Use the Korean Art of Joomchi to Felt Mulberry papers and create durrable, sculptural organic forms
This technique uses the particular qualities of mulberry paper to craft papers into a solid and durable fabric-like material. Hanji (Korean mulberry paper) is manipulated by hand, moulded and felted, rubbed and coaxed, causing the long fibres, typical of mulberry papers, to felt and adhere to each other. The paper becomes stronger the more it is worked.
The process creates strong, textural, textile-like papers that become elegantly smooth with use. The result can be six times stronger than ordinary Hanji papers, sewn into clothing, or used to make functional items such as wallets, containers and covers.
With scant information about this process, Louise follows advice to just give it a go. This exploration of the materials and process will be shared as a journey you can join. Hope you enjoy it and get to experience this technique and the fantastic handmade mulberry paper's unique qualities.

Hi Peter. All good here except for a new water feature in our dining room. The flat above had a leak last night. But otherwise all good, hope you and yours are also okay. I will hopefully be posting the next stage on Friday. Keep well and all the best, Louise
Simply beautiful. Quite a process resulting in a such distinctive product, I loved watching this. Oh, and I think paint on your face is very acceptable!

Hi Sonia, sorry for the late response. Hanji is mulberry paper just the Korean name. So glad that the videos have inspired and good luck with it all. It requires some patience and also a sensitive response to the medium but Has loads of potential. Enjoy. X

@@LouiseJannetta can you tell me approximately the drying time??? I ended up not trying it because of fear of it still being wet when I have to leave..

@@raggapuss hi again. Drying time will depend on the thickness of the joomchied papers and also the temperature. But it needs to feel dry with no damp bits. I had to leave mine two days at least, but it is cold in my studio at this time of year. If you can put it in a warm place then drying time will be reduced x
what glue are you using, is it rice glue, is it wallpaper glue? thanks
@LouiseJannetta

No glue is used. The idea is that it is the manipulation with the hands that felts the fibres together. If you used glue then there is a possibility that everything will stick together. If it is just manipulated then you will be surprised at how it unravels between squeezing to just bond between the layers that you have put together and not between the squashed and squeezed layers within the ball in your hand. Good luck with it XXX😀
