Gamkkot Bokjumeoni Night Workshop: Seoul Craft Museum Booking Guide for May and June 2026

Seoul Craft Museum’s gamkkot bokjumeoni night workshop is a free evening craft program where participants make a traditional pouch shaped like a persimmon flower using hanbok fabric. For anyone searching for a Bokjumeoni workshop in Seoul, the key public dates still ahead after May 4, 2026 are Friday, May 29 and Friday, June 26, with registration for those two rounds scheduled to open at 14:00 on May 22, 2026.¹

The workshop is part of Seoul’s evening culture programming and is held at Seoul Craft Museum, Exhibition Building 3, first-floor education room. The confirmed operating time is 18:00 to 19:30, the stated capacity is 30 participants per session, and participation is free.²

Gamkkot Bokjumeoni Night Workshop Schedule

The public night workshop was announced as a monthly program running from March through June 2026 on the last Friday of each month. The March 27 and April 24 sessions have already passed, so readers planning from May 4, 2026 should focus on the remaining May 29 and June 26 sessions.²¹

The May program notice separately confirms the May 29, 2026 session at 18:00 to 19:30 in the first-floor education room of Exhibition Building 3 at Seoul Craft Museum. It describes the session content as viewing artifacts such as an embroidered duru-jumeoni and then making a gamkkot bokjumeoni through stitching.³

Booking is handled through Seoul Public Service Reservation, and the application method is online, first come, first served. The reservation notice lists the May 29 and June 26 rounds and states that registration for the May and June sessions opens at 14:00 on May 22, 2026.¹ Because each session has a 30-person capacity, the practical step is to check the reservation page before the opening time and prepare to apply when the window begins.

The available source material does not state a separate phone booking route, refund rule, or waiting-list procedure for this public night workshop. The clearest confirmed booking path is therefore the online reservation listing.

Who Can Join and What Participants Make

The workshop is open to adults, and children from fifth grade of elementary school and above may participate when accompanied by a guardian.¹ Seoul Culture Portal also identifies the activity as a free education and hands-on experience event and notes that the child participation limit is connected to the use of needles.⁴

Participants make a traditional bokjumeoni in the shape of a gamkkot, or persimmon flower, using high-quality hanbok fabric. The activity is described as a self-guided creative craft experience rather than an instructor-led program, so it should be understood as hands-on making rather than a lecture or formal step-by-step sewing class.⁴

That distinction is useful for planning. The sources do not say beginners are excluded, but they also do not present the session as a beginner sewing course. Since the activity involves stitching, participants should expect direct work with fabric, thread, and needles.

There is also a separate Seoul Craft Museum hands-on craft program for foreign student groups, posted through Hansung University, that includes gamkkot bokjumeoni making as its first content. That group program runs on first and third Wednesdays from March to December 2026 and is separate from the public last-Friday evening workshop described above.⁵

Venue, Arrival, and Practical Notes

The venue for the public night workshop is Seoul Craft Museum, Exhibition Building 3, first-floor education room. Multiple listings give the same time, 18:00 to 19:30, and identify the program as free.²⁶

One arrival detail is especially important because this is an evening session: the Seoul’s Night program listing includes a caution about entering in advance because entrances close after 18:00.⁶ Participants should plan to arrive before the start time rather than treating 18:00 as a flexible arrival window.

The workshop content is tied to traditional craft materials and forms, but the planning checklist is straightforward: confirm the desired date, check the online reservation page for the May 22 opening, apply quickly because places are limited, and arrive early enough to enter before the evening entrance restriction takes effect.
