Hello, I'm Jeongju
Discover the beauty of Korean calligraphy by creating your own scroll in Insadong. In this experience, you will choose a meaningful Korean word or phrase and learn how to write it with traditional brushes and ink.
This workshop is designed for those who want more than a souvenir — it is a calm, thoughtful experience guided by a Korean calligraphy artist, with time to understand the meaning behind each stroke.
Classes are kept small for personal attention, and each scroll is handwritten and handmade during the session.
Because of the focused nature of the experience, sessions are offered with limited availability and are only available in Insadong.

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.

Unresolved Refund and Data Protection Failure
janetpJ7827OS,Jan 8, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
1.00In August 2024, Booking.com confirmed to me in writing that a full refund would be issued for misadvertised accommodation, funded 50/50 by Booking.com and the property. That refund has not been paid. After repeated unanswered communications, I submitted a Subject Access Request (SAR) in November 2024 under the UK GDPR. I followed up in writing and by phone. I have received no written acknowledgement, no confirmation of deadlines, and no substantive response. This review is to document an unresolved refund and a failure to meet basic data protection obligations. I invite Booking.com to respond publicly and confirm when this matter will finally be resolved. JParker
