Neon Classes at Peterson Neon

Patch Hofweber

Stephen Coles turned me on to the neon classes being held at Peterson Neon in Emeryville.
It’s a hands-on experience with little preparation required. Come join me?

From Peterson Neon:

Highly recommended. You'll walk away with a neon piece of your own design and never look at another sign the same again.
