Loved the indigo color! It was a relaxing and creative activity. I wrote my name in Korean hangul with a cute heart. Make sure to be careful and put on enough wax because my fell off a bit when doing the dipping dye. I recommend this to others who want to create their very own design! Get inspired when walking around the traditional hanok area ~

This was a great way to start my Saturday morning! The location was easy to find with Naver Maps, and we had a beautiful walk through the Bukchon Hanok Village! The class itself was easy to follow and very enjoyable. We got to write our name in Korean, and the dying process was almost meditative! It's awesome that the final product is useful and practical as well. Overall, it was a great experience!

It was really wonderful to be able to have such a unique experience in Korea. The neighborhood of Bukchon Hanok village is beautiful and it was so lovely to get to design my own personalized tote in a traditional Korean house. I think it is important to note that there is some after care work required so just be aware of that before heading in. Other than that it was a fun and relaxing way to spend my morning. Would recommend!

I really enjoyed the experience of dyeing bags using Korean traditional dyeing method. I lost track of time while participating in the program. It was so interesting and fun. If I have a chance, I wish to participate in the program again to try making other items they have. I definitely had a great time. Thanks.

I saw the maple leaves on the roadside and it was fabulous. I walked to the site along the beautiful road ~ The experience program was so interesting and was not boring at all. I'm so glad that my bag is beautifully dyed ~ ♡ Hope I can experience another!

While difficult to find the place, I had a pleasant time looking at the beautiful traditional Korean houses on my way there. The duration of the program took longer than anticipated due to the sudden rain. However, the instructor was kind enough to lead the class well to the end. I wish I can revisit and have another experience.
