Pojagi - From Ancient Korea to Modern Canada

with

 Elizabeth DeCroos

Part lecture and part trunk show, Elizabeth is will be entertaining us with a fun talk about her journey from Canada to Korea and back again.   In 2009 Elizabeth took her young family to South Korea where she had the opportunity to learn pojagi - a traditional Korean art form that goes back thousands of years.  Pojagi is characterized by translucent fabrics and reversible patchwork that glows in the sun like stained glass.  

Upon her return to Canada, Elizabeth developed techniques for similar patchwork using a sewing machine and materials more readily available in the West.

Larger Than Life 

                                                   Ilene Atkins
“Everything about this cat was larger than life! Huge purr. Gigantic heart. Jumbo girth. He certainly made a name for himself, not only because of his size, but also because he loved everyone. P.S. The whiskers are whipper-snipper string.”
Ilene was inspired by the works of Danny Amazonas and Susan Carlson.

Elizabeth will be teaching a workshop on March 4th at Mannheim - "Modern Pojagi Improv".  Sign up started at the January meetings and will continue at our February meetings.   

Our vendor for the February meetings is Dancing Stitches from Cambridge
