There are many ways that you can experience the spirit of Korean culture, and here is the most interesting first approach we warmly recommend, the Hanji Gongye (Traditional Korean Paper Craft Making). This is an exciting chance to learn some of the beautiful techniques involved in the art, not to mention experience crafting using the resilient yet flexible traditional Korean paper.
The class is open to everyone who is craving to learn about Korean culture in a fun way. Regardless of whether you're a beginner or a crafts enthusiast, have an original and refreshing experience today! So how does it work? It's simple! Visit KCO, then sign up to be a KCO member and enroll in the Hanji Gongye Class. All that's left to do is roll up your sleeves and begin. Seeing your object slowly takes life and to finally take it home is an enjoyable experience not to be missed.
The KCO is located near the central CBD (just across from Museum Station, 255 Elizabeth Sydney), so please visit our facilities and collect details on Hanji Gongye today.
