Love gold but the prices make you faint? Come learn Kuem-Boo with us, the Korean technique of applying a small amount of 24k gold foil to your silver jewelry for a big impact. You will make simple silver jewelry to decorate with Kuem-Boo and you can also bring completed silver projects to work on. You will learn how to use simple tools and patina to master this ancient technique, and leave with your own gold embellished jewelry.
*Tools and materials not included in tuition
Kuem Boo is done at the final stage of the piece, after all soldering or fusing is completed so you can bring sterling or fine silver pieces that are completed already, or make a simple silver piece the day of. If you already have silver sheet and wire you want to use, please go ahead and bring them with you. We have silver sheet and wire available for purchase as well as solder, tools etc. here at the studio. We recommend you bring your basic jewelry making hand tools like tweezers, scissors, pliers, dowels, dividers, any extra burnishers you may have, anything you would normally use to make silver jewelry.
