At A Verb for Keeping Warm we
work with many textile makers, teachers and artists. We hope to
share with you some of those people and their work to inspire your
own work.
Youngmin Lee is a Korean born
textile artist living in the SF Bay Area who teaches at A Verb for
Keeping Warm. Her work features the beautiful and intricate Korean
textile art of patchwork known as jogakbo. This patchwork is mostly
seen on traditional wrapping cloths called bojagi. These wrapping
cloths impart the maker’s wish for happiness among other good
fortune for the receiver of the gift. Each piece Youngmin makes is
hand stitched with intention and delicate skill. She teaches these
techniques and Korean culture around the world to share this
eloquent textile heritage. Kristine and Adrienne interviewed
Youngmin Lee in person about her work, how she got started making,
and the history and cultural significance of these textiles in
Korea. This interview was recorded in person at A Verb for Keeping
Warm in Oakland, California.
