Bojagi for Beginners Series with Moonhee Han, Saturday 12 & 26 August 1-4pm
125.00 - 145.00
Bojagi (보자기) is a traditional cloth from Korea that is used for carrying, wrapping or covering items.
In Korea, it has been widely used by people of all classes for centuries.
I am very happy to introduce two basic covering bojagi during the two workshops. These are aimed for beginners. So even if you are new to bojagi making, don't be hesitant. Once you learn the basic hand sewing techniques, you will have the freedom to make the process your own. Please come and enjoy creating beautiful and functional bojagi that bring joy to your daily life.
Material charge of $15 is included in the class fee.
Course Outline:
Saturday 12 August- Sagak Dagwabo (사각 다과보) Food cover bojagi
It is a square-shaped covering used for dagwa (refreshments). The design has 4 square pieces connected together. It is a great bojagi for early beginners. During this session I will
a) introduce Korean silk and help the students to handle it.
b) teach the basic and simplest hand sewing techniques for early beginners.
c) introduce and teach making and attaching basic decorations.
d) help the students completing Sagak Dagwabo.
Saturday 26 August- Yeonipdapo (연잎다포) Lotus leaf-shaped cover bojagi
Yeonipdapo is a lotus leaf-shaped cover. It often goes well with a tea set. During this session I will
a) introduce Korean sheer silk and help the students to handle it. The students will also learn handling the round and curvey lines.
b) cover 'pinched seam' technique.
c) introduce and teach making and attaching basic decorations.
d) help the students completing the round hem.
Needs list:
1) a magnifying glass if helpful 2) a couple of very thin needles and some very fine pins ( If you don't have them, I will provide them) 3) a clear acrylic ruler with a grid (It is helpful to mark seam lines.) 4) fabric scissors (It deosn't need to be a proper large ones, anything you find it easy and handy to use to cut small pieces of fabric would be good enough.) 5) felt sheet (a firm, A4-size felt sheet is handy. You can find them in 2 dollar shops or in any craft sections but if you already have something to place underneath your fabric that makes it easier to create creases for seam lines just bring it.) 6) a hera marker or a thick needle for marking seam lines |
About Moonhee Han:
I always liked the look of bojagi, but it was not until 2002 while in Korea that I enrolled in a two-year course as an adult and started to learn a lot more about bojagi. My new journey with bojagi started again in Wellington, New Zealand in 2018. In that year, I curated and contributed to a bojagi exhibition. The exhibition was a huge success and interest from the local community led me to set up a bojagi studio. People from a variety of backgrounds attended the classes. I was also invited to provide lectures to quilters, embroiderers, school children and individuals who wanted to learn about it. It was a wonderful experience to share bojagi with a wider audience. And helped me to appreciate more about the beauty of taking the time to create the pieces and appreciate the legacy our mothers had left us. I am enthusiastic about sharing this beautiful traditional work with others. I hope I can meet people who are interested in learning about bojagi and these workshops would be a good start for them. |
