Great souvenir and class!!! - Jeonju is a great teacher and very, very patient with everyone who attended. She was personable and explained everything in great detail. This is a wonderful way to make a souvenir and learn a little about Korean culture. Just be aware that this activity is located in a street that is not accessible by car and up three flights of narrow stairs (no elevator).

Fun class! Must do experience! - Helen helped me write my name in Hangul. She taught me how to carve my name for the stone seal! I absolutely loved the result! It was sooo much fun and I’m super proud of what I made! Highly recommend this activity, especially if you’re in the Insadong area!

The instructor/craftswoman was very skilled and explained everything clearly, and we got to practice each step of the process so the end product was really quite nice :-) it’s a small, casual class located in my favorite shopping district in Seoul, highly recommend it if you enjoy unique crafts

Great Family Experience - Such a wonderful family experience! Helen was welcoming of our 12 and 10 year old children and we all enjoyed the process from start to finish.
