Patination is the process of applying hot chemicals to the surface of a bronze. The piece is heated with a blowtorch as various chemicals are brushed on or sprayed on. The chemicals oxidize the bronze and create colour on the piece.  Patination is an art in itself, and creates the final look of the piece.  Once the patina is finished, the sculpture is sealed with a clear wax and ready to enjoy.
