Probably blue sky, clouds, or tomorrow's weather - everyone has their own image and thoughts when look in the sky, but for the illustrator Thomas Lamadieu, he thought of the wide, clear and big canvas.

Hongdae shopping

What is the first thing you want to do when you come visit Korea? According to the survey by Visit Korea Committee on this May, the purpose of visiting Korea is shopping and leisure for over 80%; which continuously increasing. So, many of you probably have either Myeongdong (명동) or Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP, 동대문 디자인플라자) but you must know that Hongdae also have overflowing amount of place to shop and fulfill your needs, especially in fashion :)

This is Hongdae's main street also known as "parking street" because there is parking spot in the middle of the street. This street is very narrow and packed with people so it's little hard to walk during the evenings and nights, but sure thing is that there are still lots of things to look around.

Full of unique items in Hongdae!

Not only the fashion, there are many wonderful things to shop such as accessories, body products, character items, etc. And look at their interiors - almost every little shops are all charmingly decorated. 

Last but not least, their exteriors are decorated in special ways as well, which reflects the seller's style. The weather is getting hotter, so how about visiting Hongdae area for your new summer clothing? :)

Art toy design experience

Have you heard about our education programs? Trick Eye Museum has some educational program for all ages! One of the program is "Art toy design experience". 

When you come visit us, cute porcelain toy named Trinny and Eyenny will welcome you at ticket booth. These are couples of Trinnys and Eyennys decorated in traditional clothing of different country. To have this experience with your loved ones, the price of this experience is originally 8,000 KRW, but we offer it as 5,000 KRW for our visitors! 

Art toys are hidden all over the museum! Isn't it cute how Trinny and Eyenny are turned into different famous characters? Then let's make and design some my own art toy!

Choose a porcelain toy first: you can choose either Trinny (male toy) or Eyenny (female toy). I personally like Trinny because Trinny doesn't have hair lines on head section :P

Then you use color markers to draw on the porcelain toy. But what if you don't have talents on art? Don't worry! We have many toy design samples which is easy to draw with, and correction fluid is also offered so it's easy to make changes with cotton buds. 

So there is infinite ways to transform pure-white Trinny and Eyenny! You may make these with your children and take it as souvenirs or how about draw your loved one's face on it? This experience is for all ages, so try it out when you're at Trick Eye Museum and have one and only toy just for you :)
