What to expect

You may create objects such as a small tray, vase, mirror, or decorative piece, but each work becomes unique through your own color combinations, textures, and personal ideas. From traditional hanji layering to contemporary techniques like hanji painting or joomchi, the process allows room for creativity and personal expression.
Surrounded by a wide range of hanji colors in a peaceful hanok studio, you’ll have the opportunity to design and create something truly your own a handmade piece that carries both Korean tradition and your personal touch.

Reviews
I was the only one in the class. It was a lot of fun. She speaks very good English. You learn where Hanji paper comes from and how it is made. Depending on the class, you choose your object and the color you want the paper to be. After that, every step is explained as she demonstrates how it is done on the object. Tea is offered, along with two small snacks, one sweet and one savory.
The Hanji craft experience was incredibly fun. I want to try making something else next time^^~ Making a moon jar-shaped keyring, the time flew by in an instant. It was so much fun choosing the patterns, sizes, Hanji, and high-quality materials. Although it was my first time, the instructor explained everything clearly, so I finished the session smoothly. I absolutely love the way the inner patterns become clearer and the glossy texture. How can something be so fine and pretty? Also, the Hanji workshop was a very elegant and charming traditional Korean house, which made it even more special. Being able to see various Hanji craft works and take a class in Bukchon Village allowed me to spend precious time with my friend. I highly recommend it^^!
Ally was super nice and personable. her shop is so cool with everything handmade with hanji! would love to take another class with her. she was so kind and knowledgeable and even gave snacks and free gift st the end.
I had a great time learning about hanji and getting hands on experience. The lady was super nice. We were talking about many things. I learned a lot and got inspired to dive more into traditional crafts. Would definitivly recommend it if you are intereseted in crafts and korean culture
I got lost so missed this booking. they sent me a thoughtful email saying they missed my presence. I’ll visit them next time I’m in Seoul
