Hello, I'm Jeongju Kim.
Join me for an immersive experience in traditional Korean bookbinding, where you'll craft your own personalized notebook using time-honored techniques.
Together, we'll begin the meditative process of carefully folding specially selected papers. You'll choose your preferred thread color, then learn to fold and arrange 15 sheets between two elegant covers. I'll guide you through the traditional Korean binding technique, showing you how to make precise holes and secure your book with needle and thread.
The experience becomes even more personal as you learn to write your name in Korean characters. After practicing your Korean name with a brush, you'll create a beautiful title piece to adorn the cover of your handmade notebook.
Your finished creation will be perfect for documenting your Seoul adventures—a place to store tickets, write travel memories, or sketch scenes from your journey.

Please be advised that only those with reservations can attend the workshop.
