Make Your Own Hanji Craft
in a Bukchon Hanok Studio

This 1 to 3 hour class takes place in a hanok-style studio in the heart of Bukchon Hanok Village, where you make a craft from hanji, traditional Korean paper. A master with more than 14 years of experience teaches you step by step how to layer hanji over a wooden or paper mold. All materials and tools are provided, and you take your finished craft home. Instructors speak Korean and English.

Step into the Studio and Learn the History of Hanji

Enter the hanok-style studio among the historic alleys of Bukchon for a warm welcome and an introduction to the history of hanji. Then, depending on your option, choose the craft you will make on site.

Make a Craft That Suits Your Level

Beginners make a hanji magnet or keyring, and intermediate guests make a traditional soban tray. Advanced guests can try hanji painting, jumchi craft, or making a lamp or octagonal tray. Every step is guided by the master.

Enjoy Tea and Snacks
While You Finish Your Craft
