Crafting Korean Traditional Bookbinding Notebook

This experience was an amazing experience in Seoul! It's very conveniently located in a cute neighborhood, and the studio where you do the activity is so beautiful. The teacher explained everything in great detail in English, and helped us when we needed help. Making the actual book took only an hour and a half to complete. The process was very simple - so it's beginner friendly, and the notebook you get to take home is very beautiful! Highly recommend this activity for those who want to make a personalized souvenir from Seoul in the style of traditional Korean books. (The teacher also took some amazing photos of us during the experience!)

I love craft and I have a wonderful time at “Danchoodan” this morning, learning the craft of book binding in the traditional way. Jin Hee is very patient and kind in conducting the class. It is well lit place with furniture that are well thought of, made for the purpose of the class. Comfortable and relaxing. Though today class was made up of solo travellers, the class was not “quiet”. We shared and discussed on our choices of cover, thread. An option to consider if you want something away from shopping, walking, or sightseeing. It is not difficult to find this place. Google map show the building. NAVER map guide you in subway transit. Alight at Daeheung station. Once out of Exit 2 (on road surface) made a u-turn to your left and walk along the pathment (without crossing any street). keep walking to building with address “100”. A signage “Danchoodan” in front of the building. Use the intercom (follow the instruction pasted on the glass door) for access. You won’t miss it.

2hs of so much fun ! We were 3 guests total, the vibes were good and we easily talked among ourselves and our host. Jinny was so bubbly and interesting to talk with ! Even if she says she does not speak well english, we managed to understand all instructions and also make small talk ! The place was a bit tricky to find so I will be adding a picture of the front. You have to ring the door and she will open it for you, then walk some stairs up and you have this bright atelier ! Definitly an activity to redo, very quiet neighbourhood and close to transports too.

Not only was the teacher helpful and so friendly, the hanji notebook was also a beautiful project to take home and remember Korea by. I loved all of the wonderful options from the hanji covers to the colorful norigae. The teacher guided me every step of the way and explained everything very well. It’s a great experience that I would recommended to anyone! I almost don’t want to use the notebook because of how stunning it came out! THANK YOU VERY MUCH DANCHOODAN ◡̈

A great way to spend 2 hours in Seoul and you get to take home a little bit of Korea with you. It comes with easy to follow instructions from a very patient Teacher Jinhee and you’ll get to customize the look of your book from an assortment of colours available. The experience was both fun and satisfying!

This course is definitely worth joining! The environment is very comfortable. Even if you don’t speak Korean, it’s totally fine—the teacher explains clearly in simple English, and also guides you step by step with great care. The teacher even checks everything carefully, so there’s no need to worry about falling behind. And at the end, there’s even thoughtful packaging—it’s really amazing! If you get the chance, you should definitely try it!

This is an amazing class! Jinhee is calm and super organized. She was also very attentive. The resulting book is beautiful and now I need to find the perfect pen to write in it with! I highly recommend this class!

I absolutely loved this! Not only is Jinhee a great teacher, but she's also so sweet and friendly. I had so much fun chatting with her during the class and the time really flew by! Everything was explained clearly, and I love how my book turned out. This is definitely one of the highlights of my trip! I'd highly recommend this class to anyone!

this was such a relaxing and enjoyable experience! I love working with my hands and connecting to the cultural practices of the places I am visiting. the enviornment was very pleasant and the teacher had a wonderful disposition and was very generous and patient. I appreciate this experience and will recommend it to my friends if they ever visit!

An amazing experience. Making the notebook is easy and if you get stuck the instructor will help you out with everything. It is a wonderful souvenir from Korea! I really recommend booking this experience.
