Busan: Mother-of-Pearl Craft Class with Tea Ceremony_Say It Gil Busan

Say It Gil Busan Anchor Store is a multi-cultural space connecting Busan's alleys, people, and art. We introduce the most special experience here: the “Making Mother-of-Pearl Lacquerware Goods” one-day class.

1. A Special Collaboration with Master Park Joong-gon

Beyond a simple experience, this class conveys the value of authenticity. Through technical advice and collaboration with Director Park Joong-gon, who has dedicated his life to mother-of-pearl lacquerware, you will learn how to capture the radiant glow of traditional mother-of-pearl on modern accessories. Create a one-of-a-kind piece just for you using materials touched by the artisan's breath.

2. The Most Authentic Korean Gift for Travelers

Instead of standardized souvenirs, mother-of-pearl goods that you design and create yourself are a way to record the most radiant moments of your trip to Busan. Embroider the beauty of Korea onto practical items for everyday use, such as keyrings, phone grips, and trays. Even if you lack dexterity, anyone can take home high-quality results through a curriculum guided by the master. 3. A Time for Immersion in the City Center

Take a moment to pause amidst your busy travel schedule and experience "mother-of-pearl gazing"—a deeper experience than "water gazing"—as you attach pieces of mother-of-pearl one by one. We offer domestic customers a special hobby to enjoy in their daily lives, and provide international customers with an unforgettable time to experience the beauty of traditional Korean crafts.

Mother-of-pearl lacquerware, known as the “Light of a Thousand Years,” derives its radiant glow from patience and devotion.

Prepared in collaboration with Master Craftsman Park Joong-gon, this class is not merely about crafting; it is a time to share the values of Busan's sea and tradition.

Add sparkling inspiration to your daily life at Say It Gil Busan.

We await you with materials and hearts prepared with the utmost sincerity."
