Kudos to the instructors! Much appreciated. ❤️
Had a fantastic time at the Bat Trang Pottery Ceramic Factory Village, with a truly unique experience. Both the teacher and assistant were incredibly helpful and patient. You get a solid 1 1/2 hours to create as much as you desire. Just keep in mind, you'll need to pay extra to take your creations home. 🤣 -

Crafting a Handmade Masterpiece
Embarked on a delightful Bat Trang pottery village workshop, my husband and I joined a small class of five. With patient guidance from the instructor, we sculpted clay into unique pieces, mastering techniques like opening, pulling, and shaping. After throwing multiple pieces, we selected our favorites for firing and glazing, with the option to take home additional creations for a nominal fee.Days later, we collected our finished pieces, marveling at their quality and the swift turnaround time. Tuan, from the shop, provided friendly and informative insights into Bat Trang village. Highly ..View More
