Make a Daeng-gi Keychain with Artist Miryeong Hong
Advertisement
A daeng-gi is a traditional Korean hair ornament worn at the end of braided hair. Traditionally used by children, both boys and girls, as well as unmarried women, the daeng-gi has been used in Korea for more than 2,000 years.
Inspired by the traditional daeng-gi, participants will create their own unique keyring using traditional Korean fabrics. You’ll decorate your daeng-gi with traditional Korean patterns and learn simple hand-sewing techniques while experiencing the beauty of Korean traditional craft.
Limited space; registration is required. To register, use the link on this page or contact Lakeview Library at 608-246-4547 or [email protected]. Registration opens two weeks prior to program date, on November 23.
These presentations are made possible thanks to generous support from Beyond the Page, National Endowment for the Humanities, and Madison Community Foundation
About the artist
Miryeong Hong is a Madison-based artist with over 20 years of experience in traditional Korean fabric craft, jogakbo. Jogakbo is a traditional Korean patchwork embedded with history. "Jogak" means "pieces," and "Bo" means a wrapping bag. Jogakbo's main use is as Bojagi, a traditional Korean wrapping cloth.
Nowadays, Jogakbo can be found as art, lighting, handbags, table linens, and more. Jogakbo allows for a wide range of styles, from traditional to contemporary, and a variety of color palettes and patterns. Miryeong wants to show diversity within this art form and the versatility of Jogakbo.
