On the evening of May 5th, KOLex partnered with the Cary Memorial Library to host the “Timeless Korean Specialities: Red Ginseng & the Aesthetics of Bojagi Wrapping.” It was a truly meaningful time as we introduced Koreaβs precious traditions to our local neighbors.
The event consisted of two main parts. First, we had a session for participants to learn about Korean Ginseng and Red Ginseng. The participants learned how Red Ginseng is made and why it has been so widely loved in Korea for many years. Participants watched a demonstration of slicing Red Ginseng roots and enjoyed warm Red Ginseng tea together.
Next, there was a hands-on workshop for Bojagi, the traditional Korean art of wrapping. Participants learned how to tie various beautiful knots using Bojagi fabric. It was wonderful to see the attendees enthusiastically following along and tying the knots themselves. Everyone was fascinated by how a plain piece of cloth could transform into beautiful packaging.
It was great to see so many people from our community show such an interest in Korean culture. Β Thank you to Ms Boeun Kim for the great lesson, and to our KOLex members for participating.
