    I went here with my friend. We had a very good time here. The staff here were helpful. As we stayed in Hanoi for only a few days, we needed the express firing. They sent the products to the hotel I stayed in. Highly recommend!!!

    Found this place on maps and did a double date with friends. The class was fun and dynamic, the price is right and you get to keep your pottery. They guide you patiently and have different packages. Definitely recommended.

    Nous avons passé 3h30 à confectionner nos produits dans ce petit atelier. Une prof était là pour nous aiguiller. Le cours coûte 500k VND et vous payez en plus les produits que vous faites. J'ai fais un bol et une tasse pour 500k VND. Prévoyez du temps si jamais vous voulez les ramener chez vous parce qu'il faut environ 1 semaine pour que ça sèche. C'était un bon moment, les personnes sont très sympathiques. Je recommande

    I chance upon this place in my research and decided to go for a pottery class last minute during our trip. We were initially planning to go to Grand Mega world and we forgo that for the pottery class. That was the best decision we made during the trip. The place was small but yet very cozy, is just nice for a family of 4 like us. Hai who was the instructor was extremely skilled and patient. She was gentle and clear in her instructions and you can really see that she is passionate about teaching the skills. The session that we signed up for was supposed to be 2.5 hours but we took one hour extra to finish it. They need not rush us to finish our work but just let us take our time. It was a great way to escape from the busy city in this little hide out. The session was so fun and therapeutic and my whole family really enjoyed the session. Special thanks also to Tao, who helped with the translations. She spoke very good English and even texted me after my booking to ensure that all my queries were answered. There was a lady who guided my younger girl but I didn manage to get her name. She was also patient with my daughter. It was one of the rare chance in my trip that she was busily engaged in sth and I can take a breather
