Việt Nam
English
As a country that works primarily with their hands, Vietnamese people have developed and created many things to make themselves. Throughout many generations, Vietnamese people have learned to make everything from houses to homeware, dinnerware, and much more by hand. With this comes a lot of fun activities to do now that more and more people are interested in these crafts. Various workshops are offered for everyone to learn and experience. We have compiled some fun places to visit once you’re in Ha Noi!
Pottery Class
Ceramics is one of the most highly valued craft in Vietnam for its long presence in the culture dating back to the era of kings and queens.
