My husband took me to a date night class for my birthday, and we had an amazing time learning from DJ and getting to watch a master at work! DJ breaks the whole process down and explains each step while you get to watch it happen live and (as safely as possible) up close. We left with a fabulous unicorn friend who's going to find a place of honor in our home, plus a road trip's worth of museums and shops to check out and a newfound appreciation for and understanding of this relatively young medium. Thanks, DJ! Might just have to come back to nerd out with you some more.

100000% GO HERE! I had an old sign that kept shutting off without authorization. I just stopped by on a random Friday afternoon to see if it could be fixed. Not only did she fix my sign- but did so right on the spot and had everything that was needed for the fix- oh-and was a very reasonable price. The shop was very cool, and had all sorts of fun neon doo dads. I would go take a class here to learn from her! I just wish I hadn't put off fixing this sign for so long.

I took the two person / date night class with a friend a few days around the 4th of July. We hadn't planned a class in advance, but DJ was super accommodating and helped us get a design together and plan a sign within three days. The class itself was fascinating. An exploration into the history of and science of neon lighting, the way that it has evolved over time, and the role that it plays today. The class was fun and not stressful. It was a unique experience to mold glass, but DJ broke it down into easy to follow steps and actively demonstrated the process with a live build. I would definitely do this class again. Very excited to put up my new neon sign.

This place was great, really good service. They took great care of my neon sign and they got it working. Their shop is really cool. I could spend a lot of time looking at all of the tools and interesting stuff. I would definitely recommend.
