Today L6 Craft students had a fantastic workshop with @neonworkshops , @richardwheater , @aprilkeystudio and @billparnellartist .

The students got a crash course in all things Neon through getting hands on with all the processes and producing some samples. And importantly experience Richard’s famous Neon Quiz, well done @emmamitchison_ for winning!

A huge thank you to @richardwheater and @aprilkeystudio for your time and knowledge.

Team building isn’t just a box-ticking exercise at Lights On, it’s an essential part of how we connect, create, and grow together.

We took a break from the studio and headed to @neonworkshops in Wakefield, where we spent the day exploring the art and craft of neon under the guidance of acclaimed artist Richard Wheater. It was a hands-on, inspiring experience that lit up more than just the workshop - it sparked ideas, conversation, and plenty of laughter. #hepworthwakefield #neonworkshops #lightson #teambuilding
