Why Not Joomchi?  with Jiyoung Chung

Joomchi is a unique Korean traditional way of making textured handmade paper by using water, and eager hands. The terminology originated from the meaning, “making a Joomoney (Pouch)”. The record says that the Koreans started making Joomchi in the Goryeo Dynasty, A.D.918 – 1392. A few remaining Korean treasures are made with this technique: purses, folding pouches, outfits for rain, etc. Joomchi creates strong, textural, and painterly surfaces by layering and agitating Hanji (Korean mulberry papers), which are not easy to rip/tear and create a locking surface: As time goes on, the surface becomes more and more elegant and aged-looking, surfaces sometimes look like leather.

This class offers students the opportunity to become acquainted with its history, usage, and role in Korean society, as well as the hands-on techniques and reinterpreted adaptations into contemporary art form.

Joomchi’s usages are diverse and they can be incorporated into surface design, collage, new ways of drawing, one-of-a-kind book art, wearable, unconventional body ornament, or sculptural object: 2-D & 3D either functional or fine art-oriented works. The possibilities are endless!
