Fazendo uma colher tradicional de madrepérola laqueada em Seul

Unlike what is stated in the description. You continue the work of other participants because the actual process takes 8 days. In the last step, you choose a spoon and chopsticks and do the finishing touches. And you take that with you. You learn every step of the process and do the work for the next day for other participants. The man is very nice, explains and helps you with every step, and shows you how it's done. He checks everything again and tells/shows you if anything needs to be improved. In the end, you also get a small surprise.

We attended the workshop with our instructor. The workshop is more about learning the process of how chopsticks and spoons are traditionally decorated. You still have a hands-on practical demonstration by him of how it's done and then you also get to lacquer your own spoon and chopsticks and apply mother of pearl. There are quite a few stages to preparing and lacquering the wood; and at the end of the session you get to take a pair of chopsticks and a spoon. This workshop is value for money. But you might find it a difficult place to navigate to. The instructors workshop is located on the second floor of a small industrial complex. At first glance you might think you're not in the right area, but his workshop is definitely in that complex. (NB: our family carefully plotted our navigation the night before using hotel reception staffs help. For us, this was essential).

Superb experience with a very kind gentleman, who guided us through several steps of lacquering traditional spoons and chopsticks. We recommend this activity 100%. Be careful when accessing it, you need to go upstairs and look for the storefront with "spoon" written on it. We left with a smile and handmade chopsticks!

An unmissable experience!! The gentleman who runs the activity is phenomenally kind! He speaks a little English but explains by showing, so there's no problem understanding! I recommend 100%.

Un poco difícil de encontrar (es la segunda entrada y luego hay que subir las escaleras al lado de los baños; se puede ver un letrero gigante de "spoon" en el segundo piso), pero una vez allí nos sorprendió ser las únicas dos personas haciendo la experiencia y el instructor fue muy amable, guiándonos a través de todos los pasos. Todo estaba incluido y también nos proporcionaron unos palillos de metal y una pequeña bolsa, junto con un amuleto del zodiaco, lo cual fue muy agradable.

It was a fun, informative and memorable experience. The host has limited English but he did a good job explaining to us the steps and the reasons for them. You also get to keep a nice souvenir to bring home.

My uncle was very patient and guided us through the experience of making the spoon. It was fun learning how the lacquered spoon and chopsticks were made and discovering the history of Korea through their creation. I definitely recommend this activity. 👍👍👍

Toute ma famille a passé un moment merveilleux (nous avons des filles âgées de 7 à 14 ans). L'instructeur a été gentil et patient avec nous et a expliqué le processus en détail. Nous sommes ravis d'avoir de si mémorables souvenirs à rapporter à la maison. Je le recommande vivement ! Notez qu'il peut être un peu difficile de trouver l'emplacement, alors assurez-vous d'utiliser une application de navigation !

Such a fun experience. The gentleman who led the class was so very kind and patient. It's an educational experience. You take part in various steps, but because of drying times, you take home what someone else started, which is pretty fun, as you get to uncover the choices of others. We really enjoyed it.

The person hosting the class was very informative and tried his best to conduct the class with the limited English he had. He made sure that my classmates and I understood what we did and the rationales behind the steps.
