Pick-up at central Hanoi, the car takes you to Kim Lan ancient pottery village, more than 1,000 years old by the Red River;
Chat and “create” with pottery artisans, talented artisans whose hands, minds, and passionate hearts, creativity, and love for the craft create unique ceramic works.
You will talk with the artisan and hear them share about pottery work, different products with different processes.
Each product carries its own story, conveying cultural values passed down through generations.
You will be guided by the artisan to create a suitable product, bearing the mark of the artisan’s hands along with your participation in the experience.
Listen to stories of the craft forged and passed down through generations, and then younger generations learn and continue the work of their ancestors, all creating a craft village with truly profound core cultural values.
You will receive your product that you helped create, or will receive the item after it has been completed.
The car takes you back to central Hanoi and we look forward to meeting again on future trips.
Meeting an artisan is not only an opportunity to learn about a pottery-making technique, but also a chance to hear people in the craft tell stories about clay, about the trade, and about the joys, sorrows, and concerns involved in preserving the craft amid today’s life. In the pottery workshop space, beside a cup of coffee and sincere stories, you can observe the artisan at work, talk directly, ask questions, and better understand the value of a product created from experience, patience, and love for the craft.
