Poster Bengkel Bojagi


This is my assignment for Cultural Centre, University of Malaya. The Centre assigned me to produce a publicity for their upcoming workshop called Bengkel Bojagi (Bojagi Workshop). Bojagi, refer to Wikipedia is a - traditional Korean wrapping cloth. Bojagi are square and can be made from a variety of materials, though silk is common. Embroidered bojagi are known as subo. Bojagi have many uses, including as gift wrapping, in weddings, and in Buddhist rites.

The design above is based from Bojagi art which use a combination of variety pastel colors and repetition (pengulangan) of Geometric form. The 'BOJAGI' logo represents a Korean flag's color which is Red, Blue and Black.

Prof. Mijai Lee sedang menunjukkan salah satu hasil kerja beliau iaitu cenderahati berupa bantal kecil, menurut beliau semakin kecil kraf yang dibuat menggunakan teknik Bojagi ini, semakin rumitlah proses pembuatannya dan kerana itulah nilainya lebih tinggi. Teknik jahitan tangannya untuk cenderahati ini sememangnya halus (fine) dan sempurna.


Prof. Mijai Lee sedang menunjukkan buku-buku terbitan beliau mengenai seni kraf Bojagi serta beberapa pameran beliau antaranya di Germany turut dilampirkan. Pheww..beliau antara rakyat Korea yang masih memperjuangkan seni kraf yang semakin dilupakan di sana.
