Lite Brite Neon Studio

After the tour at The Brooklyn Army Terminal, the second half of Obscura Day was spent taking a tour of Lite Brite Neon Studio, a studio that creates…wait for it…neon signs. There were lots of reclaimed signs that they keep around the shop to reuse or use for inspiration, as well as new signs they were working on. And yes, they demonstrated making a “sign”.
