Sara invites you to be part of her Cherry Blossom installation by joining her at a drop in workshop at Colonnade House Gallery on Monday 6th January 14.00 – 17.00. The workshop is free, but it would be great if you could support Colonnade House by giving a donation to the Adur & Worthing Trust.
You will have the chance to learn how to make a Mandu, Korean Dumpling using simple hand stitches. These will be strung together to create strings of blossom that will fill the gallery. Sara will provide all the materials and there will be cake!
You can book onto the workshop here.
About Sara Cook
Sara’s practice is influenced by the textile traditions of Bojagi, Korean wrapping cloths. The translucent qualities of Bojagi, seem to her a perfect medium to express these fleeting moments. Being able to reduce the environmental impact of her work, she feels will only add to its integrity. The word Bo means wrapping happiness or fortune and was expressed using colour and symbolism. In her works she tries to achieve, Cheon-ji-in, which translates into sky, earth and the harmony of co-existence. A traditional Korean value that chimes with the pressing need to find a way to live sustainably.
Sara is author of Bojagi: Design and techniques in Korean Textile Art. She has exhibited work in the UK, South Korea, Australia and America. She lectures on the history of bojagi and teaches workshops in both traditional and contemporary interpretations of Bojagi.
