BOJAGI: KOREAN TEXTILE ART (HB)

Bojagi, sometimes called Pojagi, is a traditional Korean textile art. Centuries old, it was originally textiles made for everyday living with scraps of left-over fabrics artfully put together. They often resemble works of modern artists such as Mondrian and Klee. This book covers a brief history and understanding of Bojagi in Korean culture, then covers, fabrics and sewing equipment (incl. silk, hemp and ramie), Obanseak, (technique and designs of bojagi colours and symbolism, colour seams and embellishments) and Jagokbo – textiles pieced from tiny scraps.
