Namsangol Dasik Making Guide: How to Join the 2026 Traditional Sweets Program

Namsangol dasik making is part of the 2026 traditional experience program “Artist’s Time” at Namsangol Hanok Village. The sweets-focused session introduces visitors to hands-on Korean tea snacks, including three-colored dasik and rice-cake items, inside a traditional hanok setting.¹

The program runs within “2026 Namsangol Traditional Experience: Artist’s Time,” which is scheduled from April 3 to October 25, 2026. Because the current date is May 7, 2026, the program period is already underway, with an announced summer break for individual sessions in July and August.²

What the Namsangol Dasik Making Experience Includes

The core attraction of this Namsangol sweets experience is making traditional Korean refreshments by hand rather than only watching a demonstration. The official Namsangol Hanok Village program page lists the activity under “Dgwa Mandeulgi,” or sweets making, and identifies the experience as part of the 2026 traditional program running from April 3 to October 25.¹

For the dasik portion, participants make three-colored dasik, a traditional pressed tea confection. KTV’s report from the site describes the session as using natural ingredients to create the colors for the three-colored dasik. The same report says participants also experienced making strawberry glutinous rice cake and honey rice cake.³

Other program listings describe the sweets-making activity with slight variations in the rice-cake items. Seoul Culture Portal lists three-colored dasik, three-colored honey rice cake, and seasonal glutinous rice cake under the sweets-making program.⁴ Newsis reports that participants can make three-colored dasik and glutinous rice cake filled with seasonal ingredients.² Read together, the supported takeaway is that the session centers on dasik and traditional rice-cake snacks, with seasonal or session-specific components possible.

The activity is not presented as a general cooking class. It is part of a broader traditional culture program where visitors spend time in a hanok village environment and learn through making. A Namsangol Hanok Village representative described “Artist’s Time” as expanding the space into one where citizens “stay, make, and learn,” a phrase that fits the hands-on structure of the sweets session.⁵

Dates, Times, Place, and Who Can Join

The official program page gives the most useful visit details for planning. The sweets-making session is scheduled every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 10:00 to 16:00, with six time slots across the day. The listed duration is about 50 minutes.¹

The venue is Ogin-dong House inside Namsangol Hanok Village, according to the official Namsangol Hanok Village page. The Seoul Culture Portal event listing also places the wider “Artist’s Time” program in the traditional houses at Namsangol Hanok Village and notes that the operating day excludes the 12:00 to 13:00 lunch period.⁴

Age guidance is also clear: the official sweets-making page lists participation from age 6 and above.¹ That makes the experience relevant for families, but the available source material does not provide pricing, capacity, language support, cancellation rules, or accessibility details. Readers who need those specifics should check the booking page before choosing a time slot.

Booking is handled through Naver Reservation, as reported by KTV in its coverage of the on-site traditional experience program.³ Since the program runs on set days and uses time slots, it is practical to decide on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday visit first, then check the available reservation times rather than arriving without a plan.

There is one important calendar note. Newsis reports that individual-targeted experiences run Friday through Sunday, but pause during the July and August heat-wave period.² For visits in May, June, September, or October 2026, the published schedule is more directly useful. For July or August plans, do not assume the individual sweets-making session is available.

How to Plan a Smooth Visit

Start by treating the dasik session as a timed workshop. The activity lasts about 50 minutes, and the public schedule runs from 10:00 to 16:00 across six slots, so it is better suited to a half-day cultural visit than a full-day class.¹

Next, choose the right date window. The overall “Artist’s Time” program is listed from April 3 to October 25, 2026, but the individual Friday-to-Sunday operation and July-August break matter more for actual participation.² A visitor planning around Namsan or central Seoul can build the sweets-making activity into a weekend itinerary, provided the date falls within the active session period.

It also helps to understand what is fixed and what may vary. Three-colored dasik appears consistently across the sources as the defining element of the sweets-making experience. Rice-cake items are also repeatedly listed, including honey rice cake, strawberry glutinous rice cake, and seasonal glutinous rice cake, depending on the source.³ The safest expectation is a traditional sweets workshop centered on dasik with rice-cake making included or represented in the session.

The broader program includes other traditional activities beyond food. Newsis describes the 2026 program as reorganized into eight types, including new experiences, while BeyondPost lists sweets making alongside gyubang craft, bojagi craft, and accessory making.²⁵ That context is useful if you are comparing the sweets session with other Namsangol activities, but the dasik workshop remains the most relevant choice for visitors specifically searching for Namsangol sweets.

A short visitor reaction from KTV’s report captures the workshop’s hands-on appeal without overstating the experience: participant Kim Ha-kyung of Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, said, “It was amazing and fun to make it myself.”³ The quote is simple, but it reflects the main reason to choose this activity: the value is in shaping the traditional snacks directly.
