Korean Traditional Nubi Workshop with Artist Kim Haeja | Gallery Talks

Details: Category: Gallery Talks

Learn traditional nubi line-stitching from award-winning artist Haeja Kim. A designated holder of an Important Intangible Cultural Property award by the Korean government for her efforts at preserving Korea’s artistic heritage, Kim meticulously line-stitches layers of batting and fabric into fine garments and coverings. Stitches are employed over each article in a deceptively simple pattern, with smaller stitching highly valued and the mark of a true expert. Participants in the workshop will learn to make a traditional scarf with naturally dyed fabrics brought from her studio in Korea. All levels welcome.
