September Class: Hanging Hanji Plaque


Join us on Sunday, September 18 at 1:00 for a super fun, super easy new project. You'll make a customized hanji wall plaque. You pick the paper, you pick the design, and you'll go home with a beautiful piece of Korean artwork.















You'll start with a wood plaque -- large ($10) or small ($7). Pick a front and back mulberry paper and the design you'd like on the plaque.











Measure the paper and cut it to size for both the front and back.












Using traditional flour-water paste, attach the paper to the wood surface.











Once the front and back papers are in place, cover the front with hanji paste and add your design.



Once it's dry, add a ribbon and hang it up.





Send an email to thehanjicrew@yahoo.com to register for the class on September 18.

Next up: Six-sided hanji boxes made from Korean forms. These awesome boxes take a little extra time, so we'll meet from 10:00 - 4:00 on Sunday, October 16. More about that project soon!
