Having spent years immersed in the music industry, they honed their skills, drawing inspiration from the vibrant culture around them.

Their journey into neon art was shaped by the guidance of the UK's most experienced glass bender, a master with over 50 years in the craft, who passed on invaluable knowledge and a commitment to perfection. They learned from his company’s legacy and have now reimagined it as their own.

Amy’s love for neon originated from classic films like Blade Runner, Paris, Texas, and Tron, where the glowing lights created unforgettable visual impact. When she’s not immersed in neon, she’s cooling off with cold water swimming, followed by a strong coffee (often one right after the other). For Amy, it’s all about that perfect blend of energy and relaxation.

When he's not crafting neon masterpieces, Bill is a passionate record collector and die-hard Arsenal fan. Though he doesn't make it to the stadium as often as he used to (especially now that they're playing so well), you’ll often find him in pubs around Swansea, glued to the TV, cheering on his beloved team. Whether it's digging through vinyl or following the Gunners, Bill’s love for the things that excite him never fades.

What We Make - Real Glass Neon, Made by Hand
1
We work exclusively with real glass neon, bending each tube by hand over fire in our South Wales studio. This traditional process allows us to create neon signs with depth, warmth, and character that LED alternatives can’t replicate.
Our work falls into three core areas:
• Limited edition neon drops — small-batch designs released periodically
• Bespoke neon commissions — custom signs for homes, businesses, weddings, and events
• Neon repairs and restorations — preserving original glass neon wherever possible
Each sign is designed to last and crafted with the same care whether it’s a one-off artwork or a commercial installation. We specialise in custom glass neon signs for homes, businesses, weddings, bars, studios, and creative spaces across Wales and the UK

Keeping the Craft of Neon Alive
3
Neon is a skilled craft that is rapidly disappearing in the UK. We were told it wasn’t worth learning, that it was too slow, too difficult, and too expensive. We didn’t believe that.
After training under one of the UK’s most experienced neon glass benders, we now carry that knowledge forward in our own studio. Every piece we make is rooted in traditional techniques, preserving a form of craftsmanship that is becoming increasingly rare.
For us, neon isn’t just lighting — it’s history, chemistry, fire, and patience.
