The Incheon International Airport Traditional Culture Workshops are exhibition areas where traditional Korean culture experience programs have been prepared for people awaiting flights departing for the Americas, Europe, Asia, and other parts of the world, or for travelers waiting for connecting flights. Currently, there are two programs available in the exhibition areas, made available for all travelers using the third floor departure area.
Participants will be able to learn how to make jewelry boxes out of traditional hanji (traditional Korean paper) or make cell phone straps with traditional sewing techniques that were used to make clothing and accessories. Even if you lack the skilled hands needed for crafts, anyone can follow the simple instructions provided in English, Japanese, and Chinese, and have fun at the workshops. Aside from these programs, there are special experiences that are prepared for visitors every 3 to 4 months, such as drawing traditional patterns, coloring traditional Korean fans, and making small purses by using traditional knotting techniques.
