In reply to Patti Morrow. Hi, Patti. It was fun and interesting. The gold leaf is gorgeous on clothing. I think it would also be lovely on tablecloths/napkins.

That looks like fun! Wish I had known about this when I visited Bukchon Hanok Village a few months ago!

Learning a craft in a foreign country is always interesting. I had a similar experience at the SeoulIncheon airport during a layover. At a craft center there I was given the materials and instruction to paint a key chain. Mine was pitful but it passed the time.

In reply to Anita @ No Particular Place To Go. Hi, Anita. I would like to have had a sheet giving the meaning of each stamp. That would be a much appreciated added touch.

In reply to Donna Janke. Hi, Donna. I was a little heavy on the tapping and rubbing. It is an acquired touch.

Looks like a fun workshop and I like that you get a memento to remember your time there. I’d love to see all the stamps which look very detailed and learn what each represents.

A Kum Baek Yeon workshop would be such an interesting and fun thing to do. I’m not sure I’d have a light enough touch for the tapping and rubbing of the gold leaf. The results from your workshop are beautiful.

In reply to Rhonda Albom. Hi, Rhonda. I was quite amazed at how the gold leaf takes the shape of the pattern simply by tapping and rubbing. Making bone necklaces would be fun. You can never go wrong with a cooking class.

In reply to Rachel Heller. Hi, Rachel. This is a private workshop just around the corner from the Traditional Arts Experience Center. (That's where I think you painted your t-shirt).
