The Art of Bojagi: Korean Patchwork

Join us for a 3-hour exploration into Bojagi (보자기), the traditional Korean patchwork technique that turns small fabric scraps into stunning, zero-waste textiles. Grounded in resourcefulness and intuitive composition, Bojagi is an improvisational craft where every remnant finds a purpose. In this hands-on session, you will learn the fundamental techniques used to join workroom offcuts into unique geometric designs. By the end of the workshop, you will have created your own small wall hanging or decorative wrapping cloth to keep or gift.
