- Let’s get Started - The Art of Joomchi, The Beginning.
This technique uses the particular qualities of mulberry paper to craft papers into a solid and durable fabric-like material. Hanji (Korean mulberry paper) is manipulated by hand, moulded and felted, rubbed and coaxed, causing the long fibres, typical of mulberry papers, to felt and adhere to each other. The paper becomes stronger the more it is worked.
The process creates strong, textural, textile-like papers that become elegantly smooth. The result can be six times stronger than ordinary Hanji papers and can be sewn into clothing or used to make functional items such as wallets, containers and covers.
With scant information about this process, Louise follows advice to just give it a go. This exploration of the materials and process will be shared as a journey you can join. Hope you enjoy it and experience this technique and the unique qualities of handmade mulberry paper.

Hanji, or Korean paper, is the name of traditional handmade paper from Korea. Hanji or mulberry paper is made from the inner bark of Broussonetia papyrifera, known colloquially as paper mulberry or DAK. Dak is a tree native to Korea that grows well on the sunny slopes of Korea’s many mountains. It is prized for its long white fibres. The formation aid crucial to making hanji is the mucilage that oozes from the roots of the Hibiscus Manihot. This substance helps suspend individual fibres in water. Traditional hanji is produced in laminated sheets using the we bal method (a sheet formation technique), which allows for multi-directional grain[3]. Creating hanji also employs dochim, a method of pounding finished sheets to compact fibres and lessen ink bleed. Hanji paper is famous across Asia for its white colour and extreme durability and was a high import to China in tribute missions.
Oh my how fascinating! TH-cam is such an amazing source of all things interesting and fabulous! I’ve never heard of this art form but am inspired to learn more about it. Asian aesthetic is so appealing to me because the technique often seems hidden. Unusual materials add to this mystery.
You are so right. Mindful, respectful and a lesson in material, integrity and form. X Many thanks for watching. All the best, Louise X
As a former paper maker, I understand the nature of cellulose fibres to tangle with each other and bond. Vander Val’s forces. That’s how paper is made. So rehydrating the paper relaxes some of those fibres so they bond with the nearby fibres. Mulberry paper is good because the fibres are long and strong and can tolerate all the manipulating. Newspaper, construction paper, and many craft papers are made from wood pulp which are very short fibres and not strong and so will likely disintegrate rather than rebond.
Your vid has really inspired me to try with the small mulberry papers I got from Amazon in my case all in the pink family and all fabulous for this technique. I have also done momigami and use a little bit of glycerine in the water. (about 1part glycerine to 6 parts water or more dilute. too much glycerine leaves the paper tacky) thanks so much again!🦌💌❤️📚
Thanks for the fabulous information, very helpful for everyone. May I copy this and put it in my description below the video. And many thanks for watching. Good luck with you Joomchi x
yes, thank you for your sharing!🦌💌❤️📚
Oh I love this. And I just happen to live in the hanji capital of the world….S. Korea. Will definitely be trying this.
Thank you and lucy you I would love to get my hands on loads of that stuff. A really interesting medium. XX Enjoy
A bit late to this video Louise, only found it two seconds ago. Watching you demonstrate Joomchi leaves me wanting more lol 😄 your designs remind me of minimalist art quilts or the Bauhaus designs of Annie Adler (?) they are so beautiful Louise ❤ definitely want to try this paper art!
oh my goodness! I do wet felting and also mixed media but i never thought of felting paper! I must try this, thank you!
Thanks for watching and glad it is inspiring you to try something new. Paper felting is very different to wool felting; the results are not so controlled. However the techniques offer loads. I hope you enjoy x😃
What an amazing process. I’ve never heard of this before. Thanks for sharing your knowledge (-: Marion 🎉
You are very welcome! Glad you like it and hope you get a chance to play X Keep well and warm, Lou X😀
This looks very Wabi-Sabi too. I'll have to try it with encaustic medium. Thank you for sharing with us 🤓🎨🙏
Absolutely. Reflecting on Gaia and newmatereialism too X Thank you for your feed back and so happy you are enjoying it. Many thanks for watching.
Your designs are exquisite. Instructions wonderful.
Ohhlalaaa, I absolutely love to discover this technique! I must try this out someday soon! Just have to find Mullberrypaper. I believe you said having got it by mail. Thank you so much for having shared your knowledge!
Hi Katharina. I hope you get to give it a go. I ended up ordering through Etsy from Korea. Loads of the lovely stuff. Many thanks for watching and enjoy. All the very best, Louise X

Fantastic!
Thanks very much Kristine so glad you enjoyed it x
I love the designs you got! This is cool! Thanks!
And thank you for watching x
I love your video. I have rolls of mulberry papers and use to make book cloth. Now I can hardly wait to try this. I only have white paper for now. But recently have revive my interest in embroidery and I also might try encaustic for som smaller pieces.
beautiful.........
