The Art of Maedeup, Korean Traditional Knotting

2014 05 21  maedeup icon

In this knotting workshop, artist Karen Ahn teaches the Garakji (ring) knot, a versatile knot frequently used to make jewelry—including necklaces, earrings, and cufflinks. Maedeup, the traditional Korean art form of knotting silken cords, consists of over 35 intricate knots—with colorful names such as “dragonfly” and “plum blossom”—skillfully made into beautiful ornaments and accessories.
