Bojagi: Cloth Gift Wrapping Workshop

Discover the inspirational qualities of the ancient tradition of Bojagi (Korean wrapping cloths) and piece together your own gift-wrapping cloth using traditional Korean silk fabrics. Learn about the symbolism and traditional use of colour of other Korean textile items in the Museum collections.

In the workshop you will learn how to piece your wrapping cloth with a Garumsol (whip stitched) seam.

Sara will also show you how decorative techniques including bakjwi maedup (Bat knot), settam sangchim (triple stitching) and jatssi (pine nuts) can be used to embellish the wrapping cloth.

All materials required for this one day workshop are provided in the kit.
