Texture and Patina

In this class students will use copper and learn where to find unusual textures and patterns from everyday materials, some premade textures, and experiment with hammers for textures. Then we will have fun with a number of hot and cold prepared patinas, some variations with Liver of Sulphur, and a few chemical recipes for patinas.
