The PATINA TOSCANA course
NEWS 2024
The Toscana Patina, an innovative technique, the result of years of experimentation and perfected in 2024, offers a revolutionary approach to furniture aging. Unlike in the past, this technique will allow you to work on already painted furniture, thanks to a combination of new products. The old recipes have been revisited and harmonised, making the process faster and more accessible. This represents a real revolution in restoration: during the first phase, more technical, it will be easier to obtain the striking "craquelé" effect, without sacrificing the quality of the result.
One of the most fascinating aspects of the Tuscany Patina is that, after having acquired the basic technique, you can fully express your creativity. In the second phase of the course, dedicated to the creation of color through glues and pigments, you will have the opportunity to customize each project according to your taste. This technique, which combines ancient art with modern innovations, will offer you a unique and rewarding creative experience.
During the course, you will learn step by step the fundamentals of the technique working on moulded wooden boards or small objects that we will make available in our workshop. Everything will take place on a large common table, where each of you can focus on your own tablet, before moving to the consolidation phase, which will take place working together on a single piece of furniture (that we will always provide). In this way, you will experience both individual and group work, further enriching your experience.
For this technique you do not have to bring any furniture: you will take home with you the tablet, while the furniture on which you worked together will stay here.
The Tuscany Patina is also distinguished by its practicality. The furniture or products you will work on in the future should not be returned to raw wood, but a good sanding will suffice. In addition, they will not need to be made of solid wood, making this technique suitable for a large variety of pieces.
Finally, the Tuscany Patina also has a sustainable soul. Through the restoration, furniture of all kinds, both of value and more modest, can be renewed and enhanced, giving new life to the original shapes and structure. In an age dominated by consumerism and excessive waste production, learning to restore value to what we own is, in our view, a gesture of great responsibility and a dignified choice.
