Authentic and Mindful Experience - Our family group of 3 enjoyed a wonderful evening learning a little bit about Korean calligraphy and its history as well as how to write our names and a short phrase of our choosing to transcribe onto a decorative scroll . A lovely souvenir to take home. Helen is a wonderful instructor and very passionate about her craft. Would highly recommend this activity.

Very authentic and memorable experience - It was a pleasure being taught Korean calligraphy by Jeongju. She is a very kind and patient teacher who really wants you to understand the history of the language. I’m very fortunate to have come across her workshop and would strongly recommend it to anyone visiting.

I recommend this activity just to meet JEONGJU KIM, a very nice person ! - Great experience! I was delighted to practice this type of artistic activity! JEONGJU KIM is a superb person, she is kind, warm, understanding and attentive! She even allowed me to come back the next day to rewrite the parchment that I lost in the metro! I recommend this activity just to meet JEONGJU KIM!

Relaxing & Rewarding Calligraphy - This calligraphy class with Helen is a wonderful way to spend a couple hours in Seoul. You learn about the South Korean language and its design in a chill studio. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I was able to make a nice looking scroll. This experience fits in perfectly before a nice night out in Seoul.
