When you watch TV, you can see celebrities going out for different experiences. One of the typical experiences is visiting workshops to create their own pottery, perfume, rings, or even glasses where they can relax during their busy schedule. Making something on your own with your two hands is really fulfilling. Here are some workshops that celebrities have visited in their own time.
My own special pottery – Ceradu Pottery Workshop
Historically, Korea had beautiful pottery like Goryeo celadon and Joseon white porcelain. Wouldn’t it be nice to make your own pottery while you’re in Korea? There’s a pottery workshop a lot of celebrities often go to in Gangnam. K-Pop fans would probably love this place. You can make the best souvenir ever in a pottery workshop where your favorite K-Pop stars like Hyeri and Cha Eun-woo visited.

You can always buy a ring for yourself, friendship rings, or couple rings with your special someone, but try and have the special experience of making your own in a workshop. It will become an implacable item that can always remind you of the memory whenever you look at the ring. Even lots of celebrities often visit a workshop to create their own rings with their own engravings and designs. I recommend this special experience that you can enjoy warm inside even in a cold winter.

Glasses Workshop from KBS Analog Life: Handmade, Design Shower
There’s a KBS educational program where the actor Yoo Hae-jin makes different handmade products called ‘Analog Life: Handmade.’ In this program, he made glasses in a workshop called Design Shower. It is where glasses designer Kim Jong-pil creates and sells his designs. It’s fun to look at the glasses full of Kim Jong-pil’s ideas. Since they’re all created with hands, all glasses look different. You can get one of a kind glasses here. If you want to purchase glasses that show your own identity, head to Design Shower.
