Shop Talk

Join Powerhouse Arts expert staff and fabricators for a one-on-one virtual conversation. In these 30-minute sessions, our team is available to advise on projects you’re currently working on, to troubleshoot technical challenges, to explore innovative applications of materials, and to offer thought-partnership in your creative endeavors. Just have an idea you want to workshop? We’re here for that, too!

These sessions are free of charge and open to all artists. You do not need to be a present or future Powerhouse Arts client to participate.

Your consultation will be conducted via Zoom. Meeting details will be provided upon confirmation.
