Experiencing Korean arts and crafts is an interesting and creative way to learn about Korean culture. Korea’s traditions live on in craft workshops in Insa-dong, Gahoe-dong, and Bukchon Hanok Village. These venues offer a variety of programs to choose from, ranging from making accessories with the Korean knotting method to making household items with traditional Korean paper, hanji. Simply pick a craft that interests you for a one-of-a-kind souvenir of your time in Korea.
