Lantern Making Class

I had a great time making lanterns with this family in Vietnam. They were super friendly, clearly love what they do, and are really good at it. They made the whole process easy and fun, even for beginners. It was a cool way to learn something new and be part of a local tradition. Definitely a highlight of the trip! Word of advice: Choose the full class. You get to make your lantern from its basic parts and it really doesn't take that much more time. Else, you will just be sticking the fabric on the frame.

It was an amazing and knowledgeable lantern making experience. Teaching staff were friendly and very patient. They monitored every step we made to make sure we could handle and helped fine-tune them a bit so our lanterns look nice. I specially thanked the staff were caring and patiently guiding my 4 years old girl to make the lantern. We also learned the names of different lanterns in Hoi An. The lanterns are foldable, so it is no worry to bring them home in suitcase.

This is a fantastic activity which my whole family agreed was so fun. Even if you have no craft skills, you come home with a pretty professional looking lantern. They help you through the whole process. We booked the 9am session which I recommend because the activity is quite popular. There was already a line outside by midday full of people waiting to come in and walk ins. The lantern folds flatter and fits in your luggage and then you can pop it open again. We did the full lesson which took us a little over 2 hours. I assume if you book later in the day when it is more full, it may take longer as you wait for the teachers to check your progress.

The class is fun and value for your money. You will also get to know the history of Hoi An lanterns. The teachers are young, cheerfull and helpful, they will give you step by step instruction at your own pace. highly recommended if you visit in Hoi An.

The experience is a must do in Hoi an, we can really create your lantern from scratch and they will guide you every step as well as making sure it’s well done so your lantern looks amazing at the end and you can chose the design but also the fabric you want ! Loved the family vibe shop also !! Highly recommend

I had an absolutely fantastic time at the Tieng Vong Pho Lantern Making Class! I chose the option to create a lantern from scratch, starting with the frame and finishing with the fabric, and it was such an enjoyable and rewarding experience. The team was incredible—friendly, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. They shared fascinating insights about the history of lanterns, gave clear and helpful instructions, and were always ready to assist whenever needed. The variety of fabrics to choose from was stunning, making it easy to create something truly personal. The workshop itself was a feast for the senses—vibrant and colorful, with relaxing music playing and tea served to make the experience even more special. I’m so proud of the beautiful lantern I made, which will be a cherished memento of my trip to Hoi An. I can’t recommend this class enough—it was fun, engaging, and a wonderful way to connect with local culture. Five stars all the way!

this was such an enjoyable experience! the staff were so lovely and helpful and I couldn’t believe the end result!such a special thing to do in Hoi an!

It was a great class. I wasn’t sure that I wanted to do it but lanterns were looking so pretty in the whole town that I decided to opt for the class. Tam and her cousin were quite fun and helped us through the entire process amazingly. I would highly recommend this place for the express or full class of lantern making.

it was so much fun!!! it’s harder than it looks, There’s so much fabric to choose from too, I loved all the materials so it was hard to choose, the staff were super lovely and funny!!! I loved them!! there was always someone around to help. I’m glad I went took about 2 hours I’d say to put it together
