Creative Sewing Techniques: Introduction to Bojagi
A course by Desedamas , Textile Artists and Artisans
Learn the basics of Bojagi, or Korean patchwork, to craft stunning textile compositions made by hand or with a sewing machine
Bojagi is a sewing technique with its roots in traditional Korean folk religions in which it was believed that wrapping something in these pieces assured good luck. In this online course, sisters Cecilia and Mercè González show you how this method has evolved and why it is so versatile.
After having brought you Silk Painting Techniques, the creators of the craft and textile art workshop Desedamas take you through the exciting process of applying Bojagi to your textile pieces, both by hand and with a sewing machine. Throughout the course, learn to create pieces to your liking by playing around with different shapes and sizes.

Desedamas
A course by Desedamas
Sisters Cecilia and Mercè González, founders of craft and textile art workshop Desedamas, started their silk painting journey by teaching themselves the technique as a hobby and also because of its therapeutic qualities. The two come from vastly different professional backgrounds: Cecilia is a trained technical draftsperson, and Mercè, a chemical engineer.
In the year 2000 they decided to turn their passion into a way of life and began to sell their work at craft fairs throughout Spain. In 2006, they began to combine silk with textile art, painting silk for patchwork pieces and working with specific techniques. They currently work in equal measure between craft and textile art, and also share their knowledge with others through different forms of training. In 2013, they both earned the Maestras Artesanas (Master Craftsperson) diploma.

Still going through the lessons, but looks very interesting class to try out.
Muito bom! Curso bem detalhado, linguagem clara e tópicos úteis.
Absolutamente perfecto!! Podria decir que es el curso mejor explicado y detallado que he hecho. Ambas te hacen amar esta tecnica y me han hecho empezar a investigar sobre el bojagi. Completamente enamorada, no tengo palabras para describir lo mucho que me ha gustado y enganchado este curso (de hecho lo segui por cursos gratis de domestika plus y he terminado comprandolo por que quiero conservarlo y hacerlo varias veces, repasar y aprender)
I enjoyed the course very much. It gives me confidence to be able to create beautiful Bojagi pieces.
You have inspired me to create!
Gracias Señoras Cecilia y Mercè
