Artworks made by girl group NewJeans using hanji, traditional Korean mulberry paper, to go on auction this weekend [KCDF]
Two pieces of hanji, traditional Korean paper, works made by girl group NewJeans will be auctioned off by the Korea Craft and Design Foundation (KCDF), the state-run craft institute said Thursday.
The two pieces were made by the members of NewJeans while they took part in a hanji-making workshop with hanji-maker Ahn Chi-yong for a promotional video for the Korean traditional mulberry paper uploaded on YouTube last month.
One is a hanji-decorated light with a flower pattern and the other is a hanji artwork collage made with pieces of hanji on a large canvas.
The online auction will start Saturday 3 p.m. through the KCDF's website and finish the day after on Sunday at 3 p.m.
The profit will go to supporting hanji makers.
