blog 9 - Osh Park

Written By Melissa Glick

A sea of purple circuit boards, ready to become earrings!

Their slogan is “Perfect Purple PCBs” and I gotta agree. I love em! Osh Park has been donating to me for a few years to make earrings. They generously print up boards that I pick out of the open source data base. There is often blank board left over that would otherwise be wasted- when printing boards for their clients. Oshpark is located in Portland Oregon, but there representative Drew visited us at the Artisan’s Asylum a few years ago for an Open Source event. He was lots of fun!

Osh Park produces high quality bare printed circuit boards, focused on the needs of prototyping, hobby design, and light production. All our services offer purple soldermask over bare copper (SMOBC) and an Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold (ENIG) finish. These are suitable for a lead-free reflow process, and are RoHS compliant.

My work consists of bold colors and abstract forms, that interact with surface imagery. With playful, serendipity - disassembled technology is arranged to reveal hidden beauty. I have a background in Art History & Art Education and have been making sculptural collage with disassembled technology since 2012, when I started working at the maker space, Artisan's Asylum in Somerville, MA.
