OFF COURSE WORKSHOP
<Hanji Tea Mat Making Workshop>
Make your own sustainable, durable tea mat using hanji — traditional Korean mulberry paper. Over two hours, we'll use the joomchi technique together to complete two tea coasters and one tea mat. To finish, each piece is coated with beeswax for everyday water resistance and protection. Add your own small, personal stitching for a finishing touch, and explore creative hanji work with us.
What is Hanji?
Hanji is traditional Korean paper made from the inner bark of the mulberry tree. Its long fibers make it stronger and more flexible than standard paper.
What is Joomchi?
Joomchi is a hand technique for working hanji — layering and felting the paper with water until it becomes one durable sheet. It was historically used to make jewelry, everyday objects, and even armor.
