Korean fabric arts

Korean fabric arts

Korean fabric arts have a long history, and only now are being seen as worth archaeological study, preservation, and research work. The traditional arts of Korean embroidery, Korean knots, Korean clothing and the rarer arts of Korean blinds weaving and Korean paper clothing are worthy of study.

This article looks at the totality of Korean fabric arts, that is work in fabric done by Koreans, in Korea, or by Koreans overseas using primarily natural materials, or increasingly sophisticated combinations of synthetic and natural materials with natural and synthetic dyes for art purposes.
