Just 14 weeks at the National Neon Institute in Benicia, California and director, Lee Champaign, says you can get a job anywhere in the U.S. A year and you can make a decent living. Don't worry, you needn't be a Rembrandt. An artist creates the design. Your job is to bend the glass to match the design.
