Learn the history and basics of Bat Trang ceramics

Bat Trang ceramics have long been an important part of Vietnamese culture. Made and hand-painted by artisans who have passed down their craft for generations in Bat Trang pottery village, they are highly valued in Vietnam. The class begins with the story of Bat Trang ceramics and basic techniques.

Make as many pieces as you like on an electric wheel

All classes use electric potter's wheels, so even first-timers can follow easily. Practice for 3 hours with step-by-step guidance and create freely, with no limit on the number of pieces or designs. The workshop also has a cool rest area with fans.

Take home one fired piece in your chosen color

Choose a color for one of your pieces to be glazed and fired, and take it home for free. Glazing and firing in various colors takes 2-3 days, so plan to pick it up at the workshop.

If you are short on time, your piece can be fired with white glaze only within 1-2 days. Alternatively, you can receive a finished item from the shop or have your piece shipped later (shipping fee not included).

※ One piece is fired for free; additional pieces cost extra.
