🖼️Create your one and only "My Silla Fan" with a Korean folk painting (Minhwa) artist
- At the elegant, dignified traditional hanok “Gallery Jin Hanok” located in the heart of Gyeongju, enjoy painting minhwa inspired by Silla culture to your heart’s content!
- On a traditional Korean fan called a “Hapjukseon,” well known for its patterns that symbolize Gyeongju, you can paint Silla era motifs yourself to complete a one and only souvenir of your own.
- Minhwa is a free style of painting that is not bound by traditional techniques or formal brushwork, so even beginners holding a brush for the first time can paint comfortably in their own style.
- With kind, detailed one on one guidance from a minhwa artist, anyone of any age can create a highly finished piece, which makes this experience even more special.
- While you paint, you can also enjoy viewing the artist’s works and experience up close the distinctive, refined beauty and atmosphere unique to Eastern minhwa.
- A traditional culture experience to enjoy calmly in a refined Gyeongju hanok where 1,000 years of history and culture still breathe, as you gaze out beyond the tiled roof. After the experience, stroll through Gyeongju’s quiet alleyways and take in the city’s charm as well.
