10:30am-11:30 am Lecture: Bojagi (Korean Wrapping)
Workshop: Bojagi, Mosi Jogakbo
12:30pm - 3:30pm $45 + $30 kit fee to be paid to instructor
Saturday only
Lecture description:
Bojagi, The Art of Wrapping Cloths
Power Point Presentation followed by Q&A and show Youngmin’s work-1 hour
Bojagi (Korean Wrapping Cloths) are pieced together from small scraps of cloth. It is the most unique form of Korean textile art. Bojagi occupied a prominent place in the daily lives of Koreans of all classes. They were used to wrap or carry everything from precious ritual objects to everyday clothes and common household goods also to cover food. It is strikingly contemporary: the designs and colors of bojagi remind one of the works of modern abstract artists. Bojagi can be described as a true form of abstract expressionism.
Youngmin Lee will talk about bojagi during this lecture and show her bojagi works after the lecture.
Workshop - Ssamsol Jogakbo
Ssamsol is a durable and decorative seam technique where you use two different seam allowances. One seam allowance is twice the width of the other one, so it can cover the smaller seam allowance.
Jogakbo, or patchwork bojagi, embodies the philosophy of recycling, as they are made from remnants of leftover fabric. Thoughtfully arranged shapes and colors in bojagi often show very modern and abstract compositions.
Using this Ssamsol technique, Youngmin will teach ‘Ssamsol Jogakbo’ construction.
Supply List:
Fabric- silk organza or oksa or ramie or cotton voile (light weight and plain-woven fabric will work)
Needle-sharp needle of your choice
Thread- cellulose fibers (Ramie, hemp, cotton, linen)- cotton thread #40, #50
protein fibers (silk, wool)- silk thread #50
Pins- Extra sharp pins work better for small pieces and fine fabrics
Rotary cutter and cutting mat or fabric scissors
Ruler
Fabric marking pen or pencil
Hera Marker or craft awl
Iron and ironing board
Threader (optional)
Kit is available and includes assorted fabric pieces, thread, needle and PDF instruction that will be sent via email.

Lecture Description:
My Quit Journey
In 1989 my quilting journey started when I was invited to attend the Esprit Amish Quilt Show at the DeYoung Museum. I could not believe the workmanship and how beautiful the quilts were at the exhibit. Of course, my first few quilts were based on the Amish style. My lecture will be about the quilt journey I have been on. I will share where I started, what I am doing today and what I hope to accomplish in the future. I will tell this story by showing the quilts, bags and wall-hangings that I have created over the last 34 years.

Biography:
Susan was a classroom and library media teacher in Merced, California. She has been retired since 2001.
Her journey actually begins way before this when she began sewing in fourth grade in a Livingston 4-H group. She made all of her clothes in high school and in college. When Susan got married, she didn’t have much time to sew with working full-time and 3 little girls. When the girls reached high school age, it was time to bring out the sewing machine to make beautiful formals and gowns for proms. Now she is recreating that memory for her granddaughters. during these years she tried many other needlecrafts such as, knitting, crocheting, needlepoint, stitchery, hardanger and anything else to use her talents.

Sew Tina Givens: Bloom and Make it Your Own—Lecture Description
The term “Lagenlook” means “layered look” in German. The lecture will take a look at Lagenlook style garments and explore how the concept of layering loose garments made from natural fabrics has infused American and Japanese independent pattern design. Next, we will look at how one simple pattern can be modified in multiple ways to create uniquely different garments, which may be layered to create your own Lagenlook ensemble.
Workshop:
Sew Tina Givens: Bloom and Make it Your Own—Workshop Description, Day One
Using the free pattern “Bloom,” Pam will demonstrate how to cut your patterns and necessary additional pieces to modify the original Bloom pattern. Included will be demos on how to add optional sleeves, a collar, button plackets, hem tucks, and a back drawstring to your Bloom pattern. On the first day you can expect to cut out your garment and add your button plackets.
Sew Tina Givens: Bloom and Make it Your Own—Workshop Description, Day Two
On day 2, we will continue our garment construction by adding optional details such as a collar, back drawstring, and hem tucks and bindings. Depending on how many details you incorporate, you should be able to complete all or most of your garment by the end of Day 2.

She enjoys combining her love of drawing and painting with non-conventional mediums, and often times incorporates upcycled, repurposed items into her art. When teaching, she enjoys helping students explore their artistic style, to be authentic in a world of cookie-cutter “art projects”, and to discover and develop their personal “art voice”. She currently shows her work at the River Park Art Groove Gallery, where she teaches a monthly Senior Paint Party event. Her studio is located at Sorensen’s Studio & Galleries, where she also shows her work. Additionally, you can find Kat at numerous Art Hop venues and other local events.

Biography:
Mel Beach is a San Jose, CA based quilt artist, teacher and lecturer, who breaks away from tradition by adding her own modern, beautifully textured, and colorful twists. She loves stretching her creativity through her completion of 100+ quilt challenges at the local and international level in addition to several 100-Day Projects involving a roll of dice. Her quilts draw upon her inquisitive nature of asking "What If?", “Why Not?”, working in a series, comedy improv studies, along with her love of nature, photography, and sketching.
Mel is passionate about teaching/lecturing, with a focus on quilting on a domestic machine and modern quilting techniques. Starting in 2016, Mel has taught for quilt shops, guilds and quilt shows all across the United States including several large venues: Road to California, Pacific International Quilt Festival, Virtual Quilt Show, Online Quilt Festivals, Virtual Quilt Festival, and Craft Napa.
