Experience the Shimmer: 1,000 Years of Korean Art

Step into the world of Najeon-chilgi, a beautiful Korean art that uses the natural, glowing beauty of sea shells. Loved for over 1,000 years, this craft was once a luxury reserved only for kings and queens.

Crafting Your Personal Blessing

In this relaxed 2-hour session, you will design your own high-quality keychain featuring the character ‘Bok’ (복). In Korean culture, this character represents more than just "luck".

It symbolizes a life that is peaceful, happy, and full of good things.

Nature’s Gift and Timeless Stories

We will use real mother-of-pearl (Jagae) to capture a "light that never changes." You will also hear the stories of traditional Korean 'lucky pouches' (Bokjumeoni) and how we carry our wishes in modern life. This class is perfect for a mindful creative break or for making a unique gift for someone special.

No experience is needed. We will guide you through every step!
