Since I'm working more in bronze, I am interested in learning about enhancing my patinas. If you are interested, please consider joining me! We can carpool from the Boston area.
Here is the workshop description from Melanie; In this two-day workshop, we will break down the process of hot patina application for silicon bronze, beginning with surface preparation and finishing with sealing methods. We will discuss a variety of chemicals and I will demonstrate application providing tips and tricks to make your patinas sing. This workshop requires no previous experience and is for anyone looking to broaden their understanding of patina. Whether you’ve applied your own patinas or are simply looking for the vocabulary to better
communicate with your foundry, this workshop can help. If you are looking to begin working on your own patinas, this workshop will get you on the right path to setup shop in your own space. We will
discuss best practices and the patinas demonstrated can be based on the needs and questions of the group. Yes, we will cover silver nitrate on Day 2!
