HOST A KOREAN FOLK ART WORKSHOP

A Unique Korean Folk Art Experience for Your Community

Bring your community together through a hands-on Korean Folk Art (Minhwa) workshop that combines creativity, cultural storytelling, and artistic discovery.

Led by artist, curator, and educator Stephanie S. Lee, these workshops have been presented at museums, libraries, schools, universities, corporations, and community organizations throughout the New York metropolitan area.

Every session begins with an engaging introduction to the history, symbolism, and cultural meaning behind each featured motif, followed by step-by-step painting instruction in a welcoming, beginner-friendly environment.

Workshop testimonial
★★★★★
“Thank you for the wonderful workshop Stephanie! We really enjoyed learning about the history of Minhwa before diving into the painting portion. Your step-by-step guidance and watercolor tips were helpful and made the experience both educational and enjoyable for everyone. And thanks again for quickly you sening the replacement kit for my colleague!”
— Thomas McCabe
★★★★★
“Our instructor was very responsive, and very accommodating. We scheduled about a week in advance, and she was very helpful in confirming and making sure we got our kits in time. We had a couple of hiccups, where some didn't have their paints and some didn't have the kit (due to USPS delays), but she did her best to give us a great lesson. We would definitely recommend this class, as it was something new and relaxing as well. Thank you!”
— Briana Soohoo
★★★★★
“The lesson was fun and very relaxing. Stephanie was very responsive to our many questions.”
