Advanced Patination Course For Those Wanting To Learn More Advanced Colours and Techniques
Your Instructor
Paul Joyce has over thirty years of experience in the production of fine art bronze casting and patination. He has worked on both large and small castings, most recently the life-size K9 Memorial in Chelmsford for the artist John Doubleday for whom he also cast and patinated the 9ft Sherlock Holmes sculpture in London, the life-size Gerald Durrell at Jersey zoo and the Herbert Columbine VC memorial on the seafront at Walton-on-the-Naze. Other artists he has worked with are: Christopher Marvell, William Pye; Dorothy Brooks; Zadock Ben David; Glynis Barton; and numerous other contemporary artists.
He has specialised in producing complex patinas for artists such as Robert Aberdein and Theo Gillick whose work demands the use of a large and complicated palette of colours and techniques. He has been employed by various foundries to train their patination teams and has most recently taught members of the Tate Modern Gallery Conservation Department on how patination effects are achieved so that they can better understand the patination process in their conservation work.
Join us for an advanced session on patination with the support and expertise of a highly experienced tutor.
Take the time to work on one colour and master the perfect shade.
Tell us what you'd like to learn and we will tailor the day around your interests.
This course is usually of value to those who have either taken our foundation course or who have prior experience with patination. It's ideal for those who would like to tackle more complex colours such as blues, greys, whites or patterns such as marbling.
You can shape the day if you tell us in advance what you'd like to work on or if there's a particular interest in knowledge you'd like to fill.
