Title: The Colouring, Bronzing and Patination of Metals by Richard Hughes, Michael Rowe ISBN: 0-8230-0762-6 Publisher: Whitney Library of Design Pub. Date: February, 1991 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $85.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.33 (6 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: A remarkably useful book
Comment: Hundreds of formulae and practical advice on how to use them, and reasonably accurate descriptions of outcomes. Problems with techniques are openly discussed, not glossed over. The color photographs of patinated samples are very helpful. I wish the authors had organized the formulae for use on each type of metal by their content rather than randomly. But that is carping. This book is the most helpful one available and I have it in my shop now, experimenting with many of its recipes and techniques. An absolute "must" if you want to patinate metal.
Rating: 5
Summary: Too nice for the studio, too usefull for the library.
Comment: Beautifull book, irreplaceable info. I saw this years ago at a price of over $100 and balked, but I should have bought it then. If you are a commited bronze artist/ craftsperson and you want to get good patinas you will eventually buy this book, as it is the only one in print that is top notch in sophistication and comprehensiveness. Some might think this book with it's great technique descriptions, over 250 high quality patina chip photos, over 1000 distinct patina formulas and an incredible bibliography as esoteric and overly demanding in terms of chemistry and technique, but the rest will consider it priceless. Best patination book in print, possibly the best ever.
Rating: 2
Summary: Only for certain metals
Comment: I bought this book and found it to be very thorough with recipes and pictures for hundreds of types of finishes. However, I did find the title misleading. The recipes are only for copper, brass, bronze, and silver.
The metalwork I do is with steel and I bought the book to color steel. This huge medium is never dealt with in the book.
