Powder coating is an exciting method of applying bright colors and textures to metal. The process uses an electrostatic charge to adhere powder to metal and the powder is then cured under heat to form a tough, durable skin. This typically industrial process produces smooth color surfaces that last longer than paint or patina. In this workshop, you will learn to prepare metal, apply powder, cure, and cold connect parts that move to produce striking one-of-a-kind pieces to take home. All materials included.
