks ago. Barry
White playing on the radio reminded me!
The course - http://www.neonworkshops.com/ - was an intensive introduction
to neon (aka cold cathode lighting) ran by Richard William Wheater. I learnt
lots of interesting facts and skills, such as neon is 100 years old in 2012.
Also that I wasn't very good at glass bending, however I do intend to have
another go and i'm sure practise will make perfect.
Richard
William Wheater also runs 12 months of Neon Love with Victoria Lucas - http://12monthsofneonlove.blog.com/ - The project is formed using a sequence of twelve lyrical
statements, borrowed from well-known songs that feature the many configurations
of love. Presented over a year in large red neon text, twelve expressions of
intimacy, adoration and heartbreak are visually re-presented to an unsuspecting
audience going about their everyday lives.
I have
attached a photo of the Barry White lyric below - hence the
reminder!!
Amw
