Bojagi (wrapping cloths) are Korean textiles which are pieced together from small scraps of cloth and are perhaps the most unique form of Korean textile art. The designs and colours are strikingly contemporary and call to mind the works of modern abstract artists such as Paul Klee and Piet Mondrian. The tradition is increasingly popular with today’s textiles artists and quilters and bojagi designs can be seen in the work of many contemporary makers. In this book, experienced artist and educator Youngmin Lee provides comprehensive instruction on traditional bojagi techniques and materials, all against a background of the history of bojagi in Korean culture where it occupied a prominent place in the daily lives of Koreans of all classes. Learn hand stitch techniques, seam finishes and decorative motifs on a range of materials from ramie, hemp and cotton to silk organza and naturally dyed eco-printed materials. Beautifully illustrated with a touch of modern aesthetics, Youngmin will introduce a variety of projects to inspire today’s makers from gift wrap to wall hangings, cushions and clothing all whilst using ancient Korean textile traditions.
