Unique and fun experience — 10/10!

My friends and I decided to book this experience as part of our girl’s trip, and had so much fun while doing it! The instructor is very nice and guides you through each step of the book binding process seamlessly. We enjoyed learning about the traditional way to bind books and using multiple materials to create them. I highly, highly recommend to anyone looking to have a unique, fun experience while in seoul!
