Date: Mon 31 August | 10am–12pm
Joomchi is a remarkable traditional Korean paper craft with a history stretching back over 500 years. Using only water and gentle hand manipulation, layers of Hanji paper are fused together to create richly textured, fabric-like sheets full of colour and character.
In this hands-on family workshop, you'll begin by arranging colourful layers of Hanji paper before wetting, kneading and rolling them together until they become a single, durable artwork. It's a wonderfully tactile, playful and surprisingly relaxing process and completely glue-free.
You will learn:
The traditional techniques behind Joomchi.
How to layer and fuse Hanji paper using water alone.
Ways to create richly textured collage compositions.
No previous experience is needed, and all materials are provided. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or carer. As the process involves quite a lot of kneading and hand work, we recommend this workshop for children aged 12 and over.
