Patine is the enhancement of bronze through the chemical application of color. We have our own patina recipes, which result from a mixture of various chemicals, pigments and different application techniques, creating a wide range of different colors. The patinas are applied in a specific space in the workshop, and the sculptor can watch the patina being applied to his sculpture. For those who wish to learn, we also provide support so that the patina can be applied by the sculptor himself in our workshop. Many sculptors choose to spend the day with us trying out various types of patinas on their sculptures until they are satisfied.
