This roughly 90-minute cultural experience takes place at a workshop about a 3-minute walk from Myeongdong Station, where you create your own piece using najeon (mother-of-pearl), a traditional Korean craft. After a welcome drink and a short introduction to mother-of-pearl craft, you become the designer and make your own creation. Depending on your option, you can make mother-of-pearl accessories such as a norigae, keychain or binyeo hairpin, a mother-of-pearl frame or mirror, or mother-of-pearl chopsticks. You can take your finished piece home right away as a special souvenir of Seoul. The class is led by an instructor fluent in English and Japanese.
