Lucky Pouches

2015 04 06  art-workshop-pouches iconCreate a lucky pouch (bok jumeoni), during this 4 week, 8 hour workshop with artists Wonju Seo and Karen Ahn. Using two traditional art forms, bojagi (patchwork) and maedeup (knotting), participants will make their own unique and lucky silk pouch. These bags were originally made as a substitute for pockets, since hanbok, Korean traditional clothes, have no pockets.
