About
Rooted in centuries of cultural practice, bojagi was historically used to wrap and protect objects, symbolising care and good fortune. Today, it offers a reusable and environmentally conscious alternative to disposable packaging. This hands-on workshop introduces both the cultural heritage and contemporary applications of bojagi, guiding participants through a series of practical wrapping techniques using a variety of textiles. You will learn how to adapt these methods for everyday use—from gift presentation to functional carrying.
