In this one-day workshop, Emil teaches a rare technique: gilding with gold leaf, a very thin layer of fine gold, and Keum Boo, a slightly thicker gold foil. The method is an old Korean gilding technique in which a silver piece receives a thin layer of pure gold.
The gold bonds permanently and will not flake off, so it can be combined with other techniques such as soldering, rolling and hammering to create unique designs. You can work on your own finished pieces or simply practise the technique on a silver sheet.
The course suits beginners, those with some experience and advanced makers alike. Gold leaf and Keum Boo can be bought at the venue.
