Reviews
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.
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.
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 was so much fun! even tho I joined on my own, there were other participants and multiple members of staff that made the experience super fun and engaging! instructions are super easy to follow
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
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.
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.
highly recommend this workshop for anyone who loves making your own craft!! I had a wonderful time learning how to make lanterns from the masters who showed great passion, patience and skills. they are also around to assist you every step of the way. many beautiful fabrics to choose from so you can customise your lantern. it is a family business that has been around for years, highly recommend.
Such a fun and educational experience! I chose the longer workshop, so I basically got to make everything from scratch! The teachers are really knowledgable and fun and I got to take my lantern home with me (you can kind of fold them up for your trip, so they fit better)!
The class is very interesting and cozy; The staff is friendly, enthusiastic and can communicate simultaneously in English and Vietnamese (you speak English very naturally because you have guided foreign guests for many years); The cost and implementation time are reasonable (a short course lasts 1h-1h30 with a pre-made light frame; a full class from bamboo bending, frame assembly, and fabric selection will last 2h-2h30). Newly arriving passengers will be invited to a welcome drink of Vietnamese tea. Next, the staff will introduce the history of lanterns and lamp designs, and after finishing, each passenger will receive a beautiful small gift and take photos. photos and results. I had a fun and meaningful time here. I will definitely recommend it to my friends.
