Meet your buddy
Hello! I am artist Damdamhi, and I love Korea's traditional folk painting, Minhwa, and calligraphy. 😊 For a long time, I have been practicing calligraphy and Minhwa, completely captivated by the charm of Korean traditional art. I started this class because I wanted to share this beautiful Korean culture that I love with more people. Eating delicious food and visiting wonderful places during a trip to Korea are great, but how about holding a Korean brush yourself and creating your own piece of art? In my class, you can write your name beautifully in Hangeul (the Korean alphabet), paint traditional Korean folk art, and share the fun stories behind it. It is completely fine if you are not good at painting or do not know Hangeul at all! I will be right by your side to help so that even first-timers can enjoy it easily and happily. I hope that through my class, you feel a little closer to Korean traditional culture and take away one more happy memory from Korea. Let's chat, laugh, paint together, and have a wonderful time! See you in Korea! 😊
