Write my name in Korean with calligraphy
🖌️ **Your Name in Hangeul! Make a Special Calligraphy Hanging Scroll** How about creating your own special souvenir during your trip to Korea? Hangeul (the Korean alphabet) is Korea's unique writing system. It is beautiful on its own, but writing it with a brush turns it into an even more wonderful work of art. In this class, you will write your name or a phrase you like in Hangeul with your own hands, place it on a traditional jokja (hanging scroll), and create a one-of-a-kind piece! 🌸 **How the class unfolds** **1. Practicing brush calligraphy** First, learn how to hold a brush using traditional Korean brushes and ink. Get familiar with the brush by drawing various lines and writing simple letters. It might feel a bit unfamiliar at first, but following along slowly will let you enjoy the fun of brush calligraphy! **2. Choosing your own Hangeul phrase** Now, shall we decide what words to write on the scroll? You can write your name in Hangeul, or choose a favorite word or a special phrase. You can also explore Korean expressions with positive meanings, like sarang (love), haengbok (happiness), or haeng-un (good fortune). **3. Making your own calligraphy piece** Based on what you practiced, nicely write your name or chosen phrase. The charm of calligraphy is that even the same letters feel completely different depending on who writes them! **4. Completing it on a traditional hanging scroll** Complete your piece by mounting your writing onto a traditional jokja. You can take the finished scroll home to hang on your wall or use it as home decor. ✨ **It's completely fine even if you don't know Hangeul or have great handwriting!** I will guide you step by step so that even first-timers can easily take part. All necessary materials are prepared. This isn't just a class about writing Hangeul; it is a special time to experience traditional Korean culture firsthand and create your very own work of art. Make your own scroll to cherish your joyful memories of Korea for a long time! Let's enjoy brush calligraphy together! 😊

Meet your buddy
Hello! I am Damdamhi, a calligraphy artist who loves traditional Korean culture and Hangeul (the Korean alphabet). 😊 For a long time, I have been deeply captivated by the charm of traditional Korean arts while writing with brushes and painting. Hangeul is especially captivating because the letter shapes themselves are beautiful, and expressing them with a brush allows you to capture your own personality and emotions. I opened this class because I wanted to share the beauty of Hangeul with international friends visiting Korea. In this class, you will write your name or a phrase you like in Hangeul with your own hands, and complete it on a traditional jokja (hanging scroll). It is totally okay even if you don't know Hangeul at all or have never held a brush before! I will be by your side to teach and help you every step of the way. Taking home a scroll you made during your trip to Korea and hanging it up will surely bring back pleasant memories of Korea every time you see it. Let's spend a special time chatting, laughing, and writing brush calligraphy together. See you in Korea! 😊
