BOJAGI Korean Gift Wrapping Workshop
BOJAGI is San Francisco’s sustainable gifting revolution, inspired by the rich tradition of Korean wrapping cloths.
Rooted in the rich Korean tradition of wrapping and decorating with fabric, this ancient art form is still practiced today and recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Korea. We’re reimagining sustainable gifting in San Francisco and beyond.
This workshop offers a chance to immerse yourself in Korean culture and discover the fascinating history and significance of bojagi wrapping cloths. You’ll study the ancient art of beautiful bojagi wrapping techniques for gifts of all shapes and sizes, and learn to wrap books, boxes, wine bottles, candles, and more! Each participant will take home a BOJAGI wrap valued at $26 retail.
Share laughter and build lasting memories while learning together and exploring the endless possibilities of using BOJAGI for mindful gifting and eco-conscious living.
