This two day workshop will bring a fresh new and fun technique for creating with paper, stitching, book arts and more. There are so many possibilities for stand alone or incorporation of Joomchi to your art and crafting pieces.
Joomchi is a traditional Korean paper craft working to create textured handmade paper using your hands and water. Joomchi paper art dates back to the Korean Goryeo Dynasty A.D. 918-1392.
Explore ways to manipulate strong Korean mulberry Hanji papers where the strength of the paper enables one to create felted and leather like looks strong enough to support stitches, inclusions and applique.
View examples, learn history and have your questions answered along with guidance to adapt Joomchi to your art making projects. Consider the possibilities as you view ways that the instructor has incorporated Joomchi into book arts, wearable art, surface design layering, framed art and functional works.

Day One: View examples, listen and look at the historic contributions of Joomchi. Learn how to layer, agitate and manipulate your Hanji and allow it to set up and dry. Consider how your work will be used once dry and prepare for working with your finished Hanji to create your works of art.
Day Two: Come together with classmates and take a look at the previous days creations. Watch your instructor share new work and the techniques that were used to complete the pieces as you work on your own Joomchi during class time.
