Overview

After retiring from banking, I discovered the arts of calligraphy and seal carving, which gradually transformed my life. My work has been recognised with prestigious awards at the Seoul Women's Craft Exhibition and the KT Corporate Competition.
For the past 18 years, I've been teaching calligraphy at a women's professional education institute supported by the Seoul Metropolitan Government. Since January 2018, I've had the privilege of introducing Hangul and Korean traditional culture to over 3,000 international visitors at my studio in Insadong. I also conduct traditional culture workshops for international corporations.
I published “The Strength of Calligraphy” in 2018 and “Hello World!” in 2024. This book is a collection of memories and experiences from seven years of becoming with wonderful guests from a stranger to a closer.

Please be advised that only those with reservations can attend the workshop.

Activity itinerary

Hello, I'm Jeongju Kim. Join me for an immersive experience in traditional Korean bookbinding, where you'll craft your own personalised notebook using time-honored techniques. Together, we'll begin the meditative process of carefully folding specially selected papers. You'll choose your preferred thread colour, then learn to fold and arrange 15 sheets between two elegant covers. I'll guide you through the traditional Korean binding technique, showing you how to make precise holes and secure your book with needle and thread. The experience becomes even more personal as you learn to write your name in Korean characters. After practising your Korean name with a brush, you'll create a beautiful title piece to adorn the cover of your handmade notebook. Your finished creation will be perfect for documenting your Seoul adventures—a place to store tickets, write travel memories, or sketch scenes from your journey. This handcrafted notebook, bound by you and personalised with your Korean name, will serve as a lasting memento of your time in Korea. It's more than just a notebook—it's a piece of Korean craft tradition that holds your personal storey.
