Make cheongsachorong

Korean Positive Ageing Charitable Trust are a local cultural organisation that acts as a support network, for the Korean community in East Auckland (and wider Auckland area). Made up of qualified and skilled volunteers, they provide a range of activities, meetings, events, workshops, and opportunities for those who face daily challenges, particularly for older members and their families and to connect with their existing local communities.

Yongrahn is the founder of KPACT and she created a workshop inspired by Cheongsachorong. "Chorong" is a traditional silk lantern which represent ying and yang through the joining of two materials, a metaphor for bringing communities together.

This beautiful session was inspiring, bring the community together to learn and connect with the many talented Korean women involved in this project. Needlework skills were taught to create the cultural silk lantern so you could create your own.
