Design Your Own Ceramic Cup at Cerdu Studio in Gangnam

Looking for a creative way to experience Seoul beyond the usual sightseeing spots? Unleash your creativity and design your own ceramic cup in this relaxing, one-hour workshop at Cerdu Studio in Gangnam.

Whether you love art, enjoy discovering local crafts, or simply want a unique souvenir from Korea, this hands-on experience is the perfect opportunity to create something that’s truly yours.

Discover Korean ceramics through a short introduction to traditional styles and design ideas, then let your imagination take over. From minimalist patterns to colourful illustrations and playful designs, you’ll have the freedom to transform an everyday cup into a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects your personality.

With guidance from your instructor, learn how to use the painting materials, choose your colours, and bring your ideas to life on a pre-fired ceramic cup. No previous artistic experience is needed — the workshop is beginner-friendly, and your instructor will be there to offer tips and support throughout the process.

Unlike traditional pottery workshops that require additional drying and kiln-firing time, this experience uses quick-drying paint, so you can finish your design and take your cup home on the same day. Once your artwork is complete, your cup will be carefully packaged to help protect it on the journey home.

Perfect for solo travellers, couples, friends, and families with children, this workshop offers a fun, relaxing break from exploring the city. Enjoy some creative time in Gangnam, discover the joy of making something by hand, and leave with a practical keepsake to remember your time in Seoul.
