Meet at the studio near Hongik Univ. Station Exit 7

The studio is on the 3rd floor, about 100 m from Hongik Univ. Station Exit 7. It is in the middle of Hongdae, one of Seoul's liveliest areas for art, music, and cafe culture, so it is easy to reach. It is a small-group experience focused on creativity, Korean traditional culture, and personal exchange with the artist.

Choose what you want to make

Choose your piece from a wide range of items, including key rings, bookmarks, smart tok grips, coasters, magnets, hand mirrors, wine openers, mini trays, and jewelry boxes. The master shows you how, and you decorate your own design with pieces of natural mother-of-pearl to finish your work.

Take your finished piece home the same day

Most classes take about 1 hour. You can take your finished piece home that day as a keepsake of your trip to Seoul. Upgrading to premium items may cost extra.
