Learn how to make a Maedeup 

What is Maedeup?

Maedeup (매듭) is the traditional Korean craft of decorative knotting. It’s derived from the early practice of using knots to hold hunting and fishing tools around the waist, dating back to the Three Kingdoms period (37 B.C - A.D 668). It has since evolved into a form of decorative art.

What will you learn?

Each knot is named with different meanings tied to it. Students will learn how to make a simple Dongsimgyeol Maedeup, also known as the “binding two hearts forever” knot. It’s a knot worn as a symbol of love, loyalty and luck and is commonly used as a celebratory occasion.
