SeMoCA Persimmon Blossom Pouch Workshop: Dates, Venue, Booking, and What to Expect

SeMoCA’s Persimmon Blossom Pouch workshop is an evening craft program at the Seoul Craft Museum where participants make a traditional lucky pouch shaped like a persimmon blossom. The March and April sessions ran from March 27 to April 24, 2026, and source-backed spring listings also identify May 29 and June 26, 2026, as later last-Friday sessions.¹²

For readers checking the program on or after May 5, 2026, the March and April run has already passed. The clearest remaining date confirmed in the available May notice is May 29, 2026, from 18:00 to 19:30 at the Seoul Craft Museum’s Exhibition Building 3, first-floor education room.³

SeMoCA Persimmon Blossom Pouch: What Participants Make

The workshop centers on sewing a traditional pouch in the shape of a persimmon blossom. SeMoCA’s March and April program page describes the activity as a self-guided craft experience using high-quality hanbok fabric, with sessions held on Friday evenings from 18:00 to 19:30.¹

The Seoul Public Service Reservation page gives a useful practical detail for participants: the program is presented as an autonomous creative activity, but it is not simply an unsupported room-and-materials session. The listing says participants are provided with a making guide or guide video, and that museum staff assistance is available.⁴

The program also connects the making activity with museum viewing. Seoul’s April Culture Night notice introduced the April 24 session as a special experience involving appreciation of artifacts, including an embroidered round pouch, followed by sewing to make the persimmon blossom pouch.⁵ That detail helps clarify the format: the workshop is not only about finishing a small handmade object, but also about approaching traditional pouch forms through a museum program.

For English-language readers, “Persimmon Blossom Pouch” is a practical translation of the craft object described in the Korean listings. The official Korean titles vary slightly across pages, including references to “한 땀, 감꽃 복주머니” and “한 땀, 복주머니,” but the repeated source-backed activity is consistent: participants make a persimmon-blossom-shaped traditional pouch through a guided or self-guided craft format.

Dates, Venue, Fee, and Booking Route

The confirmed venue is the Seoul Craft Museum, Exhibition Building 3, first-floor education room. This same location appears in SeMoCA’s listing, the Seoul Culture Portal event page, and the Seoul Culture Night notices, so it is the key place detail to use when planning a visit.¹²³

The March and April service period was March 27 to April 24, 2026. For that listing, SeMoCA stated that the program was free, accepted 30 people per session, and received applications through Seoul Public Service Reservation.¹ The Seoul Public Service Reservation page for the same service period also lists the fee as free and shows a recruitment number of 30 people.⁴

The broader spring schedule needs careful reading because different pages cover different parts of the program. Seoul Culture Portal lists the event period as March 27 to April 24, 2026, but its details also mention operation on the last Friday of each month from March through June, including May 29 and June 26.² Separately, Seoul’s May Culture Night notice confirms the May 29 session from 18:00 to 19:30 at the same Exhibition Building 3 education room and states that registration is handled through Seoul Public Service Reservation.³

In practical terms, readers should treat the March and April booking details as confirmed for that already completed period, and use the May notice for the next clearly confirmed session information. The available May source confirms the date, time, venue, content, and booking route, while the March and April reservation sources confirm the free fee and 30-person recruitment details for that service period.³⁴

Audience information also depends on the specific listing. Seoul Culture Portal describes the event as open to adults and all citizens.² A separate Catholic University Office of International Affairs notice concerns a different group format for international student groups, stating that SeMoCA’s craft creation program runs from March to December 2026 on the first and third Wednesdays, with seven spring sessions from March to June using the “한 땀, 감꽃 복주머니” content.⁶ That student-group notice is useful context, but individual visitors should rely on the public reservation listing for ordinary session booking.

How to Plan a Visit

Start by checking the relevant Seoul Public Service Reservation page before making plans. The available records show that registration for the March and April service period was handled through Seoul Public Service Reservation, and the May Culture Night notice also names Seoul Public Service Reservation as the booking route for the May 29 session.¹³

Next, confirm the exact session date. As of the current date provided for this article, May 5, 2026, March 27 and April 24 have already passed. May 29, 2026 is the next date directly confirmed by the May Culture Night notice, while June 26, 2026 appears in the Seoul Culture Portal spring schedule details.²³

Finally, plan around the evening time slot. The confirmed public sessions are listed from 18:00 to 19:30, which gives participants a 90-minute window for the museum-linked craft activity.¹³ Because the venue is specifically given as Exhibition Building 3, first-floor education room, that is the room name to look for in reservation details and on-site guidance.