Thank you! Cheers! X Many thanks for watching X
New Subbie here from Yorkshire UK! I love this technique and yours turned out lovely! Thank you for sharing, I must try it some time :)
Welcome! Thank you for subscribing X😀 Glad you like them and manythanks for watching X

Glad you liked it and hope you had a good break. Thanks for watching and hope your paper felting goes well. All the best ,Lou
How exciting! I love these pieces. My original training was in textile art way back in the 1960s. I do like the multi layered look and the lovely holes as well.
Thank you, I really enjoyed making these; the results give so many possibilities. I have only scratched the surface but I am looking forward to doing more. I hope you get the chance to play with this. Time-consuming, but worth it X. Many thanks for watching
Another very interesting video!❤
Glad you enjoyed it😀
Well L.J. -
When you promise, you deliver.
This is beyond super wicked.
Are there other substrates that are user-friendly with this amazing technique? Please o please say yes & that you will share with us.
Keep doing your videos with your talent.
?: Just how does it feel to be the leader?
Thank you. Blessings. Now.
Hi Connie, so glad you like it. I am going to try other papers and it will be a pleasure to share the results. Thanks for watching and hopefully see you again x
Yess!!❤❤❤
Very interesting demonstration ... I've just received a Joomchi instruction book and now I can make a lot more sense of the process having watched this ... thank you ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Very interesting! Would you tell us the title of this book? This would be helpful 🤗🙏
@@chawanya Joomchi & Beyond
by Jiyoung Chung ... expensive & not readily available but well worth time & $$$
@@gr8fng Thank you for your quick answer. This seems to be the only book on this theme? I'd seen the prizes... If there where no copyright, I would beg you to copy and send it to me 😉🤗🙏
Very, very nice!! 🙂 Thank you!❤
Thank you! Cheers! Many thanks for watching
Very interesting!!!
I think so too! There is slot of potential in this technique. However, it is a labour of love. Thanks for your interest.
Love these, exciting! I plan to tune in to your live broadcast. Hopefully I have the correct time for Washington State, which would be 10 a.m. on October 2nd. Looking forzwrd to that, thank you for these wonderful teachings!
Hi Mary. So sorry for the late reply. I was making sure I gave you the correct answer about the live video time. As far as I can tell, if I broadcast at 6pm on the 2nd Oct yes, it will be 10 am on the 2nd Oct in Washington. Hope you can make it and also that I can manage my first live stream XX. Many thanks for your support, and I look forward to hearing from you on Sunday. All the very best, Louise 😃
@@LouiseJannetta You’re so kind to reply, I didn’t mean for you to have to look that up, I’m sorry for adding more work to your day. Thank you for taking the time, I appreciate it and am excited for tomorrow!
@@MaryGadsby no trouble Mary, I needed to start to get it organised. Not sure how it will go but cross fingers and all will be well. See you there x
Thanks!
Thank you very much. I hope the TH-cam channel gives you some good tips and inspiration. Your gift is much appreciated. Thank you for watching, and all the very best.
Louise😀
@@LouiseJannetta Louise, It is I who thank you. As a senior (retired jazz musician and composer) I was new to literally everything. Over the past year or so I have learned so much from you, been so inspired by you. I have plowed forward cherishing every fruitful moment. I can say without a speck of exaggeration, this, all this, has transformed my life.
@@wileycom Happy you are enjoying them. Keep well and all the best Louise
This is a fascinating technique! I'm in Canada and still trying to find a good source for mulberry paper. Thank you so much for this excellent video. Looking forward to your live.
Thank you, Sharon. You are so welcome! I hope you can make my first live video broadcast. I may have chosen a difficult time for some, and I hope it is not too inconvenient. It is all a learning curve, and I can respond to any suggestions in the future. Hope to see you there on Sunday 😃
So what besides art do the Koreans use the Joomchi. I like all the all the pieces for different reasons. Thank you again. I am as they say binge watching😊.
Thanks again, GB; thank you so much for your interest and watching the videos; it all really helps. X
The Joomchied papers have a strength that allows them to be used as book covers in bookbinding. The Japanese also use it to make garments, lanterns, parasols, purses and for the divisions within their homes. It is a time-consuming skill but has been put to good use in their traditional crafts.😀
This is very interesting art form, you've inspired me to try something new, thank you.
Happy to hear that! hve fun X
@@LouiseJannetta oh my word I shall! Cheers from Tasmania!
Dies ist keine Kunst-Richtung sondern eine Fertigungstechnik.
Wow! I love this. Do all the papers have to be Mulberry?
There is a good comment in one of the comments above about the attributes of mulberry that lend themselves to felting. But you can put different papers between the layers. You just need enough mulberry to allow it all to felt up. X
Beautiful results. Can’t wait to try it out. Are all of the layers mulberry or have you combined tissue paper as well.
These were all mulberry but you can use other papers in-between. I think you just need to make sure there is enough mulberry to keep it all felted together x
Oh my goodness I have so wanted to understand this process and left so excited by watching your video .Will certainly be here at 6 O clock . Did try the thanks button but I failed as my browser failed to verify in time . will try again .I there another way ?
