Creating Neon With Montreal’s Neon Family

In a converted two-story industrial building in Montreal, the Ateleir Neon Family is keeping the light alive. Gérald Collard and his company create commercial art in neon signs, with complex designs that are more than just a logo or call to eat at Joe’s. And when Gérald isn’t bending tubes, he’s teaching — 25 years at the Espace Verre glass school.
