Taking part in traditional Korean arts and craft activities is a great way to get a deeper insight of Korea’s cultural values. You can participate in one-day classes at craft workshops found across the country, including places such as Insa-dong and Bukchon Hanok Village where Korea’s traditions live on in Seoul. These venues offer a variety of programs to choose from, ranging from learning to make accessories using the Korean knotting method and traditional Korean paper, hanji, to making your own personal ceramic tea cup. Visitors can simply pick a craft-making class of their interest for a one-of-a-kind souvenir or a memorable keepsake that captures the essence of traditional beauty of Korea.
