Installations

Nate Sheaffer

Nate is the father of Glas. His 30+ years as a neon artist has made him dedicated to bolstering the appreciation, knowledge, and manufacturing of American Neon.

After graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill in the late 80’s, Sheaffer was inspired to begin specializing in installations featuring neon lighting. His distinctive style consists of adding colorful neon wording and designs to found objects, sculptures, and canvases.

Jon McLendon

I’m really into vintage motorsport and have managed to find a career path that allows me to gather the skills I need to make these old things fast. I’m in school getting my aviation maintenance licenses and have worked in various metal fabrication and precision machine shops over the years, I’ve learned I need something with a tangible satisfaction after a day of work so keeping my hands busy is vital.
