Book

Bojagi : the art of Korean textiles / Youngmin Lee.

Summary:

Bojagi are textiles that wrap, cover, carry, or store objects. Some are made from whole pieces of fabric and some are patched together from small scraps of cloth--they are a unique form of Korean textile art. In this book, experienced artist and educator Youngmin Lee gives you comprehensive step-by-step instructions on traditional bojagi techniques and materials, and provides a history of the art form in Korean culture--which dates back to the Joseon dynasty--where it continues to occupy a prominent place in the daily lives of Koreans. Learn hand stitch techniques, seam finishes and decorative motifs on a range of materials from ramie, hemp and cotton to silk and naturally dyed, eco-printed materials. Youngmin introduces a variety of beautifully illustrated projects, with a modern twist--from gift wrap to wall hangings to cushions and clothing--whilst always being true to ancient Korean textile traditions.
