Hi! Do you like rocks? Do you like pets?? 

DO YOU LIKE 3-D PET ROCKS MADE OUT OF NEON WITH GOOGLY EYES?!!  

Then this class is for you ! 

Join neon artist Leticia Maldonado in this beginner friendly three dimensional neon workshop. Students will break from traditional flat patterns and bend a three dimensional sculpture using the guides provided. Each rock friend will have its own gesture, personality, and shape as  the student explores ways to describe mass with tubing. Big googly eyes are provided and will be affixed to each work after the bombarding process but are completely optional! Students will leave class with their own fully functional glowing pet rock friend. Great for a table top or bookshelf display!
