Using mostly non-toxic chemicals that can be found around the house, as well as simple torch heating, we will change the color and appearance of copper jewelry made in class. Application of Liver of Sulfur will also be covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe focus of this course is on the diverse and exciting variety of ways to change the color and appearance of copper and brass. You will make a cuff bracelet, pair of disc earrings, and a bar pendant to test the color-changing potential of a heat patina, cold fuming, and a range of liquid applications. Studio safety is a core tenet in all of the Silver Peak Studio classes, and so of course safety will be a prominent feature for this class as well!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe will cover:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreparation of metal for patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTypes of patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBenefits\/Drawbacks of patina use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemical applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorch applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCold-fuming or Atmospheric patinas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePacked Patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSealing and Protecting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eSaturday, June 27 from 9:30-5:30\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e8 contact hours, ages 12+ located at the Silver Peak Studio Classroom 100.5 E.
