Hanji Comes Home: Korean Papermaking from Korea to Ohio

Artist Aimee Lee (OC 1999) presented a brief overview of hanji (Korean paper) and how it was used by Koreans through history, from mundane and everyday functions to enormous projects that remain as extant national treasures. Lee shared her journey traveling to Korea multiple times in search of a connection to her heritage through art, culture, and papermaking, and how that road led to creating a home for hanji in Northeast Ohio. This event was recorded on November 6, 2025 as part of the Allen’s Allen After Hours series. Special thanks to the Office of Alumni Engagement for their support of this lecture.
