What to expect
Hello, I’m Jeongju Welcome to my calligraphy workshop, where you’ll experience the meditative joy of traditional Korean brush calligraphy. This peaceful activity offers a chance to slow down, relax your mind, and immerse yourself in Korean culture. I’ll guide you through the process, introducing you to traditional calligraphy materials and teaching you mindful brush techniques. You’ll start with practice sessions focusing on basic strokes and Hangul characters. Then, you’ll practice your names in 2 versions in writing. Next you can practice your own personalized scroll with a meaningful message. At last you are going to create your your own personalized scroll in Hangul. To add an authentic touch, you can choose to embellish your work with a traditional stamp that I’ll provide.

-All materials needed for the activity are provided. Think about the notes you would like to write on your scroll.
Reviews
Even as an experienced calligrapher, I had a wonderfully refreshing and educational time! The experience began with a thorough explanation of the similarities and differences between Japanese calligraphy and Korean calligraphic culture. I was very satisfied to learn not just how to write characters, but also to gain a deep understanding of the cultural background. When I told them what I wanted to write, they immediately provided a very clear example and kindly taught me tips and key points. Thanks to the warm atmosphere, which emphasized "enjoying the process rather than trying to write perfectly," the experience itself became a truly wonderful memory. I highly recommend this experience not only to beginners but also to those with prior calligraphy experience!
Our family enjoyed this calligraphy class on New Year’s Day; it was certainly an unexpected highlight. We learned some history, proper brush stroking, practiced a bit, and then made our custom scrolls. It was a beautiful/cultural way to document our intention for the new year. The class size was a total of six with half of that being our family so it was intimate and special. She spoke near fluent English, having traveled and lived in various places. Because the class is on the main Insadong Cultural Street, it’s easy to get to and also easy to enjoy other activities immediately after. We took a short walk to IKSEONDONG for lunch.
