Korean Paper Weaving

What is Korean Paper Weaving?

Where do they do paper weaving

Paper weaving is a craft in which thin strips or sheets of paper are woven together to create textured, lasting, and colorful creations. Woven paper has many different uses. Some of the simplest paper weaving projects are designed for children and can be used in conjunction with lessons on patterns and colors. Many professional artists are also paper weavers. Woven paper has a special place in traditional Japanese and Korean cultural crafts, as well, and often serves as a canvas of sorts for original art.

The basic tenet behind paper weaving is the interlay of paper strips. Strips are woven, one over the other, into some new whole. The thicker the strips and the more durable the paper, the easier the weaving project.

Paper weaving is a popular school craft, particularly for young children. Weaving helps children develop dexterity and coordination and can also reinforce lessons on colors and patterns. It does not take a lot of talent to make a simple woven mat, and young artists of all skill levels can participate and quickly master the technique.

Not all paper weaving projects are so simple. More advanced crafters often make intricate murals and patterned designs by weaving narrow paper strips together. With a bit of planning, an artist can create a woven paper portrait by using strips of paper strategically colored and tinted such that a larger image appears once the strips are joined together.
