Join us for an exciting and creative workshop that delves into the world of Joomchi, a traditional Korean art form that involves making textured paper using various materials. In this workshop, we will reimagine Joomchi by incorporating elements of memory and exploring how texture can evoke emotions and trigger personal recollections. We will delve into the concept of texture as a language that speaks to us, connecting with our senses and preserving memories. We will experiment with different materials, techniques, and textures to create unique textured papers that hold personal meaning and stories. Once you have your unique memory joomchi sheets, hand-crafted with patience and love, ready and waiting you can use them for so many creative products and projects. Such as: To make a textured memory book To make a journal cover As a mount board/ matboard for photos or photo collages Special book marks, Gift tags Envelopes / Gift bags Designer Paper to draw on
I’m a multi-disciplinary artist, and love to engage with folk/tribal art from across the world – wiPth a special focus on India. I design and conduct experiential workshops, giving a contemporary bent to heritage Art n Craft. I have thoroughly enjoyed conducting in-person and online workshops for audiences in India, USA, UK, Australia, Dubai. My workshop at Amazon HQ in Seattle demonstrated the ease with which art communicates with people from different countries and ethnicities. The learning and sharing process has been unique in each workshop and the participants’ ages have varied from age 8 to 80!
