What to expect

Depending on the activity you choose, you’ll spend 1 to 2 hours creating your own piece using traditional Korean hanji. Rather than simply following a fixed craft, this workshop invites you to explore the artistic possibilities of hanji.

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.

Create your own hanji keyring or magnet — choose between a flower or a moon jar design.

Review for: Hanji Starter Workshop (30min)

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^^!
