Take a Traditional Korean Pottery class in Itaewon

Overview

The head of the workshop, Chulsoo Kim, created a special pot design to give international tourists an opportunity to learn and experience traditional Korean food culture.

This traditional Korean pottery design is for interior decorating and aromatherapy. This pottery piece uses the shape of a traditional Korean fireplace- you can put a small candle inside the pot and add some aroma oil and water to the cauldron-shaped lid to make an aroma lamp.

What will you get to experience?

• Receive a pottery gift made by the previous visitor while passing on your own pottery to the next visitor who will be attending the class.
• The initial process of making the pottery will be done by you, however, the next step of finalizing the pottery will be Chulsoo’s job. Coloring, glazing, and baking will require at least 3 days to complete. However, tourists generally don’t stay in Seoul for that long that is how Chulsoo came up with the idea of passing on the handmade pottery to the next visitor.
• Leave a message for future visitors. After making your pot, write a message for the next visitor on the bottom of your pot. You can also take a Polaroid picture with the pot you made and attach it to your pot so that the next visitor can recognize you (you can also leave your Instagram ID if you want to). Through this practice, travelers visiting the workshop can become friends who are linked by pottery.
