This small-group class in a studio in Jeonpo-dong, Busan, teaches you najeon, the traditional Korean craft of mother-of-pearl inlay. Guided by a local artisan, you design and make your own souvenir by attaching iridescent pieces of natural mother-of-pearl. Choose a keyring or a Korean spoon and chopstick set as your basic item, or upgrade on site to a compact mirror or traditional fan for an extra fee. Step-by-step instructions make it easy for first-timers to join comfortably.

Learn traditional Korean mother-of-pearl craft
with a local artisan

When you arrive at the studio, the instructor introduces najeon (mother-of-pearl craft) and shows you step by step how to handle the natural shell pieces. The class is held in a small group of up to 8 people, and the instructor guides you in Korean and English with visual materials.

Decorate a keyring or spoon and chopstick set

Choose either a keyring or a spoon and chopstick set as your basic item. Pick the shapes and colors of the shimmering shell pieces and attach them in your own design to complete your piece. If you would like to make a compact mirror or traditional fan instead, you can upgrade on site for an extra fee.

Take home your piece, coated and gift-wrapped

Your finished piece receives a protective coating and gift wrapping. You can take it home as a handmade souvenir of your trip to Busan. The class ends at the studio.
