Keum Boo EarringsJanuary 8, 2:00pm - 5:00pm (ALREADY PAST)Jewelry Design Class By Vilina HutterClass Fee: $95.00Kit Fee: $85.00Skill Level: All
No experience needed! Learn to create these unusual earrings in this introduction to the ancient Korean
art of keum-boo, where 24 kt gold is fused to fine silver and patinated to create this 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.
Skills covered in this class include depletion gilding, cutting and placing foil, fusing, and patinating the
metal, and finally polishing and finishing.
Silver blanks will be available in a selection of shapes, and availability may vary. Cost of the kit with all
the components needed to make earrings will be $85 including the silver ear wires, in addition to the
class fee of $95.
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.
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 three days before the show, due to the planning needed for
travel and supplies.

purchase if desired. If you prefer to have the tools delivered to your home address, that option is also
available.
