I am a high school art teacher and want to show my kids how to finish some
of their more sculptural works with patina finish, or other techniques that
mimic metal. I had a teacher show me this once a long time ago with
relatively low effort and nice effect. If I remember, we painted the object
with gold paint and then dripped ink on it once it was dry, then kind of
scuffed it up with a paper towel. In this case we used bisqueware, I don't
know if it would show as well with stoneware.
I also saw these commercially sold "patina" finishes, but those looked like
they were intended for use on things that were actually metal.
Anyone have experience with this type or similar technique or advice?
Thanks!

Petra Wonders,
I do clay modeling projects with my students that we finish with a faux
patina. Once the work is bisque fired, they give the work a solid
coating of gloss black spray paint, the cheap Wal-Mart kind. Once dry,
we use Amaco's Rubb-N-Buff. The color I find looks the best is the
antique gold. I have the students apply with their finger to avoid
blotchy areas. If they screw up, which they do, just touch up with the
spray paint and go again. They finish by gluing black felt to the bottom
to avoid scratching Mom's tables!!! The finish, when done right, looks
very close to cast bronze...without the cost!!! There are a couple of
examples on the student gallery on our web site.
