Description
Start your day in Seoul with a visit to the famous Dongdaemun Accessory Market, where you’ll explore endless rows of colorful beads, charms, and jewelry materials. Your host will help you find unique pieces to use for your own necklace. After shopping, we’ll head to a beautiful hanok (traditional Korean house) — a peaceful escape from the busy city streets. Hanoks are rare to experience in modern Seoul, so it’s a great chance to feel the charm of Korean history and architecture. Once we arrive, enjoy a short snack and tea time, and relax before the creative part begins! During the necklace-making class (about 1 to 1.5 hours), you’ll design and create your own custom beaded necklace using the materials you selected. Your friendly host will guide you step by step, so no experience is needed — just bring your creativity!
