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!

Learning about Korean culture with Calligraphy - I enjoyed the calligraphy experience with Jeonju very much! It was something new I had never done before,so I also found it challenging too. However, Jeonju gave me all the support and encouragement I needed to help me complete the calligraphy scroll with the beautiful message “An adventurous life.” How cool is that? It is very interesting to take a beginner class in Korean calligraphy and learn about it. What I liked about this class was that she presented options for the type of calligraphy and message I could choose to write on the scroll. I chose the traditional style. Jeonju had me practice the message enough with the brush and ink before I committed to the final scroll writing. The scroll she presented me at the end is so beautiful! Thank you Jeonju for a unique experience and for teaching something about Korean calligraphy and culture!

Night of Calligraphy - It was a fun and informative class, was great learning more about Hangul and how it was created and the history behind it, as well as the different writing styles and how it has changed. We had a great time and Helen was so kind and a brilliant teacher Would highly recommend for anyone!

Create a Wonderful Lifetime Memory - One of the highlights of my vacation in Seoul was taking this class. I enjoyed every second of the class and felt relaxed and creative. The ambiance is perfect and I learned so much in during my time in the class. It was a bit magical and creating my own scroll to bring home is something I cherish quite a bit. I highly recommend this activity to individuals (solo traveler), groups, families and friends.

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.
