In this small-group workshop in Hongdae, limited to just 4 guests, you’ll learn the folk beliefs and symbolism behind the lucky pollack before carving your own wooden fish by hand. No previous woodcarving experience is needed, and you’ll receive personal guidance throughout.
Finish your fish with Korean silk thread, traditionally tied around the body to hold onto good fortune, then add a small brass bell so it is ready to display at home.
Leave with a meaningful handmade souvenir and a Korean tradition many visitors never encounter.
