Jogakbo Patchwork Techniques With Taerim Claire Jeon

Jogakbo retains the essence of traditional Korean textile art and refers to a handsewn patchwork technique. You will learn useful techniques and gain a cultural understanding of the history and aesthetic in this delightful workshop for all ages and levels.

Taerim Claire Jeon is a Sydney based Jogakbo artist who strongly identifies with her Korean heritage. She re-interprets traditional methods and explores new forms of Jogakbo with her dyed and handsewn works. A former children’s book and magazine illustrator, Claire discovered a passion for Jogakbo making over fifteen years ago and now enjoys teaching classes with the Korean Cultural Centre and from her own studio. Her works are an excellent example of traditional Korean Jogbakbo combining a refined aesthetic, skill and use of the various techniques with a contemporary flair.
