Hanoi - Bat Trang Pottery Ceramic Factory - Hanoi (L)

At 9:15 AM, we'll pick you up at our shop, Authentic Bat Trang, located in Hanoi's Old Quarter at 115 Hang Gai. From there, we'll transfer you to Bat Trang ceramics village, about 15 kilometers southeast of Hanoi center, which will take approximately 40 minutes.

At 10:15 AM, we'll arrive at Bat Trang village and head to our first stop, the Glaze Factory. Here, you'll witness the entire process of ceramic production, from molding and drying to firing and glazing. You'll gain insights into the various types of clay and glazes used in the production.

By 11:15 AM, we'll visit the oldest kiln in Bat Trang, known as LÒ BẦU CỔ, which has been in operation for over 200 years and still uses wood firing techniques. You'll have the opportunity to explore the interior of the kiln and learn about its fascinating history.

At noon, we'll enjoy a traditional Vietnamese lunch in Bat Trang village.

At 12:45 PM, after lunch, we'll explore the ancient side of Bat Trang village, with its old houses and narrow streets, providing a glimpse into the village's rich history. (Please note: Without a tour guide, navigating this area may be challenging.)

By 2:00 PM, we'll proceed to our next destination, the Hand Made and Hand Painted Factory, where all ceramics are crafted by hand. Here, you'll have the chance to observe artisans at work and even participate in a short pottery ceramics class.

At 4:00 PM, we'll transfer you back to your car for the journey back to Hanoi.

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 recommended for those eager to delve into pottery or try wheel throwing, with an array of beautiful glazes to choose from.Starting our Hanoi adventure with this activity was a wise choice, considering the time required for firing and glazing at Authentic Bat Trang. Thank you for such a memorable experience!

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. 🤣
