Glass Bender: Wil Kirkman
Wil Kirkman is one of the last “glass benders” in Idaho, those who know how to make neon art. His neon signs can be found all over Boise, where he is based, and he’s in demand to repair old signs as well. We watch as Kirkman makes a neon butterfly, first bending a glass tube, then curing it with high heat and filling it with argon, and finally wiring the pieces together to bring the art alive.
