At the Seoul Museum of Craft Art's winter 2026 'Hands-on Craft Workshop,' participants create a metal-foil ornament inspired by patterns in the museum collection. This free, self-guided activity is designed for organized groups of foreign visitors—roughly 30 people—such as language-school or global-center groups, not individual tourists. There is no instructor-led class; Korean and English instruction sheets are available and staff provide assistance. The three sessions open to these groups are Wednesdays November 18, December 2 and December 16 from 14:00 to 15:30. November 4 is reserved for a separate exchange with a French partner school and should not be treated as a general registration date. Online first-come booking opens October 21 at 13:00 via Seoul Public Reservation; staff confirm the institution and group size before finalizing. Repeat participation in the winter season is not permitted. The workshop is in Exhibition Building 3, Floor 1, at 4 Yulgok-ro 3-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, around 60 metres from Anguk Station Exit 1 on Line 3. There is no public visitor car park. Call 02-6450-7071. The official booking notice also treats enrollment as consent to use photographs and video recorded during the program for the museum website, social media and promotional publications; group leaders should inform participants beforehand.
