Korean Maedup

Korean Maedup Workshop

There is something deeply satisfying about watching a simple cord slowly turn into an intricate knot. Korean Maedup is a traditional form of decorative knotting where each loop, twist and crossing comes together to create beautiful patterns with meaning and character.

In this hands-on workshop, you will learn the basics of Maedup and discover how traditional Korean knots are created. You will be guided through the movements step by step, learning how to handle the cord, form the knots and bring the strands together neatly.

The process takes patience and attention, but that is also what makes it so calming. As the knot begins to take shape, what first looks like a few loose strands becomes an intricate handmade design.
