Full description
This is a experience in Hoi An. It is run by Viet Nam Happy Travel, 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 guide, Entrance fee, Meal, Welcome drink and One lantern per person. It does not cover Hotel pickup and drop-off and Personal 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.
Viet Nam Happy Travel sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Viet Nam Happy Travel before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

My guide Thu was the best thing. She was so sweet and kind and knowledgeable. Seeing the process and learning how to identify real silk from fake was great. I also bought myself a beautiful scarf, one like you don't see around town.
Fascinating!! Would recommend this to everyone interested in textiles and history.
This was a HUGE wow!! The tour of the silk farm and its history was amazing. My guides were great and I loved making my own lantern. Plus the meal at the end was delicious. I’m going to recommend this to everyone I know who is coming to Hoi An … this is a must!
Super informative with an awesome guide! Was so fascinating to see the entire silk making process :)
It was very informative & the guide was lovely - it is a beautiful village with lots of greenery & traditional old buildings & processes. Lunch was in a lovey restaurant- I made a small lantern to take home - you could buy film items if you wanted to - good for a friend group to do
Visite guidée intéressante, fabrication lanterne satisfaisante, petit repas excellent.
Es war sehr interessant die Seidenherstellung von Anfang bis zur Verarbeitung kennenzulernen. Ich wollte das schon immer sehen und kam mit Fragen, leider sprach mein Guide schlecht Englisch bzw. Ich konnte ihre Aussprache nicht verstehen. Das fand ich schade, sie war dennoch sehr bemüht und super freundlich.
