Clasă autentică de olărit Bat Trang în Cartierul Vechi din Hanoi

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.

love the workshop, it’s thee hours in total. some of the people decide to quit after two hours, because they got the objects they wanted. I took the three hours. made in the end 4 items. the instructors are super friendly and helpful, also originated from Bat Trang. you’re getting the real deal from this workshop. after choosing your items, you can pick around 5 or 6 colours. it takes approximately 2 or 3 days for the glaze to be finished, if you don’t have time you can let it send to your city. the first item is free, every extra item is usa $5 each. definitely recommend this, had a lot of fun

Excellent class by the trainer and she is very detailed and professional. Her steps by step instructions were clear and the venue is comfortable. Will definitely come back!

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!

Excellent & a worthwhile activity! We booked a day earlier for 30 Oct 2.30pm slot. They texted & even called via Whatsapp to ask if we could come at 4.30pm instead which we okay'ed. The pottery class is on the 2nd floor & they have slippers to wear so as not to dirty our shoes. Instructor is very skilled, friendly & helped to save the day when our clay flopped many times. We sat for almost 3 full hours and stood with a sore back but feeling very happy. You get to pick one of your handmade babies to be glazed & fired, or pay additional if you wish to keep more than 1. They can also shipped the products to your country if you are leaving the country before they are done glazing & firing. After the firing process was done, they shared some photos & we were very pleased. Definitely have a try especially if you've never done pottery!

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!
