Course Details: Keum Boo. KB2. The course aims to introduce students to the art of fusing fine gold foil (24ct) to a finished piece of sterling silver jewellery On this course you will learn the ancient Korean technique of Keum – boo. The application of gold to silver is both beautiful and cost effective, and over the 2-day workshop we will also highlight additional techniques that can be applied to further enhance the contrast of colour and texture to produce highly individual pieces of jewellery.
