Mosi Jogakbo Patchwork with Youngmin Lee

Bojagi (Korean Wrapping Cloths) are pieced together from small scraps of cloth. It is the most unique form of Korean textile art. Bojagi occupied a prominent place in the daily lives of Koreans of all classes. They were used to wrap or carry everything from precious ritual objects to everyday clothes and common household goods and also to cover food. It is also strikingly contemporary: the designs and colors of bojagi remind one of the works of modern abstract artists. Bojagi can be described as a true form of abstract expressionism.

Jogakbo, patchwork bojagi, was made with remnants of fabrics from leftover cloths in the past. Youngmin will teach basic mosi (ramie) jogakbo construction in this workshop. Ssamsol is a special seam technique that makes the front and back of this jogakbo identical. Students will use many small pieces of ramie fabrics to make a geometric patterned bojagi. The finished project will have unique compositions of shapes, lines and texture.
