Keum-boo on Silver by Celie Fago 

NEW Revised and Expanded Edition

Now 64 pages (16 pages added), the book covers all aspects of Keum-boo, an ancient Korean technique in which thin sheets of gold are fused to silver.  For metalsmiths, non-metalsmiths and those who work in PMC, the techniques described in this book provide a simple and relatively inexpensive way to add the luster of gold to silver work.  This book provides an excellent guide for beginners, and for the more advanced, Celie demonstrates applying the gold to large, hollow forms, and to complex shapes.

This expanded edition, now with over 90 color photos, includes new tips for cutting the gold, more information on burnishing tools and on the Keum-boo process itself. The newly revised section on heat sources compares a torch and various hot plates and introduces the reader to the UltraLite kiln, a tool perfectly suited for keum-boo.

PMC Decade Edited by Tim McCreight, Essay by Donald Friedlich

"It has been ten years since Mitsubishi Materials Corporation developed and patented Precious Metal Clay. The first decade of PMC has seen tremendous growth, not only in the development of additional forms of the material, but in the innovative ways that artists are using metal clay to create unique and exciting works. This high quality presentation book will be the first to showcase the best work being done around the world."
