Being creative! - I had the best time practicing Hangul with Jeongju! She was sweet and her passion for what she does was contagious. The studio was so cozy and it was great being able to bring home my own scroll with my own writing in Hangul. I recommend this to everyone. Thank you!

Great, unique experience! - This class was so fun! It was very interesting to learn about the history of Hangul, and the teacher was very kind. You get to practice writing characters, your name, and a phrase of your choice. Easy to follow along in English! I highly recommend.

Great Activity for Bad Weather - We enjoyed being taught how to write calligraphy! She was a wonderful teaching with many years of experience. She was also very knowledgeable about writing styles. When we were in Korea, there was a record-breaking heat wave, so this was a perfect indoor activity! Also it was priced really well!

The perfect way to experience Korean craft! - It was amazing to have the opportunity to do my own Korean craft! Jeongju is a wonderful teacher; she is so patient and helpful. I learned a lot about traditional Hangul calligraphy, and loved the whole experience of creating my scroll. It is a very calming process, I could have stayed and practiced all day. I am so glad I booked the class! The location is also great; I was able to spend the rest of the day exploring Insadong and all the fun things there.

Fantastic Class! - Fantastic class experience! Our teacher was very kind, helpful, and knowledgable! While I spoke Korean, my mom and sister did not and she was able to help teach them the alphabet along with the history and art of calligraphy in English! Instructions and teaching were easy to follow and all of our questions were answered! We had a wonderful time practicing and then making our final product! Everyone was extremely satisfied with our final pieces and had a lovely time chatting and drinking tea with our teacher. I would highly recommend this to anyone traveling to Seoul!

Great calligraphy experience! - Very nice experience! Jeongju is a patience teacher that will start with some theory and the basics of the Hangul letters. Then you can practice with the letters, your name and a message. You end up with a creation of your own (scroll with message) as a remembrance.

Best Way to Learn About the Korean Alphabet - This was a perfect activity to engage with the Korean alphabet! Jeongu is a patient, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic teacher. The Korean alphabet is a unique writing system and a trip to Korea wouldn’t be complete without learning about it! The best part is getting to take home a beautiful scroll provided by Jeongju in which we wrote a message to live by! The studio was well equipped and the environment was calm and friendly. I definitely recommend this activity!

Hangul calligraphy - You will receive an email when you confirm your reservation I appreciate the speed of response. And the location is Insa-dong. It's so close to the station, I knew right away. There was no one else in Europe on that day besides me. There were two of you. I wanted to know how many seats there were. Hangul calligraphy Just touch. I had a certain typeface to write. There are explanations and stories. There was practice. The Japanese have experience with brushes, and the Europeans have no experience with brushes, so there's no point. I think it's a consideration, but when you're actually doing it, you're writing the underwriting with a pencil. And I thought, well, it's a shame that the teacher has to rework the letters that I write. append The room is also used by other teachers in lessons I wish you'd told me that in advance. Thank you very much.
