Step into the world of ancient Korean metalwork and learn the stunning art of Keum-Boo [also Geumbu, Kum-Boo or Kum-bu, literally meaning “attached gold”]. This gilding technique fuses thin sheets of gold onto fine silver using heat and pressure, creating shimmering, silver-gilt jewellery with breathtaking texture and contrast.

Join us at Vanilla Ink CIC in Glasgow for a hands-on class where you’ll make your own collection of Keum Boo jewellery, experimenting with textures, patterns, and forms as you go. It’s a fascinating process that’s equal parts ancient, scientific, and utterly beautiful.
