Traditionelt værksted for fremstilling af løvehoveder

We came to this workshop with our family not knowing what to expect, and it ended up being one of the most delightful experiences of our trip. We painted and decorated our own Lionhead papier-mâché masks while learning about the history of the Lionhead tradition and how it came to Vietnam. The artists shared so much knowledge and context, which made the experience feel meaningful, not just creative. What really stood out was their generosity and heart. They were patient, encouraging, and clearly passionate about sharing their craft. They made everyone feel welcome and capable, whether you were artistic or just there to have fun. And you leave with the cutest memorabilia — your own handmade Lionhead to take home. If you’re anywhere nearby, don’t miss this beautiful, creative experience.

Der Workshop war sehr entspannend. Ich hab viel über die Geschichte des Dracgen gelernt und konnte dann selber kreativ werden. Ich wurde von einem super Team betreut, das mir immer zur Hilfe stand. Am Ende durfte ich natürlich mein fertigen Drachenkopf mitnehmen und hab noch ein kleines Geschenk bekommen.Eine super Aktivität für alle die für ein paar Stunden dem Großstadttrubel entkommen wollen.

What a great workshop! My brother requested I bring him "A lionhead" from a lion dancer character in a computer game he plays. When I saw this I really liked the idea to make a lion head to take home instead of trying to find one that looked similar. In the beginning of the workshop is a short introduction to lion dancing and the artisan who is teaching the workshop. I had a great time making it and they helped me customize it to fit the inspiration picture. My booking was rather last minute, but they could accommodate me. Would recommend!

ベトナムらしい雰囲気があるおしゃれなカフェで、自分だけの獅子舞が作れます！とても丁寧に教えてくださり、楽しく特別な体験ができました！ありがとうございました！

カフェの3階を利用して、獅子頭やお祭りの文化や歴史についてをスライドで学び、その後に職人から直接獅子頭のペイントワークショップを受けることができました！ペイントは基本的に自由に絵付けができますが、さまざまなテンプレートや作例を用意してあり、丁寧にサポートしてくだるのでなんの不安もなく作り上げることができます。目の前で職人が手際良く仕上げていく様子を見ることもでき、ものづくりの魔法を見ているような時間でした。カフェのドリンクもとても美味しくて、みなさんとても気さくで親切だったので、リラックスしてワークショップを受けることができました！作った獅子頭はその場で包んで持ち帰ることができるので、良い旅の思い出になります。受講後に制作風景や記念写真をたくさん送ってくださるので、ひとりで参加される方でも充実したワークショップになると思います！自分だけの小さなアート、これから話題になること間違いなしです！

hosts were very gracious. activity started on time and all required material was provided. they also have us free gifts. loved the experience. must do activity if you are in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh)

This was so much fun! The cafe was cute, comfortable, and quiet. The teachers were so kind and patient, and offered as much or as little artistic assistance as each person desired. We all got very into our projects and were there about 3 hours- the teachers didn’t make us feel rushed. This was a great way to spend a quiet and creative morning. My favorite souvenir so far!

I loved the workshop! it’s just perfect for people who love art + want to bring home a traditional piece of Vietnamese history and culture with them. I am sure it would be interesting for both families and friends/couples.
