Fibre, Naturally - Paper Like You've Never Seen it Before

As a member of the Vancouver Weavers and Spinner's Guild, I had the pleasure of a volunteer shift keeping watch over the most wonderful collection of Hanji in a cooperative exhibition between our Guild and the Jeonju Hanji Artists Association of Korea.

The Colour of Mine

Emily Carr was a perfect backdrop for this impressive exhibit.

This will be a photo heavy post, my apologies, but I wanted to capture as many different translations of the fibre as I could.

Hand knit and Dyed Hanji Paper by Louisa Chadwick

Neither myself or Pearl had tickets to the fashion show and settled for a nice sushi dinner instead. This transformative mulberry tree has been used for centuries in Korean clothing, making an incredibly durable and luminous fibre. And in printing has been maintained in books more than 1,000 years old. Sigh.

My bag of knitting seemed very uninspiring tonight.
