Welcome to a world where metal transforms into art through the ancient craft of patination. Our studio doors are open for one special weekend, inviting you to witness the magic that happens when skilled hands meet raw materials. Our master technicians will guide you through our extensive archive of patina finishes, each one telling a story of craftsmanship and innovation. You'll discover how we transform copper, bronze, and steel into works of art, learning about the traditional techniques passed down through generations alongside cutting-edge methods that push the boundaries of what's possible. From the subtle greens of verdigris to the deep, rich browns of liver of sulphur, every patina in our collection represents hours of experimentation and refinement. Watch as our experts demonstrate the delicate balance of chemistry and timing that creates these stunning finishes, and learn about the tools and techniques that make each piece unique. This is your rare opportunity to go behind the scenes of a true craft speciality, where chemistry meets artistry and every piece tells a unique story. Whether you're curious about the process or passionate about metalwork, our team will share their knowledge and enthusiasm for this ancient yet ever-evolving craft. Come and explore the alchemy of patination – where science, skill, and creativity combine to create something truly extraordinary. You're invited to discover the magic that happens when metal meets the master's touch.
