      <title>Introduction to Neon 1 (Mon, October 05, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;img src="https://cafac.wildapricot.org/resources/Pictures/WA%20class%20images%20neon.png" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;The first commercial neon sign was lit in 1910. More than 100 years later, neon tubes have largely been replaced by LED lighting, particularly in outdoor commercial applications. Still, neon remains a mesmerizing art form of sculpture made from light.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;In this introductory class, you’ll explore a bit of the history of neon, gain an understanding of safety protocols and the technical aspects of neon tubing, before moving on to practice bending and assembly techniques. Like playing an instrument, bending neon tubing takes consistent practice, so we recommend that you attend all class sessions. In one of the final class sessions, you’ll watch as the instructor uses a bombarder to pump, fill, seal, and electrify your neon tube, so you can take home a finished piece. All materials and components are included.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;$435 ($360 tuition + $75 materials)&amp;nbsp; |&amp;nbsp; 4 weeks, 8 sessions&lt;br&gt;
Open to ages 16 and up.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Neon 2: Complex Curves (Mon, November 09, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-weight: 300;"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#323338" face="Figtree, Roboto, Noto Sans Hebrew, Noto Kufi Arabic, Noto Sans JP, sans-serif"&gt;As you've learned in Intro to Neon 1, bending neon tubes takes much time in practice. Once you've completed Intro to Neon 1 at least a couple of times, you may be ready to work on advanced skills. In this next level class, your focus will be the more difficult glass bending skills such as combination bends and challenging curves, including letters. You'll also learn how to fine tune the torches, draw and follow patterns more precisely, and become adept at glass welding. As in your previous neon classes, you can expect to take home a finished piece. Once you've taken Neon 2, we recommend that you do Reheater to keep practicing those skills.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#323338" face="Figtree, Roboto, Noto Sans Hebrew, Noto Kufi Arabic, Noto Sans JP, sans-serif"&gt;Prerequisite: You must have completed Intro to Neon 1 and at least one Neon 1 Reheater with us, and have discussed your readiness with the instructor.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-weight: 300;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;$385 ($310 tuition + $75 materials)&amp;nbsp; | 8 sessions&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-weight: 300;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Open to ages 16 and up.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-family: Lato;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instructor:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.cafac.org/meet-the-instructors" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jon Ault&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Neon 2: Complex Curves (Mon, November 23, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-weight: 300;"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#323338" face="Figtree, Roboto, Noto Sans Hebrew, Noto Kufi Arabic, Noto Sans JP, sans-serif"&gt;As you've learned in Intro to Neon 1, bending neon tubes takes much time in practice. Once you've completed Intro to Neon 1 at least a couple of times, you may be ready to work on advanced skills. In this next level class, your focus will be the more difficult glass bending skills such as combination bends and challenging curves, including letters. You'll also learn how to fine tune the torches, draw and follow patterns more precisely, and become adept at glass welding. As in your previous neon classes, you can expect to take home a finished piece. Once you've taken Neon 2, we recommend that you do Reheater to keep practicing those skills.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#323338" face="Figtree, Roboto, Noto Sans Hebrew, Noto Kufi Arabic, Noto Sans JP, sans-serif"&gt;Prerequisite: You must have completed Intro to Neon 1 and at least one Neon 1 Reheater with us, and have discussed your readiness with the instructor.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
