Full description
This is a 1-hour experience in Hoi An. It is run by April Adventure Travel Co., LTD, 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 Lantern making workshop, 20 cm lantern, Guidance from skilled local artisans and All materials for lantern making. It does not cover Transportation to the workshop location and Meals and drinks, 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.

We made two small lanterns with lovely red fabric we got to choose. The frame was already made so it was basically just glueing pre-cut pieces onto the frame, but was fun and relaxing. The location was quiet and the instructor was patient and sweet. It was a little tricky to find the shop so look for the landmarks to find it rather than the address. I recommend- and the lanterns are foldable and were wrapped so we can easily fit in our suitcases. I recommend!
Hat uns sehr viel spaß gemacht :) super erklärung und hat uns sehr geholfen bei fragen oder problemen :) Super schöne lampigongs haen wir gebastelt 😍 Können wir aufjedenfall weiter empfehlen. Nächstes jahr kommen wir wieder
Fun activity with two kids (6 and 9 yo)! got to bring home a lantern each.
A very nice private and efficient lantern making class! Can definitely recommend for solo travellers or small groups up to 3-4. Ps! Did not ask for a review.
Great experience! Thank you so much
Super activité pour tous les âges.
Il corso è solo per incollare il tessuto, la base è già fatta. Lei è attenta anche ai clienti che arrivano a comprare le lanterne. Comunque è molto gentile.
the host was super friendly and helpful it was a fun experience though the host was a bit distracted as she was also manning the shop and had to attend to customers
