Hello, I'm Jeongju

Welcome to my calligraphy workshop, where you'll discover more than just beautiful writing—you'll experience the meditative joy of traditional Korean brush calligraphy. This peaceful activity offers a chance to slow down, relax your mind, and immerse yourself in Korean culture.

I'll guide you through the process, introducing you to traditional calligraphy materials and teaching you mindful brush techniques. You'll start with practice sessions focusing on basic strokes and Hangul characters. Then, you'll practice your names in 2 versions in writing. Next you can practice your own personalized scroll with a meaningful message. At last you are going to create your your own personalized scroll in Hangul. To add an authentic touch, you can choose to embellish your work with a traditional stamp that I'll provide.

When you return home, your handcrafted Hangul calligraphy scroll will serve as a unique reminder of your Seoul experience.

More than a souvenir, a Seoul story.

I had the best time practicing Hangul with Jeongju! She was sweet and her passion for what she does was contagious. The studio was so cozy and it was great being able to bring home my own scroll with my own writing in Hangul. I recommend this to everyone. Thank you!
Great, unique experience!

This class was so fun! It was very interesting to learn about the history of Hangul, and the teacher was very kind. You get to practice writing characters, your name, and a phrase of your choice. Easy to follow along in English! I highly recommend.

We enjoyed being taught how to write calligraphy! She was a wonderful teaching with many years of experience. She was also very knowledgeable about writing styles. When we were in Korea, there was a record-breaking heat wave, so this was a perfect indoor activity! Also it was priced really well!
