The techniques of metal colouring, bronzing and patination are assuming a new importance in contemporary fine metalwork and design. Richard Hughes and Michael Rowe have assembled and tested the recipes in this book, which is the most comprehensive work on the subject currently available, an essential reference and sourcebook for practitioners and all those involved in sculpture, architecture, design, and the decorative arts. It brings together hundreds of recipes and treatments previously scattered in a variety of old books and technical papers, and provides the artist-craftsman with a very wide range of coloured finishes.

5 of 5 The Patina Recipe Encyclopedia Thursday, November 06, 2008
Justin from Colorado  

This book starts out with some history concerning diferent patinas throughout time. It them jumps into multiple different techniques, application types, chemicals, shop requirements, and much more. Then we see individual pieces with patinas applied to them. It covers many different metals and has all of the recipes throughout the book. It also covers some of the hazards with each recipe. An absolutely must have if someone is looking deeper into patinas and application abilites.
