Fee: Class: $100.00 (required) / Kit: $95.00 (required)

Skill level: All Levels

Skills covered in this class include depletion gilding, cutting and placing foil, fusing, patinating the metal, and finally polishing and finishing.

No experience needed! Learn to create unusual gold and silver jewelry in this introduction to the
ancient Korean art of keum-boo, where 24 kt gold foil is fused to fine silver and patinated to create a
unique effect.
Keum-boo is a simple but precise process and the instructor for this class will walk you carefully and
thoroughly through the process step-by-step, as we all create earrings that are your interpretation of
those shown in the illustration. Each step will be carefully demonstrated and explained, but you will be
able to bring your own design ideas to the project.
When you leave class, you will not only have successfully created your first piece of wearable art?but
you will also take with you a comprehensive handout, with fully illustrated step-by-step instructions to
help you get started in your home studio, plus a detailed list of tools you need and where to buy them.
If the time and date of the class you want to take is unavailable, please email the teacher at
studiominerock@gmail.com. We will either make room or put you on a waitlist in case another student
can?t make it.
Please, no requests for refunds less than five days before the show, due to the planning needed for travel
and supplies.
