Vibrant color options await your command when you add powder coating to your skill set. Borrowed from heavy industry, our scaled-down approach gives you a simple strategy for applying a durable, colorful surface to almost any metal object--a surface that's striking on its own and full of potential for combining with other jewelry/metals techniques. This 4 week class will teach you proper metal preparation, application of thermoset powders, and proper curing for a durable finish, and you will coat and cure each week during class. Cold connection constructions will be also be covered. This is a perfect class to incorporate any kind of small metal objects, junk jewelry, or metal bits of unknown pedigree which you can optionally bring to class. The instructor will showcase design possibilities and cover what you need to create a home studio set up. Prerequisite: None.
