Overview
You will have the chance to make your own deep blue handkerchief or scarf using Korean traditional natural dyeing technique -- "Indigo dyeing (‘Jjok’ in Korean)." With the guidance of professional experts, you can create your own pattern by folding, crumpling or even tying with a rubber band.
You'll be mesmerized by the beauty of the color purely from the nature. Another fun part is in waiting and imagining how the color and pattern of your piece will come out.
About traditional natural dyeing
Traditional Korean natural dyes are vegetable dyes from plants – roots, berries, bark, leaves, and wood — and other organic sources such as fungi and lichens. The red color from Sapan wood and safflower, yellow color from gardenia seeds, purple color from gardenia and blue color from the indigo plant are typically used. Products dyed with natural materials tend to have a softer feel than artificially dyed ones and breathe better as well, making them more elegant and practical fabric products.
History of Indigo dyeing in Korea
Records of indigo dyeing in Korea date back to the Three-Kingdoms period (B.C. 57-A.D. 676), though earlier Chinese accounts also mention blue clothes as one of the common products of earlier tribes in the Korean Peninsula. By the time of the Goryeo period (918-1392), the government had recognized the importance of the dyeing industry and set up public factories to produce dyed fabric for commercial sale. Natural dyeing persisted through the 20th century, when imported artificial dyes from Japan and the West began to replace traditional techniques.
