Very nice workshop where you carve your own seal stamp. You also receive information on different types and what it is been used for. Very friendly teacher. Nice way to spend an afternoon and especially nice if you like to create your own stamp instead of ordering it from the shops nearby.
Such a fun and great experience. The small class size gave way for one on one help as needed. Would highly recommend to everyone!
An amazing cultural experience. Jeongju interwove some Korean history, Korean business culture and art all into a class about carving. We left with a precious souvenir and a personal note from Jeongju that will be treasured as much as the experience was!
The course instructor is kind and approachable. She really helped me with making the stamp. Great experience.
Carving a stone seal under the guidance of Jeongju is also well-suited for beginners. A beautiful experience and a great souvenir :-)
This was a really unique experience to try in Seoul. Thank you Jeongju!
My group of five had a great experience at this workshop! We had a young teenager, two older teenagers, and two adults and we all successfully managed to make our own stone seals. The brief history and explanations were interesting, and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. Everything was just as described. Very professional and worth the price!
History experience cool take home
