In this one day class we'll explore adding the luster of gold to your PMC designs. We'll examine two methods of adding real gold to your metal clay pieces. In the morning, we'll discuss what designs are suitable for the addition of gold, then we'll design and complete our sample projects so they can be fired during lunch.

After lunch we'll talk about Keum Boo (pronounced kum-boo) the Korean Method of fusing gold foil to silver - and how it relates to PMC. We'll go thru a simplified process of adding Keum Boo to your metal clay, and then you'll have a chance to apply Keum Boo to your sample designs. During the rest of the day we'll go thru the process of adding Aura 22 (real 22K gold) to our designs and discuss simple techniques that aren't included in the Aura 22 directions. Next we'll learn how to torch fire Aura 22 - and get a chance to apply what we've learned to our piece.

This is an advanced beginner level class so basic metal clay knowledge is helpful, but not required.
