Dates: Tuesday and Thursday, Evenings 6 – 9pm
October 1st – 10th (4 sessions)
Tuition: $300 + $65 Kit Fee (tax included in materials price)
In the first section of this course you will learn how to make cold connections with both wire and tube rivets to create works that have movable sections, are decorative, and have spacers in between layers. Students will also learn how to imprint metal with the rolling mill for textures and other patterns to incorporate into their keum boo project.
In the second section of this course, you will dive into the gold of the keum boo process! Keum Boo is an ancient art of fusing gold to other metals that originated in Asia. Students will learn to apply the gold to their works with the use of heat and burnishing. Argentium will be the main other metal of this course for the final design where students will be encouraged to create a work using their skill set and new riveting skills to create a pendant and/or earrings.
Gold is not included in the kit fee. It will be available for purchase through the instructor during class. The Keum Boo gold foil (1” aprox.) is about $12.00 per student.
