Sandblasting at Artisans Asylum

Sandblasting prepares a piece for powder coating or other finishing. It can also be a good way to clean a piece before TIG welding.

This course will cover using Artisan’s sandblasting cabinet, what can and cannot be blasted with our equipment, as well as shop safety and etiquette.

*This class includes Tool Testing on the following tools:

• Learn safe use of A2’s sandblasting equipment
• Understand the necessary precautions and safety equipment
• Become familiar with shop etiquette
• Know how to properly clean and reset the equipment for the next user
• Be approved (tool tested) to use the sandblaster independently and book use time in Nexudus

Kit Siegle is a queer, non-binary artist based in Central Mass, and a tool tester in the sandblaster and powdercoating shops. Their metal shop projects have included an oversized Chinese checkers game and a set of display wings, both made from upcycled materials.
