Big Bar Sign
I was asked to make a light up bar sign for the Rabbit Hole Stage at Glastonbury Festival.
It had to be big, colourful, pretty, safe, strong, waterproof and look good during the day and night.
It was agreed that I would do everything apart from the arty bit in the middle. This bit would be painted on site by a friend.
Here it is, ready to be taken on site.........
