Description
Korean Name Seal Workshop: Create Your Personalized Seal(Dojang)
Discover one of Korea's most unique cultural traditions by creating your very own personalized Korean name seal.
Unlike many countries where signatures are used for important documents, Koreans have traditionally used personal seals, known as Dojang (도장), to represent their identity. Even today, seals are commonly used for official documents, contracts, banking, and other important matters.
In this hands-on cultural workshop, you'll create a one-of-a-kind seal that connects your name to Korean language, history, and tradition.

Your Experience
Step 1: Discover Your Korean Name
Before creating your seal, you'll learn your name in Korean in two different ways:
1. Pronunciation Name: How your name is naturally written and pronounced in Korean.
2. Meaning Name: A Korean name inspired by the meaning behind your original name.
Our English-speaking hosts will guide you through the meaning, pronunciation, and writing of your Korean names while teaching you a little Korean language along the way.
Step 2: Choose Your Design
Once you've discovered your Korean name, you'll select the style of seal you'd like to create.
Choose from over 30 beautiful seal designs, ranging from traditional Korean aesthetics to modern artistic styles.
You'll also select your preferred traditional Korean seal pouch to complete your personalized keepsake.
✍️ Step 3: Practice Writing Your Korean Name
Before engraving your seal, you'll spend time practicing how to write your Korean name.
Using traditional writing materials, you'll learn the proper stroke order and writing style while becoming familiar with your chosen Korean name.
This is often one of the most fun and memorable parts of the experience.
Step 4: Engrave Your Own Seal
Now it's time to bring your Korean identity to life.
Working alongside a professional seal artisan, you'll carefully engrave your chosen Korean name onto your seal yourself.
The artisan will guide you throughout the process, helping whenever needed and providing the final professional finishing touches to ensure your seal is both beautiful and functional.
Watch your Korean name transform into a traditional Korean seal while learning about the craftsmanship behind this centuries-old tradition.
