Pojagi Workshop

Workshop Details

Pojagi ("poe-jah-gee") is a cloth patchwork panel made using a Korean seam stitch technique, dating as early back as 42AD. The process is a type of quilting, utilizing small pieces of cloth and reversible seams to create improvisational patchwork. Pojagi have many uses, including as gift wrapping, in weddings, and in Buddhist rites. More recently, they have been recognized as a traditional art form, often featured in museums and inspiring modern reinterpretations. In this one-day workshop, we will practice this patchwork technique to create a patchwork of your choosing. This is a great opportunity to utilize scrap fabric. Any size panel is fine, you may have to work outside of workshop time. SKILL LEVEL : BEGINNER Previous experience with a sewing machine is recommended but not required. Materials not included. We do offer fabric kits for this workshop - please request at checkout and we will follow up with option and prices. Non-stretch fabric only. Light to medium-weigh linen and cotton is best. The easier it is to fold the easier it will be to work with. If you are buying yardage, 1/4-1/2 yard of 2-3 fabrics is plenty.
