About this Event

Create a stunning, one-of-a-kind personalized metal sign that you designed and made yourself!

In this hands-on class you'll get to experience two incredible fabrication techniques back to back. We've already pre-cut and cleaned your metal blank so it's ready to go. You pick your design ahead of time, then show up ready to make something amazing.

Here's how your class experience works:

🎨 Powder Coating Lesson starts in the shop where you'll learn the basics of powder coating. You'll apply your chosen color to your metal blank and run it through the curing process. When picking your color, keep in mind that the laser engraving burns to a dark grey, so lighter and medium powder coat colors will give you the best contrast and make your design really pop!
⚡ Laser Engraving Lesson begins once your piece is powder coated. You’ll head to the Digital Lab where you'll get a full introduction to laser engraving. You'll learn how the machine works, set up your pre-selected design, and engrave it right onto your freshly coated piece.
