Jeonju Traditional Hanji Center
Jeonju Traditional Hanji Center is a public craft-and-cultural center in Jeonju dedicated to Jeonju hanji — the Jeonju area's distinctive tradition of handmade mulberry-bark paper that has been one of Korea's most highly regarded paper-making traditions for centuries. The center walks visitors through the entire hanji-making process from mulberry-bark harvesting through fiber preparation, hand-tray paper-forming, drying, and finishing, with hands-on workshop options that let visitors actually try basic hanji-making under instructor guidance. The center also includes a small exhibition area showing historic hanji works, contemporary hanji craft, and a retail corner selling Jeonju hanji paper, hanji-craft items, and traditional Korean stationery. Best for travelers seriously interested in Korean traditional craft, paired with the broader Jeonju Hanok Village walking circuit.
