Guest Reviews
“I’ve been to 798 before, but this experience gave it a whole new meaning. The handicraft workshop was peaceful and inspiring—I loved learning about Luodian and actually making my own necklace. Such a perfect balance of modern art and traditional culture!”
“Beautiful way to spend an afternoon in Beijing. The 798 Art District was lively and full of photo ops, and the hands-on workshop was the real highlight. I made a lovely blue cloisonné pendant and a scented sachet for my mom. Highly recommend!”
“The craft class exceeded my expectations. I tried all three: Luodian, cloisonné, and sachet sewing—each one so unique. The staff were patient and explained the cultural meaning behind everything. I left with meaningful souvenirs and a calm heart.”
