Full description
This is a 2.5-hour experience in Hoi An. It is run by Dich vu du lich lang que Cam Thanh, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Japanese craft classes are taught by practitioners who have usually done the craft for decades, and they teach it properly: calligraphy begins with how to hold the brush and grind the ink; pottery on the wheel produces a cup that is fired and posted to you weeks later; ikebana teaches the three-line structure of a Sogetsu or Ikenobo arrangement; indigo dyeing and washi papermaking are done in the workshops of the towns that specialise in them. Classes run one to three hours, materials are included, and most welcome children with a parent.
The price covers Vietnamese tea or 1 soft drink, Material and tools for class and A unique souvenir by leather that you made. It does not cover Hotel pickup and drop-off, Other Food and drinks and Other expenses not mentioned, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
Dich vu du lich lang que Cam Thanh sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed.

This activity is super unique, i really enjoyed it. I ended up being the only one in my session so i had 1:1 help with Canh the guide. He was very helpful and ensured i was comfortable with each step of the process - i accidentally spent 3 hours making my wallet eventho i booked 2 hours but he said it was okay and usually happens as 2 hours is too short for making the wallets. I recommend this class!
I recently attended the leathercraft workshop where I created a passport holder. The instructor was knowledgeable and patient, breaking down each step clearly. The materials provided were high-quality, and there was a good variety of leather types to choose from. I appreciated the hands-on guidance as I learned stitching and edging techniques. The workstation setup was clean and well-organized, and the pace was comfortable. Overall, a rewarding experience that left me with a practical, nicely crafted passport holder. Would recommend to anyone interested in learning leatherworking.
Really lovely leather workshop making a purse. We were able to select our design and choose from lots of different coloured leathers to use. There was just the two of us in the class so it was great! Very personal, thank you
Very very relaxing and nice to learn to handle leather. Way more easy than I tought. Thanks
I really enjoyed the workshop. It was so beginner friendly and the teacher was so patient. I would definitely recommend
This workshop was so much fun! It was so informative and interesting to see how the different leather crafts were made. They were so helpful in making sure our craft was perfect! We both made wallets and there’s so many different styles to choose from. Highly recommend!
Amazing time and leather course with An ! She was wonderful, patient and really open to try out the ideas that I had! If you want a creative activity you’ll love to learn how to make a wallet at An’s shop 😊
This was sooo fun! The staff are extremely patient and friendly. I walked away with a really nice wallet! They even personalized it for me when I asked them if they do that. My boyfriend made something for his friend and he loves how his wallet turned out too!
This was a wonderful activity which both my daughter and I enjoyed. To actually create something from start to finish from leather was brilliant. To watch the guides complete tasks so skilfully and easily was amazing, they had endless amounts of patience also when correcting our mistakes. Our end product looked wonderful and without the help of our guides it would have been a disaster. This would be a good activity to complete as a family or as a solo traveler. Thank you for a relaxing and stress free afternoon.
Had the absolute best time, An I amazing, skilled leather worker and teacher, came away from the longer of the sessions with a beautiful satchel bag, had such a wonderful time, couldn’t recommend this experience enough!
So much Fun , highly recommend this activity , An our instructor was very helpful. Thank you so much for a great day
We all absolutely loved this activity and each made some great wallets. Our guide was really helpful and friendly. Would 💯% recommend
