The Authentic Bat Trang Ceramic Village Tour and Pottery Class
https://tastysafari.com/the-authentic-bat-trang-ceramic-village-tour-and-pottery-class/
the three pottery processes
For the rest of this post, I use pottery and ceramic interchangeably. Just so it doesn’t get confusing…
Pottery is the process of forming vessels and other solid objects.
Ceramic is a compound material. Ceramic made with clay, like those produced in Bat Trang Village, is either earthenware, stoneware or porcelain. Bone china, made with bone ash, is a finer and stronger form of porcelain.
I use “pottery” in a generic sense here because during production, I am not sure if the formed clay objects will eventually end up as earthenware, stoneware or porcelain.
In Bat Trang, three pottery methods are used.

Great day spent learning about ceramics!
Thanks to Sony for the perfect relaxing day of wandering ceramic factories in Bat Tràng, learning about the process of making ceramics and capping it off with making my own bowl and latte mug I’ll cherish forever. It takes 5 days I believe for your own stuff to fully dry So plan accordingly. I’ll be picking it up before my flight out of Hanoi. Sony was more of a friend on this guided tour. No way would you be able to access and see how they make it without booking, considering I made two pieces that look great I’d say the price is perfect. lunch was included !
