Eunhee Cho is a contemporary jewelry artist based in Seoul, South Korea. Her work is grounded in a deep exploration of traditional Korean craft techniques and materials, combined with innovative experimentation. She primarily works with Hanji, traditional Korean paper, and reinterprets the craft technique of Jiseung—twisting and weaving Hanji—through a contemporary lens, transforming it into poetic and sculptural forms. Growing up in a home filled with antique furniture, old books and paintings, and Historical Korean Artifacts, she naturally absorbed the aesthetics and sensibilities of Korean heritage. These early experiences instilled in her a deep appreciation for the quiet dignity of objects shaped by time and dedication—an invisible thread that continues to inform her artistic sensibility. Rather than merely replicating tradition, Cho honors the wisdom embedded in it while reimagining it with a modern and personal touch. In her hands, Hanji is reborn as a material that is both soft and resilient, delicate and enduring, modest and splendid. Eunhee Cho has received several prestigious awards for her work using Hanji and Jiseung techniques. Having earned international recognition with the Acquisition Prize at MAD About Jewelry 2026 and the Homo Faber Award at the Cheongju International Craft Competition 2025, she actively presents her work on the global stage.
