A garment made stitch by stitch
Nubi is a traditional Korean technique that places cotton between layers of cloth and holds them together with closely spaced stitching. At KCDF Gallery, 'Gathering Dots, Making Paths' brings together works by nubi instructor and heritage practitioner Yoo Sun-hee and fellow makers, including reconstructions of Joseon-period clothing, training pieces and contemporary applications.
