Keum Boo Jewellery Making Class

Bring ancient techniques together in this unique jewellery class in Glasgow!



4 hours Class size 1 to 8 guests       £160 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Learn the ancient Korean gilding technique of Keum-boo (also Geumbu, Kum-Boo, or Kum-bu, literally meaning "attached gold") in this Glasgow jewellery-making class.
Keum-boo is the art of applying thin sheets of gold to silver to create a beautiful piece that shines in both metallic colours. It's great for beginners and accomplished jewellers looking to pick up some new skills. It's a mesmerising and satisfying craft.
During this four-hour silversmithing workshop in Glasgow, you will make a collection of beautiful and unique jewellery. This age-old technique includes saw piercing, soldering, roll printing, texturing, and finishing, and a supportive and friendly teacher will be on hand to help you through every step.
You will be given a piece of silver and gold leaf and have plenty of encouragement to craft your own DIY jewellery through various techniques, which you can then take home and cherish!
Vanilla Ink invests the money from their classes into a Social Enterprise Programme. This allows them to bring silversmithing and jewellery-making to vulnerable, disadvantaged, and/or deserving people.
