Autêntica aula de cerâmica de Bat Trang no Bairro Antigo de Hanói

This is our first time to try pottery and probably not going to be the last. Our instructor is good in english and his assistant too. The assistant in particular is very patient with us even if we kept of breaking what we have been working on. She speaks great english. They sent us the photos of our works in whatsapp when they were done with the oven thingy and coloring them. They were ready for pickup in about 4 days? One of my finished product broke during the cooking process and they explained that it’s normal — they asked me to choose pick 1 item of the same value from their shop as replacement.

I had fun with pottery class. They assisted us very well with patience and professionalism. Making pots are challenging tho. I am glad I finally tried it. It only took me 2 days to get my pot and now i will take it home with me.

Adorei o workshop, são três horas no total. Algumas pessoas decidem sair depois de duas horas, porque conseguiram os objetos que queriam. Eu fiquei as três horas. No final, fiz 4 itens. Os instrutores são super simpáticos e prestativos, e também são de Bat Trang. Você está recebendo o verdadeiro negócio neste workshop. Depois de escolher seus itens, você pode escolher cerca de 5 ou 6 cores. Leva aproximadamente 2 ou 3 dias para o esmalte ficar pronto; se você não tiver tempo, pode pedir para enviar para sua cidade. O primeiro item é gratuito, cada item extra custa US$ 5. Definitivamente recomendo, me diverti muito.

Excelente aula da instrutora, ela é muito detalhada e profissional. As suas instruções passo a passo foram claras e o local é confortável. Definitivamente voltarei!

Do this on your 1st or 2nd day because the clay needs 1-3 days to fire-up (turn into end product) so you can collect from them and bring home on the same trip. If you can't make it, they do offer to ship so they will contact you later to confirm the shipping fee payment amount. You get to bring back 1 product and any additional is USD 5 each. Another option is to keep it there and you can collect the next time you visitn Hanoi. The location is in Hanoi's Old Quarter itself so it is very convenient. The instructor spoke well, gives clear instructions and was very patient. Definitely worth the visit!

Excelente e uma atividade que vale a pena! Reservamos um dia antes para o dia 30 de outubro, às 14h30. Eles enviaram mensagens e até ligaram via WhatsApp para perguntar se poderíamos ir às 16h30, o que aceitamos. A aula de cerâmica é no 2º andar e eles têm chinelos para usar para não sujar nossos sapatos. O instrutor é muito habilidoso, amigável e ajudou a salvar o dia quando nossa argila falhou muitas vezes. Ficamos sentados por quase 3 horas completas e ficamos com dor nas costas, mas nos sentindo muito felizes. Você pode escolher uma de suas peças feitas à mão para ser esmaltada e queimada, ou pagar um adicional se quiser ficar com mais de 1. Eles também podem enviar os produtos para o seu país se você for sair do país antes que eles terminem de esmaltar e queimar. Após o processo de queima, eles compartilharam algumas fotos e ficamos muito satisfeitos. Definitivamente, experimente, especialmente se você nunca fez cerâmica!

I had such a great experience at Authentic Bat Trang Ceramic Shop, it turned out to be one of the highlights of my time in Hanoi. The class felt really authentic and not overly commercialized. You actually get to sit at the wheel and try shaping clay yourself, and the instructor was super patient, guiding step by step even if it’s your first time. It’s harder than it looks, but also very fun and surprisingly relaxing. Overall, it’s a meaningful and memorable experience, especially if you want to try something different beyond the usual sightseeing. Highly recommend setting aside a few hours for this if you’re visiting Hanoi.

this was pretty cool! had a fun time with my mom doing pottery for the first time 🫶🏻 everyone here is really kind and the instructor’s English is very good so there was no problem in communicating.

Was the only person during the class but it was still great. Hai Yen is a well spoken instructor and was patient throughout the whole process. One of the things I made was broken but they offered a refund and replaced with another spoon of my choice.

Everything was so interesting, they were really helpful considering that it is our first time to do pottery class. We didn’t feel shy to ask numerous times for help and assistance while experimenting. Sony was also very nice in assisting us with the colors of our finish product. Upon getting the finish product, Sony wrapped our pots individually, and very nicely that I could put it straight in my luggage. Overall experience is super nice!
