Join artist Minjung Choi for a hands-on workshop exploring the vibrant patterns and visual traditions of Korean dancheong (단청). Minjung will introduce participants to the cultural history and symbolism of dancheong and minhwa (민화), Korean folk art traditions that continue to inspire contemporary Korean culture, including popular media such as KPop Demon Hunters. Participants will learn about traditional motifs and patterns and create their own silk fan decorated with Korean dancheong designs. This workshop offers an opportunity to connect with Korean artistic traditions while exploring how traditional imagery continues to be reimagined today. No previous art experience is necessary – just bring your curiosity and creativity!
- Date: Thursday, October 22
- Time: 6:30PM – 8:30PM
- Location: Rehearsal Hall (Suite 203)

This workshop is supported by the Korean Cultural Centre Canada (@kcccanada) through the provision of traditional Korean painting tools.

About
Tett Centre for Creativity & Learning is excited to launch Creative Connections Lab, a free, inclusive, and accessible program offering arts experiences for adults (18+), with a focus on increasing access for individuals who face barriers to participating in the arts and opportunities for social connection. Through a series of interdisciplinary, artist-led workshops, participants engage with multiple art forms—such as visual arts, movement, music, and storytelling—while exploring self-expression, reducing social isolation, and fostering meaningful community connection. Second-language translation and ASL interpretation are available to support accessibility.
This program is funded by a Seed grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
