Featured Classes This Month

Special Patina Demo this Month
At our recent patina class, Anne dazzled us all with the amazing colors achieved by a hot torch combined with exotic Japanese patinas like rokusho, Baldwin's, liver of sulfur, and the one pictured here - hi-do (pronounced hee-doh). In this live demo you'll see some of these transformations happen right before your eyes. Free demos at the top of the hour - 6pm, 7pm and 8pm. Watch our 1 minute patina reveal.
