Meet the Makers Behind
South Wales Neon
South Wales Neon is one of the last traditional neon studios in Wales, specialising in handcrafted glass neon signs made using time-honoured flame-bending techniques. Based in South Wales, we design and create bespoke neon signs, limited edition art pieces, and neon repairs for homes, businesses, events, and collectors across the UK.

We met at school and later spent years immersed in the music industry. That shared creative background shaped the way we approach neon.
-
Our journey into neon was shaped by one of the UK's most experienced glass benders, with over 50 years in the craft. He passed on invaluable knowledge and exacting standards.

We create bespoke commissions, limited edition pieces and restorations. Every piece is designed and bent by hand in our South Wales studio.

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 bending glass, 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 bending glass, 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.

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.
