Trip to Korea

I just came back from my trip to Japan and Korea. The weather was perfect for travelers and everywhere was covered with rich green leaves and trees. In Kyoto, I visited Gallery Kei and had a chance to see their annual special exhibition. It was an Exhibition of Asa (Mosi and Sambe) and I felt so lucky to get to see these old fabrics and clothes from the Edo period (1603-1867)!

In Korea, I went to Andong and visited the Andongpo center. Aodongpo is a type of fine hemp fabric that is only produced in the Andong region. I also was able to visit a store that carries naturally dyed fabrics. In Seoul, I saw indigo dye work by the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Dying and a hanbok exhibition by the Master Artisan of Needlework. 

The 'Korean Voices of Fiber' exhibition, showing 25 fiber artists' works, is opening on Saturday, June 10th 4-6:30 pm at the Sacramento Fine Art Center. Please come and celebrate with me!

A week at Asilomar

I spent a wonderful time in Asilomar (Pacific Grove, California) last week. My second time to attend Empty Spools Seminars had lead me to meet this wonderful teacher, Rosalie Dace and many creative artists. During my stay in Asilomar, I was constantly trying to find shapes, lines and colors from my surroundings. Exploring exercises about design elements gave me inspiration and I am ready to create new works!

Despite the geopolitical tensions in Korean peninsula, our Korea Textile Tour prep is in full swing and the three of us are busy finalizing itinerary details. If you are interested in participating in 2018, send me an email!
