Discover bojagi, a traditional Korean wrapping cloth reimagined for modern, sustainable living as part of the Dublin by Dusk initative. 

Rooted in centuries of cultural practice, bojagi was historically used to wrap and protect objects, symbolising care and good fortune. Today, it offers a reusable and environmentally conscious alternative to disposable packaging.

This hands-on workshop introduces both the cultural heritage and contemporary applications of bojagi, guiding participants through a series of practical wrapping techniques using a variety of textiles. You will learn how to adapt these methods for everyday use—from gift presentation to functional carrying.

Please bring a wine bottle or similar bottle to wrap during the workshop. Each participant will take home only the Bojagi cloth used to wrap their wine bottle

Beginning 28th of May, we are opened until 20:00 on the last Thursday of every month, as part of "Dublin by Dusk", at the National Museum of Ireland, Collins Barracks and Kildare Street. Feel free to drop in before the event and explore our open galleries.
