Book List | Rocky Mountain Smiths

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.
