How cool is this? Sisters Kwon Young-eun and Young-hyun founded Hanjiroum, a studio in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do Province, Korea, to promote their art making jihwa, or flowers made with the traditional paper Hanji. They seek to raise awareness of their country’s endangered indigenous plants by making delicate paper flowers, reflecting the floral art of the Goryeo and Joseon dynasties.

On the left is a mugunghwa (rose of sharon) Hanji craft work by Hanjiroum Studio founders and sisters Kwon Young-eun and Young-hyun. Fun fact: You can learn to make paper with rose of sharon stems in my book, Papermaking with Garden Plants & Common Weeds.

    Helen I registered for the PHOTO CUBE event listed here: Register for this event and get the supply list here. This workshop will take place on Weds, 12/20 at Noon mountain time (GMT – 7), but when I registered it said it was on December 17th.

    Is it the 17tho or the 20th? If it’s both I prefer the 20th.
    thanks
