Step into the vibrant world of Korean fashion with artist and designer Ching Ching Liang guiding your children through the traditional Korean dress, Hanbok. This engaging workshop invites kids to explore culture and identity through sensory interaction and playful dress-up games. It’s a unique opportunity for children to express themselves creatively while learning about Korean heritage.
Throughout the session, children will create artwork, write stories, and take photographs that reflect their experiences.

This project culminates in a book launch in July, making the workshop part of a larger cultural celebration.
