Learn traditional Korean quilting with its unique nubi line-stitching from award-winning artisan Haeja Kim. Participants in the workshop will learn to make a traditional scarf with naturally dyed fabrics brought from Kim’s studio in Korea. Kim line-stitches layers of batting and fabric into fine garments and coverings. Tiny stitches are employed over each article in a deceptively simple pattern. Haeja Kim is Korea’s foremost authority on the art of nubi, a technique employed in traditional costume quilting. Ms.Kim is an “Intangible Cultural Property,” designated by the Korean government in 1996.
