🏡 Venue & Studio Information
If you would prefer to host the class at your own home or another private space rather than at the venue, please feel free to get in touch anytime to discuss the arrangements! 😊
🎁 What You'll Take Home
Create two personalised mother-of-pearl craft pieces that combine traditional Korean beauty with your own creativity. They make wonderful keepsakes or thoughtful handmade gifts for someone special.
Please note that the finishing coat requires approximately 24 hours to dry. We recommend bringing a small plastic container with a secure lid and a bag to transport your creations safely.
The finishing material may remain slightly sticky while drying, so please take care when handling your pieces and consider bringing an apron.
If you have any allergies or sensitivities to finishing materials, please let us know in advance so we can discuss suitable precautions.
