Karanasan sa Seoul Artisan: Likha ang Sarili Mong Regalong 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! 🥰

Ang lugar ay talagang napakaganda. Ang apat na uri ng pagbubuhol na natutunan sa klase ay napakaganda, at lahat sila ay nagustuhan ko. Ang pinakanasiyahan ako ay ang pagpili ko mismo ng tela ng bo자기 (bojagi) at palamuti. Ang napili kong tela ng bojagi ay kapareho ng ibinebenta sa tindahan, na nagkakahalaga ng 15,000 won bawat isa, at dalawang piraso ang ibinibigay sa kurso, kaya sa tingin ko ay sulit ito. Ang tela ng bojagi ay double-sided, pumili ako ng dalawang kulay asul, ginamit ko ang harapan ng isa, at ang likod ng isa para sa pambalot, at ang resulta ay napakaganda. Kahit na hindi perpekto ang hugis ng buhol, tutulungan ka ng guro na isaayos ito sa oras, kaya hindi mo kailangang mag-alala. Huling ibabahagi ko ang isang mahalagang maliit na tip na natutunan ko sa klase: Kapag hinihigpitan ang tela o nagbubuhol, kailangan mong gumamit ng mas maraming puwersa kaysa sa inaasahan mo, upang maging maganda ang tapos na produkto.

instructor: Ang instructor ko ay napakabait at kaibig-ibig. Ipinaliwanag niya ang kasaysayan ng pagbabalot ng Botagi at ang tradisyon nito. Sa pangkalahatan, napakasaya kong kausapin siya. Nag-alok din siya na kumuha ng mga litrato sa panahon ng klase. Nag-alok din siya na ipakita sa akin ang ibang uri ng paggamit ng Botagi na hindi bahagi ng klase. Tunay na kabaitan niya 😊 experience: Nagkaroon ako ng napakagandang karanasan sa pag-aaral kung paano magbalot ng Botagi. Ito ay interesante at masarap sa pakiramdam na matuto ng isang bagay na magagawa ko para sa pamilya at mga kaibigan. equipment: Napakaganda ng iba't ibang kagamitan at kung gusto mo sa pagtatapos ng klase na bilhin ang kagamitan ng Botagi, maaari mo, nagbebenta sila at natutuwa akong bumili. location: Napakadaling hanapin ang lokasyon at maaari kang maglibang sa lugar. Isang napakagandang kapitbahayan.

Nagkaroon ako ng tunay na makabuluhang karanasan sa Studio Bojagi, isang lugar na puno ng kagandahan ng tradisyon ng Korea. Sumali ako sa isang klase sa pagbabalot ng bojagi na matagal ko nang gustong subukan. Nagsimula ang sesyon sa isang maikling pagpapakilala sa kasaysayan ng bojagi, na sinundan ng pag-aaral ng apat na iba't ibang pamamaraan ng pagbabalot na maaaring gamitin para sa mga regalo. Sa pagtatapos ng klase, nagawa kong iuwi ang piraso na ginawa ko. Ang mga telang ginamit namin ay lahat dinisenyo at ginawa mismo ng Studio Bojagi, at mabibili rin ang mga ito. Sa tingin ko ito ay isang napakagandang ideya, dahil maaari itong magamit muli nang maganda kapag nagbibigay ng mga regalo sa mga kaibigan at pamilya.

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 knowledagle 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!

Nagkaroon kami ng napakagandang oras sa studio ni Mi Jung, natutunan ang sining ng paggawa ng Bojagi. Sinalubong niya kami ng mga inumin at mga kawili-wiling cookies (hugis Hangeul) sa kanyang magandang pinalamuti na studio. Ito ay isang napakagandang karanasan sa pag-aaral at si Mi Jung ay napaka-engganyo at matiyaga. Pagkatapos ng klase, maaari kaming bumili ng karagdagang tela at mga norigae charm para sa mga Bojagi wrapping sa hinaharap. Lubos kong inirerekomenda ang klaseng ito sa sinumang gustong matuto nang higit pa tungkol sa kulturang Koreano at mga gawaing-kamay. Inaasahan ko ang mga susunod na biyahe at klase kasama niya.❤️

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.
