Experiência Artesanal em Seul: Crie Seu Próprio Presente Bojagi

If you're ever venturing around the Hongdae area or, are looking for a unique, rewarding and uplifting experience then look no further than Studio Bojagi. The Studio offers classes to learn and immerse in the beauty that is Bojagi wrapping. Upon walking into the studio, we were greeted with a very beautifully presented, spacious and clean room. Our mentor/studio owner MJ was brilliant. She explained how the art of Bojagi has evolved throughout time and even demonstrated how to wrap different items of different sizes. She was very polite, patient and welcoming, went into each step of Bojagi wrapping brilliantly and allowed us to have a turn in flourishing the techniques. Her passion and drive to keep and, pass on the cultural tradition of Bojagi is incredibly admirable. For all you gift giving/wrapping lovers or, people looking for a wonderfully thought out experience. Studio Bojagi is the one which needs that exposure.

The place was lovely. We were lucky as we were the only students at that time. The teacher was very patient and encouraging. Worth another visit! Can’t wait for the advance classes which I hope are coming soon! 🥰

The space was truly beautiful. I loved all four knot-tying methods taught in the class; they were all so pretty. What I found most satisfying was being able to choose my own furoshiki fabric and decorative charms. The furoshiki I picked was the same as those sold in the store, priced at 15,000 KRW each, and the class provided two pieces, so I felt it was excellent value for money. The furoshiki fabric is double-sided. I chose two blue pieces, using one side for one wrap and the reverse side for another, and the results were particularly good. Even if your knot shape isn't perfect, the instructor will help you adjust it promptly, so there's absolutely no need to worry. Finally, here's an important tip I learned in class: when tightening the fabric or tying knots, you need to pull harder than you might expect for the finished product to look beautiful.

instructor: The instructor I had was so lovely and kind. She explained the history of Botagi wrapping and its tradition. In general, it was really fun to speak with her. She also offered to take pictures during the class. She also offered to show me a different kind of use for Botagi that isn't part of the class. Truly kind of her😊 experience: I had a really good experience learning how to wrap Botagi. It was interesting, and learning something I can do for family and friends is nice. equipment: The variety of equipment is really good, and if you want to buy the Botagi equipment at the end of the class, you can. They sell it, and I'm glad I bought some. location: The location was really easy to find, and you can hang out in the area. A really nice neighborhood.

I had a truly meaningful experience at Studio Bojagi, a place filled with the beauty of Korean tradition. I joined a bojagi wrapping class that I had always wanted to try. The session began with a brief introduction to the history of bojagi, followed by learning four different wrapping techniques that can be used for gifts. At the end of the class, I was able to take home the piece I made. The fabrics we used were all designed and produced by Studio Bojagi itself, and they are also available for purchase. I thought it was a wonderful idea, since they can be beautifully reused when giving gifts to friends and family.

Among all the experiences we enjoyed during our trip, this was by far the most exceptional. The class is thoughtfully designed, refined, and effortlessly accessible. Beyond the hands-on practice, we also gained meaningful insight into the history of bojagi — its cultural significance, evolving meanings, and diverse uses across generations. The instructor’s expertise is evident throughout, with a true sense of artistry, precision, and craftsmanship. A truly memorable and enriching experience — not to be missed !!

A very lovely way to spend some time learning a traditional art form in a tranquil setting! MJ is a kind and knowledgeable teacher. The class starts includes a Korean drink and snacks, followed by a short history of Bojagi, providing a well-rounded and enriching experience. I highly recommend taking her class!

Mi Jung's stüdyosunda Bojagi yapma sanatını öğrenirken harika zaman geçirdik. Bizi içecekler ve ilginç kurabiyelerle (Hangul şeklinde) güzelce dekore edilmiş stüdyosunda karşıladı. Çok ilginç bir öğrenme deneyimiydi ve Mi Jung çok teşvik edici ve sabırlıydı. Dersten sonra gelecekteki Bojagi sarmaları için ekstra kumaş ve norigae takıları satın alabildik. Kore kültürü ve el sanatları hakkında daha fazla bilgi edinmek isteyen herkese bu dersi şiddetle tavsiye ederim. Onunla gelecekteki gezileri ve dersleri dört gözle bekliyorum.❤️

We had such an enjoyable time at this bojagi Korean fabric wrapping class! Located in the Hongdae area, the studio itself was lovely, and our instructor was absolutely wonderful--kind, patient, and generous in teaching us several different wrapping techniques. She made the experience feel both relaxed and informative. In addition to the class, the owner has created a beautiful selection of fabrics that are available for purchase, which was a nice bonus. Overall, we had such a great time and would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning more about the Korean tradition of bojagi fabric wrapping. A lovely way to spend an afternoon in Seoul!

I had a wonderful experience at the bojagi class. MJ instructor is very warm and welcoming, and she explains everything clearly, which made it easy and enjoyable to follow even as a beginner. What really stood out was her kindness. I arrived late and she patiently waited for me, and after the class I realised I had lost my wallet. She went above and beyond to help me, guiding me on what to do and even following up later to check if I was okay. A beautiful class with a truly thoughtful teacher. Highly recommended.
