INSTRUCTION

Jacob Fishman currently offers instruction in the art and science of neon glass bending and artistic lampworking at many venues including his glass studio in Northbrook, Illinois.

The Northbrook sessions are presented on a one on one basis at a level determine by the student. The sessions are tailored meet the needs and time constraints of each student. Local folks usually attend lessons once or twice a week while people who travel from a far stay for one or two weeks for a long intensive study.

A typical day consists of one to five hours of instruction with the remainder of the day set aside for practice time at no aditional cost.

Workshops and demonstrations can also be arranged for presentation at other venues including schools, libraries, and commercial shops.

"I started presenting glass workshops back in '82. These workshops featured traditional neon sign making techniques and elements of illuminated sculpture.

Since that time I put together many traveling seminars for artists and sign makers. Some of the best were at the Penland School of Crafts."

Here are some highlights;

 
Class Project from Penland's 1st Neon Workshop

Art in Heat, was the theme for our studio at The Penland School in the summer of '93. This was Penland's
first neon class and was truly a ton of fun. It was this workshop where David Wilson joined the team.

Post-Conference Workshop
Experimental Techniques with Neon; at The Spruce Pine Batch (The Drive-in) was absolutely a gas. A Glass Art Society post conference workshop produced this work over a three day period. A similar workshop will held at Penland this summer.

GAS '95 was our first Experimental Workshop. The theme of this 3-day post conference workshop was "Animals". At this workshop David and I met Sally Prasch.

At GAS '95 the focus was to combine the hot shop with the neon shop.
