For outstanding fineness and smoothness, metallic powders have been one of the most popular items of Shizendo throughout our history. While we cannot wait to see them spark in more creative projects today, we are conscious that they are unique materials that are a little tricky to work with. Here, we have curated past articles about metallic powder so you can briefly recap everything you need to know about them- from how to use them, and how they are made, to how they are used in Japan. We hope you will enjoy working with our metallic powder.
