Intro to Joomchi

When: Sat, January 9 from 3PM - 5PM

Where: Artlink, 300 E. Main Street, Fort Wayne, IN 46802.

Tickets: $40 ($30 for Artlink Members)

In this workshop we will learn the basics of joomchi and use mulberry paper (hanji) to create beautiful, colorful felted paper art pieces. No experience necessary—all skill levels are welcome! You’ll create two complete joomchi paper art pieces: one paper weaving and one choice design. They may still be drying at the end of class, so you can arrange to pick them up from Artlink after they dry or take them home to finish drying. 

Joomchi is a Korean paper technique where sheets of handmade mulberry paper are layered, wet with water, and repeatedly worked to break down the paper fibers. The paper layers eventually fuse together to create a fabric-like material. The result is a delicate paper artwork with multiple colorful layers, all without using glue.

Create colorful, layered paper artwork! No experience necessary, all supplies included.
