Suwon: Korean Soap-Making Workshop with 6 Take-Home Soaps｜South Korea

Begin your experience with a welcome tea service and an introduction to the history and cultural significance of each theme. Choose one of three signature themes: Hanbok, Suwon Fortress, or Hangeul (the Korean alphabet), and create your own beautifully designed themed soap to take home.

Follow step-by-step instructions from a professional instructor, so beginners can join with confidence. Spend about 1 hour making your chosen soap. You will make a total of 6 soaps with each option.

Set 1 (30 min): Color-mixing and making 2 themed soaps (your selected design) + 1 full moon soap.

Set 2 (30 min): Detail work with the same composition or a mixed combination (e.g., gold leaf, stamping, etc.).

While it sets, learn a traditional Korean bojagi knot-tying technique for around 20 minutes and carefully wrap your creation as a thoughtful gift.

Finally, take photos at the photo zone and share reflections from the experience. Create a one-of-a-kind soap inspired by Korean history and tradition and experience Korea’s aesthetic sensibility firsthand.
