Clay to Collector – The Bronze Casting Process
“Pals” Patina, View Two ~ Step Fourteen: The PATINA ~ Person Twelve: The PATINEUR
Although I personally chase each of my waxes and check each finished metal, due to the handmade nature of the casting process, each cast and each patina will be similar, but unique. After all, each is crafted by hand, one at a time.
Volumes have been written on the subjects of mold making, casting and patina. I hope you have found this overview interesting and enlightening. Recommended reading:
