Class Description:
Turn silver into something extraordinary with the ancient Korean technique of Keum-Boo. Using heat and pressure, you’ll permanently bond rich 24k gold foil to fine silver and sterling silver —no solder, no plating, just pure gold fused to metal.
Discover how surface preparation, texture, and thoughtful design can transform simple metal into striking, high-contrast jewelry with luxurious flashes of gold. We’ll explore a variety of application techniques, experiment with patterns and finishes, and discuss how to incorporate Keum-Boo into your future work.
Perfect for metalsmiths looking to add a touch of luxury—and a new favorite technique—to their jewelry-making toolbox.
Note – This is a techniques based class where you can leave with samples to use in pieces later on, or if you wish to make earrings or a pendant, we will have some pre-cut blanks that you can use.
