Powder Coating

Class Description

Taught by NAAMA LEVIT

Powder coating is an effective process for applying a durable finish and vibrant colors to various objects and surfaces. Instead of using liquid paint, the method involves electrostatically charging and spraying finely ground particles containing resins, pigments, and additives onto the surface. It finds widespread use in industries like automotive, architecture, and consumer goods.

Our 2-day workshop aims to introduce students to this versatile finishing technique through immersive, hands-on training. Participants will learn the entire powder coating process, from surface preparation and powder application to curing and finishing, along with experimental methods like stenciling and painting. 

There will be a variety of colors and textures to sample. Students should bring their own metal items or metalwork to practice with. Any metal can be powder coated and should not exceed more than 3 inches on any side. 

*During the workshop, there will be opportunities to use the studio to create objects for coating, but we also encourage bringing completed items for practice and experimentation. Let your creativity flourish in this limitless realm of possibilities!

Class size 4 – 12 students. Open to all levels.
