Bending the Total Eclipse With James Akers + Kacie Lees


  • @ UrbanGlass NYC 647 Fulton Street Brooklyn, NY, 11217 United States (map)

On April 8, 2024 a total solar eclipse rips across the North American sky, blacking out the daylight and freaking out all the bugs and animals. For a short period of time the Sun’s super-hot, flickering edges become visible to the naked eye and light shifts purple. People say experiencing the total eclipse is life changing, reverent.

Inspired by the transformative power of light and the upcoming total solar eclipse, this two-day neon bending workshop will introduce students to the craft of bending neon glass over flame and illuminating our hand-formed shapes with electric current. Join avant garde neon instructors, Kacie Lees and James Akers to bend circles and curves representative of this impending phenomena. Participants can expect to leave with two units (1 circle + 1 arc).

2 Sessions: March 30 — March 31
Saturday, 11:00 am - 5:00 pm + Sunday, 11:00am - 5:00pm
