Seoul Bukchon Handmade Hanok Wind Chime Workshop - Weaving with Traditional Colors

Make your own hanok wind chime
at a Bukchon workshop

This is a 1-hour workshop at a hanok studio in Bukchon, Gahoe-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, where you make a handmade hanok wind chime. You learn about the traditional wind chimes that hang from hanok eaves, then make your own with an instructor who teaches in English and Korean.

Weave thread on a small frame

The part that hangs at the bottom of a wind chime and catches the wind to make sound is called the sorigi. It is usually a metal fish shape, but this textile studio uses a variety of textile techniques. By weaving thread on a small loom or frame, the colorful texture of the thread comes to life.

Decorate with traditional Korean colors

You choose the color of your wind chime from a range of traditional Korean colors. The design is inspired by hanok eaves, and the traditional colors make it a nice interior accent as well.

Take home the piece you made

Your finished wind chime can be a housewarming or birthday gift, or a small keepsake for yourself. Hang it by a window or balcony, at the entrance, or in a study, and it will sound a soft, gentle chime in the breeze.
