Trend: Korean patchwork, see some at the MET

Like me, Simply Robin has a thing for Pojagi (Korean patchwork). Go to her blog and scroll down to see two pieces she made plus find out where she learned the technique.

Be inspired by the real thing. If you are in New York anytime now through December 11th, don’t miss this special exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that includes Korean patchwork textiles.

Arts of Korea/Patchwork Textiles
August 23, 2011 – December 11, 2011
On view will be highlights from the Museum’s Korean collection, including ceramics, metalwork, lacquer, and sculpture, dating from about the fourth century B.C. to 2008. Notable masterpieces will include a mid-seventh-century gilt-bronze Pensive Bodhisattva; late thirteenth-century inlaid celadon Maebyeong with Cranes and Clouds; and an eighteenth-century porcelain Moon Jar. In addition, on the south side of the gallery will be an innovative installation of patchwork textiles from Korea (jogakbo) and other cultures drawn from the Met’s collections.
