Jogakbo is a style of bojagi made from leftover fabrics. Bojagi, also known as Korean Wrapping Cloths, are pieced together from small scraps of cloth. It is the most unique form of Korean textile art. They were used to wrap or carry everything from precious ritual objects to everyday clothes and common household goods and to cover food. It is also strikingly contemporary: the designs and colors of bojagi remind one of the works of modern abstract artists. Bojagi can be described as a true form of abstract expressionism. Using basic bojagi techniques, students will learn how to construct this colorful freestyle bojagi. Youngmin will demonstrate how to use many small pieces of fabrics to create a geometric patterned bojagi and discuss various designs and colors of bojagi for free-form design. The finished project will have a unique composition of different shapes, lines, and textures.
