Welcome to Getting Bent, where I keep the art of neon bending alive while sharing my journey of creativity and craftsmanship! My name is Matt Walker, and I’m reviving the legacy of my late uncle Jimmy-better known as Hobo-who taught me the timeless craft of bending glass into glowing works of art. After inheriting his neon-bending plant, I’ve made it my mission to honor his memory while exploring my own path in this vibrant craft.
Alongside my neon creations, you’ll find a mix of DIY projects, creative tips, and hands-on tutorials as I dive into building, fixing, and crafting in my workshop. Whether you’re a neon enthusiast, a DIYer, or just curious about the glowing world of glass art, there’s something here for everyone.
Join me as I share the stories, skills, and sparks of inspiration that keep the light glowing-one bend at a time!
