Neon Sign Maker Bends Glass in Kitchen

Cool twilight air fills a Barbacena kitchen where a neon sign maker bends glowing glass tubes over a flame. The room glows with reflected neon light, casting orange and blue hues across stainless steel counters and ceramic tiles. The artisan leans forward, hands steady as the flame shapes the heated glass. Quiet shadows stretch along the walls, deepening the contrast between the bright work area and the dim corners. Wooden cabinets line the background, their surfaces catching the soft glow of the arc. A metal clamp rests on the counter, holding a finished curve steady. The flame flickers against the cool season air, creating a small circle of intense heat in the center of the room.
