What to expect
Hanoi: Old Quarter Authentic Hand-built Pottery Workshop
This activity focuses on traditional techniques inspired by Bat Trang, adapted into a compact session in Hanoi's Old Quarter. You complete one basic 12x12cm piece from start to finish, from shaping to decoration and preparation for firing.
Features
- Learn directly from a local English-speaking instructor who demonstrates authentic Bat Trang-inspired methods, then guides you step by step as you shape, sculpt, and decorate your own ceramic piece.
- Work within a structured hand-built pottery workshop format that lets you focus on a single basic 12x12cm piece, so you can refine its form, surface, and decoration without rushing between multiple projects.
- Use the basic materials, paints, wheel, and tools provided, including clay or a pottery blank, ceramic or acrylic paints, wheel access, and sculpting tools, so you can concentrate on creativity rather than sourcing supplies.
- Slip on the provided apron and make use of the workshop facilities, which are set up so you can experiment comfortably with clay, painting, and finishing techniques.
- Once your design is complete, your piece is prepared through the express firing and glazing service, so it can be kiln-fired and glazed for durability and display.
- After firing, you can take home your unique handmade creation as a meaningful souvenir, keeping in mind that any shipping and delivery fees for fired items are not included if you choose not to collect in person.
