About this event
Explore the colorful powder coating processes for jewelry and mixed media projects! Weeklong Workshop: Powder Coating Approaches Date: Monday, August 10 – Friday, August 14 Time: 10am – 5pm (daily!) Description: Color is such an important visual element and powder coating is one way to add vibrancy and personalization to your jewelry and artwork. In this workshop, we will be demystifying the process and offering up accessible solutions that are low cost and low mess that you can do at home. We will start our journey into powder coating by talking about how to properly prepare metal. We will then go into the different approaches to powder coating and dive into the fundamentals of sifting, stenciling, different types of sgraffito, and drawing on powder coated surfaces. From there, we’ll push the boundaries and go over how to powder coat non-metal materials. We will also set aside time for participants to work on personal projects that incorporate powder coating.
