Activity

Join artist Arounna Khounnoraj of Bookhou for an introduction to hand-sewn flat-felled seamwork inspired by Korean bojagi traditions. You’ll learn how to patch and piece fabrics together using this contemplative technique, historically used for wrapping cloths and now adapted for scarves, wall hangings, and other textiles.

Over the course of the workshop, you’ll create a small panel that can later be transformed into a pillow cover, scarf, or displayed as wall art. No prior experience is necessary, but comfort with hand sewing is recommended.

Whether you’re new to textile arts or a seasoned maker, this workshop offers a welcoming environment to explore sustainable craft, learn versatile techniques, and experience the joy of creating something truly handmade for the home.

This project has been inspired by Arounna's most recent book, The Handmade Home, filled with 21 beautiful and practical projects that transform everyday materials into modern homewares. Books are available for purchase here.
