About this event

Discover bojagi, a traditional Korean wrapping cloth reimagined for modern, sustainable living as part of the Dublin by Dusk initiative. Please bring a wine bottle or similar bottle to wrap during the workshop.

Rooted in centuries of cultural practice, bojagi was historically used to wrap and protect objects, symbolising care and good fortune. Today, it offers a reusable and environmentally conscious alternative to disposable packaging.

This hands-on workshop introduces both the cultural heritage and contemporary applications of bojagi, guiding participants through a series of practical wrapping techniques using a variety of textiles. You will learn how to adapt these methods for everyday use—from gift presentation to functional carrying.

Each participant will take home only the Bojagi cloth used to wrap their wine bottle.

Readers are advised to check with the venue before relying on the details published here.
