My work Sancuary is inspired by Jogak-bo (also called Bojagi)—a traditional Korean textile art form where pieces of fabric are hand-stitched into beautiful, functional wrapping cloths. Traditionally used to wrap or gift items with heartfelt wishes for the recipient’s happiness and well-being, Bojagi carries deep meaning.
But it’s more than just sewing—Bojagi is a sustainable, meditative practice that values slowness, care, and the beauty of reuse. In our fast-paced and overstimulated world, I believe keeping such traditions alive is more important than ever.
That’s why I’m offering workshops not only in patchworking and Jogakbo-making, but also in exploring how these hand-sewing techniques can be a foundation for creating both traditional Gyubangcrafts and contemporary textile work. These classes start with simple patchwork, but from there, participants can apply what they learn to make bags, wall pieces, accessories, and more—bridging the past and present through thread and fabric.
What’s provided:
Korean silk organza (Oksa, Nobang, Gapsa etc)
Silk Thread
Sewing materials (Needle, seam ruller, hera- seam marking tool, etc)
You’ll Leave With:
A small Jogakbo piece (bookmark, cocktail napkin, or small wall hanging)
An introduction to the sustainable spirit of Jogakbo and Gyubang textile traditions.
Gyubang hand-sewing techniques for future projects & creative inspiration
What to Expect
These small, hands-on workshops are designed to introduce the foundations of traditional Korean Jogakbo and Gyubang textile arts. The techniques you’ll learn are rooted in a craft that traditionally takes years of dedicated practice to master.
This is a skill-focused workshop with live demonstrations, step-by-step guidance, and individual instruction throughout the class. Because Jogakbo is a slow and mindful hand-sewing practice, you may not complete your project during the workshop. However, you will leave with the knowledge, techniques, and confidence to continue and finish your piece at home, and to begin creating your own future projects.
