Students will add water to hanji to learn a felting and collage technique called joomchi, which results in textured paper that is ideal for textile work, light and durable book covers, and sculpture. Joomchi can also be modified to create varying thicknesses of hanji yarn. Using mulberry bark, students will also learn to make thread for decorative bindings, weaving or installation. As time allows, students will learn how to cord and weave hanji (called jiseng in Korean) to create woven pieces. Be prepared to work hard and walk away with a wide array of samples and new techniques!