Hi Sue, thanks for watching the live video so nice to actually have a conversation with everyone. Sorry about the thanks button it is something TH-cam deal with and I think it is the only way to contribute XX Thank you for trying. If there is a problem please let me know and I will contact TH-cam X Look after yourself and all the very best, Louise
Lovely and interesting technique. Would you treat this paper also with oil or other product ?
Hi again. Yes, traditionally, they oil it, and wax it. Felted or momigamied mulberry paper is used for clothing, interior walls, parasols, lampshades, etc. It is a great product and is strengthened by the kneaded or folding process. Enjoy X😀
@@LouiseJannetta Cool ! Just received my order of Konjac powder !!! Will start my bear project !
@@studioplanetesilhouette@studioplanetesilhouette Great, it will be lovely to see the end result. Good Luck XXX
Are the colored pieces mulberry paper as well ? Can you buy it already dyed?
Hi Karen. Yes, these papers are all mulberry papers. They are all pre-dyed, and the colour runs when wet. You could buy white and paint it in acrylic. I get mine from the following retailer in GB - here is the link - This link is an affiliate link, meaning I will get a very small percentage of the sale. action.metaffiliation.com/trk.php?mclic=P4E6A757AF331D1&redir=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.greatart.co.uk%2Fpulsar-mulberry-paper.html 😀
Could you use as lamp shades..to show the layers
absolutely, they would work really well X Thanks for the tip X😀
There is not a link (or whatever it would be called) to contribute and show appreciation for your time and energy.
Can you reinstate it? ❤
Thank you for letting me know, yes I must get that organised again XXXX😀
Adding nut oil sounds like it would affect the longevity of the paper as oil has a tenancy to go rancid over time. It would change the look of the paper for the better though I imagine. Would the oil not come off on the framing glass also?
Hi again Sherry; I was using the nut oil at first, but I think I would use poppy oil now. I think if it is left to completely dry, it works well. I have framed up a small one, but I would usually leave the large Joomchied papers unframed. XX😀
Can you use other papers than mulberry paper? Thank you for sharing these techniques you have breathed alot of life into my work
Thank you for watching. So glad you like it. As far as I know only these mulberry papers and wool will felt in this way, but I am going to try silk and cotton papers to see what happens xx
I spelled it wrong: Van deer Waals forces is the correct spelling.💌❤️📚
Thanks again xx
Has anybody tried adding a bit of wool fiber between the paper layers? Wondering if it would felt into the mulberry fibers. Might end up as a nifty textile, maybe stronger and more suited for sewing into garments.
Such a good idea. I will give it a go.
April. I'll try this and do a video but I will credit you with the idea. Xxxx
@@LouiseJannetta Thanks, hope it works! I"d try it myself - just came across this idea of paper felting (I'm usually a wool felter), but I'm traveling and nowhere near a workspace or my wool stash at the moment.
Oh my..
I can’t believe how gorgeous this is…
How would you go about making one about a metre in size??
Small and sewn together??
Bless you for sharing…
Count me in as a subscriber
❤
Hi so glad you like it. A big one would be the same process. I haven't tried it yet but I would certainly tru rolling it in the bamboo blinds to felt it. Alteratively you can rollit in fine bubblw wrap as well. Good luck X
PS You remind me so much 0of Julia Ormond, an actress I like very very much.
I'll have to look her up x
This is cool. Did you paint the mulberry paper or bought it colored ? If painted, is it acrylic paint ?
Hi, I didn't paint it and the dye did come out and colour the other papers but had a good effect. I am going to get white or cream and colour it in acrylic so that the colour is fixed. Just to see what happens x
@@LouiseJannetta Thanks for the quick answer. I bought some paper yesterday. Will do a try out with a few small pieces that I will paint with acrylics.
@@mmemix good luck, I'm sure it will be another lovely possibility x
So beautiful. It surely reminds me of felting wool. Where did you get the larger size kanji sheets, if it's okay to ask?
Thanks for watching and there is a link to a supplier in Britain in the description below. I got a load from China but it was expensive as the postage costs were high. If you would like that supplier please ask me for the details
@@LouiseJannetta Thank you so much for your guidance on all this. Shipping costs can be a major consideration these days. I'd appreciate the details when you have time. The company that you linked to offers a good size paper. The larger the better so that it doesn't seem so precious. Makes it easier to experiment with colors and shapes.
@@LouiseJannetta Yes, please share the details about where you sourced the large size papers. Thank you so much for offering. Different companies carry different colors so this is becoming a lovely adventure!
@@epoelker Hi I think the Chinese supplier was www.etsy.com/cart/?ref=yr_purchases&show_cart=7079454817 I contacted them to ask if they could supply more colours.
Merci !
Very kind, thanks alot X😀
@@LouiseJannetta You're worth it !
The source for the paper is great however, they don't ship out of country? I live in Ontario, Canada. Does anyone have a good source for me?
Hi, I initially bought a load from China, through Etsy. But I bought in quantity so as to reduce the overall cost of postage. the link to the sales site is - www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ExoticMerchantCrafts?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=1155612561.
