Saeksilnubi 색실누비
Instructor: Youngmin Lee
June 1 & 2, 2022 10AM-1PM Pacific Daylight Time Via Zoom In this workshop you will learn Saeksilnubi, a Korean quilting technique that uses mulberry paper twine as a batting and colorful threads to make quilted texture.
Hanji cord or cotton cord were used as a batting or stuffing. Repetition of lines created with Bageumjil (back stitch) and Hanji cord make geometrical pattern and raised texture. This technique strengthened the fabric and protected from humidity. Once the fabric has been created, Saeksilnibi was used to make practical objects such as small pouches to store and carry tobacco, flint stone and metal, pin cushion, glasses case, and paper sock patterns. Youngmin Lee is a textile artist living in the San Francisco Bay Area. She studied Clothing and Textile in college and continued her studies and received an MFA in Fashion Design. She worked as a fashion designer in Seoul, South Korea. She chose Bojagi (Korean wrapping cloths) as her creative medium and presented workshops on Korean Textile Arts including Bojagi workshops. In addition to teaching in person, Youngmin created the DVD Bojagi: The Art of Wrapping Cloths in 2013 to reach people from afar. She teaches numerous workshops about Bojagi and Korean traditional textile art from. She founded the Korean Textile Tour in 2017 to introduce Korean traditional textile art and culture. Youngmin’s bojagi works have been exhibited and collected throughout the United States and abroad. The Asian Art Museum of San Francisco has her works in the museum collection.
