In this workshop taught by Najla Bulous, students will learn about joomchi, a traditional Korean craft that uses paper to create a fabric-like material. Two or more layers of hanji, Korean paper made from the inner bark of paper mulberry, are felted together using water and physical manipulation. No adhesive! The result has a unique character and can be used to make clothing, pouches, collages, quilts, tapestries, and more. Joomchi is a beautiful example of how handmade paper is alive by transforming and acquiring new characteristics with treatments over time. Participants will learn the history and basic techniques, experiment with the process, and leave with resources for continued learning at home. All materials will be provided, and beginners are welcome.

Light snacks and tea will be served.
