Welcome

We're Amy and John and Toaster Oven Art (TOA) is our newest creative outlet. Rather then bore you with our details let's get to the art. TOA was a bit of an accidental discovery while talking with a fellow artist. She suggested that powder coating using a toaster oven was possibly a new technique for making jewelry. Having many failed attempts at torch fired enameling and not looking forward to spending a large sum on a kiln we were looking for an alternative.

Powder coating is an industrial and automotive coating for protection against heat and chemical environments. It is extremely tough and resistant once cured, we've banged on pieces with a hammer, bent and folded them with no cracking. Best of all though is the curing temp of just 400 degrees is easily done in a toaster oven found at a yard sale or super store. While professional coaters use a static gun, we'll get to that, our trial and error process has been done using simple tools that we had from enameling.

Look forward to showing you more and remember to keep your oven door closed, A&J
