Light and Shadow—Electro-etching and Keum Boo on Steel. Urban Metal Studio
In Person
$125, discounted for multiple classes
April 28, 29 and May 1, 2023
Phoenix, Arizona
This three-day workshop is an exploration in creating steel jewelry, with an emphasis on two techniques: electro-etching and Keum Boo. Whether you have experience working with steel or are new to this fabulous metal, this workshop will provide the skills you need to create beautiful etched steel jewelry with the glow of gold using the Keum Boo process. Whether intaglio or high relief, etching adds beautiful dimension to steel jewelry. The addition of Keum Boo—gold foil bonded to metal—elevates etched steel to a whole new level by creating a play of light and shadow across the dimensional surface. This workshop is all about creating intense drama by electro-etching steel and then adding a layer of fine gold or fine silver foil (or combination of the two) that bonds seamlessly to the hills and valleys of the etched surface.
