Uniquely Korean - Had an incredible time doing something uniquely Korean in Jeongju's studio. We learned to carve a stone stamp (seal). If you wanted your name converted to Hangul (Korean characters), she was able to show you how to do it. The tea and cookie was a nice little snack. We got a beautiful post card in which she translated any quote into Korean to display our completed seal. We also received beautiful boxes to store them in. Recommend for anyone creative or looking to do something unique during their trip to Seoul.

Great take home souvenir and a fun experience - This was an amazing experience and one we will do again when we come back. Invading area is easy to get to by bus or subway. The building was easy to find and once you climbed the stairs there was a large studio with comfortable chairs and large tables to sit at. Everything was provided that we needed, including tea and cookies. The instructor and assistant were helpful having us start with elementary carving strokes to deeper cuts into the stone. They also helped with full design assistance for non artisans. We were sat in a group with other English speakers and it was fun to meet new people. She had great communication when we had questions before we arrived and answered many questions during our experience.

Beautiful, Hands-On Korean Stone Seal Experience - This Korean stone seal class was such a memorable and unique experience. Our instructor was excellent – they walked us through the history and cultural significance of stone seals and clearly had so much expertise in the craft. We each had the option to get our names written in Korean and choose between two carving styles, which made the activity feel really personal. The carving process was guided, approachable, and surprisingly easy to complete, even for beginners. At the end, we packaged our finished seals in a small decorative box to take home, which made it feel even more special. Overall, this was a great hands-on crafting activity and a meaningful way to learn about Korean culture. I’d definitely recommend this class to others!
