Future date to be announced. We'll discuss and demonstrate the basics of metal patinas using chemicals that will convert both ferrous and non-ferrous metals into a stable colored surface that will resist changing both indoors and outdoors. Metal patination is an ancient craft that has been used for centuries to color metal. Today, we have a wide variety of chemicals to do this and we will show how easy it can be. We also have a variety of sealers to choose from to preserve a patina, whether it is going to live inside or outside. Each participant will get a set of patinas, sealers and metal pieces onto which we will practice applying a patina as well as some basic instructions. We will not be covering nor demonstrating faux patinas in this class.
