Neon Tony, a masterful glass bender from South-East London, has illuminated the artistic realm for over three decades. His journey began in 1989 at a London sign company, where he discovered neon’s artistic potential beyond commercial signage. Moving to Manchester in 2001, he honed his craft and became a consummate neon artist.

In 2005, with the support of his wife Catherine, Tony founded Neon Creations, a studio in Bolton that quickly gained recognition as a leader in the UK’s neon industry. His bespoke pieces, commissioned by major brands, musicians and premiership footballers, showcase neon as an expressive art form. Despite no formal artistic training, Tony stands among the few UK neon artists who design and craft their own works, each evolving into something unexpected.

Forever pushing boundaries, he integrates neon with diverse substrates to amplify its impact and evoke a sense of wonder. His philosophy, ‘never stop learning’, guides both his apprentices and his own creative exploration.

Tony’s story is one of passion, perseverance and artistic excellence, proving that neon is not just light, it’s storytelling in its purest, most luminous form.
