Jed Schleisner combines art and science to build and restore iconic neon signs.
For decades, Jed Schleisner has built and restored neon signs. While changing technology has led to a decline in the use of these iconic signs, Jed keeps busy as one of the last neon artisans working in the Fox Valley. Along with the signs he makes and fixes for clients, Jed has also built his own collection of classic American signs, a collection that went on display in 2014.
