2 hour class with 5 members of the group. The two men running the class were very talented, patient and good fun. We made a latern each from scratch, we got to choose the shape and material. We got a welcome drink and water when required. Some of our group bought a couple of laterns at the end which were beautifully hand painted and very good value for money. Would definitely recommend this class for anyone visiting Hoi An.

My boyfriend and I just had the best time making our lanterns with this wonderful family. The class is about 2.5 hours and it is so much fun. You can take the lanterns with you as the fold up nicely to pop in the suitcase. The instructors teaching are so accommodating and patient if you’re slow/not good at art. These guys made us feel right at home, they even took us to their favourite dumpling restaurant around the corner as well as taking us to a wonderful tailor who was got a perfect suit made off! Our lanterns were just great, highly recommend :)

My boyfriend and I booked this class when we stayed in Hoi An. Such an amazing experience! We both enjoyed making these from the frame to adding the silk onto the bamboo (with lots of help). The staff were amazing and patient with us! I would definitely recommend everyone trying this! It took us about 2 hours to complete the lanterns and we got to take them home! Amazing!

It was absolutely phenomenal! We found it by accident and booked it because it sounded “cool” (everyone can buy a lantern but not everybody can make one) but we fell in love with the experience. Everything about it was great - the staff was very friendly and welcoming, the place screamed “we make lanterns here and we’re good at it!!” and all the guests were focused yet still enjoying themselves. I would 100% recommend this class to anyone in or around Hoi An ❤️

This was such a fun thing to do in Hoi An and what a beautiful homemade souvenir to take home! The staff were very friendly and helpful when making the lanterns, it does take some time but totally worth. Such a great unique experience to book. Would highly recommend doing this!

If your looking for something a bit different then consider lantern making.
You can either do 1.5 hours (just covering the bamboo frame) or 2.5 hours (building the bamboo frame and then covering it) course.
Our teacher was attentive and fixed our mistakes as the techniques are trickier then they appear.
The end result for my wife and myself we 2 beautiful complementary souvenirs of Hoi An.

We really enjoyed making lanterns! It is actually more challenging than you might think… it took us 2,5 hours, which also included the (hi)story behind the lantern.
Besides creating a lantern, you can also buy the lanterns that are made by them and others at the shop. After finishing our sunrise and sunset lantern, we bought two beautiful lanterns; one of them hand-painted! It’s very different from the ones you can get at the town.
We can definitely recommend this workshop to give you just a little more extra Hoi An ;)

Dip and his family made our lantern making experience amazing. They spoke us through the making process and inform us on why Vietnamese use lanterns! The family are all so lovely and I’d recommend this lantern making class to anyone visiting Hoi an! Amazing morning making my own unique lantern. Thanks guys!

The lantern making class was SO FUN! Our teachers were so helpful and had a great sense of humour. All the lanterns in Hoi An that you can buy are so beautiful, but it was so fun to learn how to make them yourself. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a crafty afternoon, you will not regret it

A wonderful experience, very helpful staff. Step by step workshop. I really recommend it as a solo traveler, a good opportunity to meet new people, and also create a wonderful unique hand-made lantern.

Hello, how would I get in contact with the organisers to see if I can do a morning class instead of afternoon? Thank you in advance 😁 - also if I was to pay a little more would I be aloud to make more than one lantern?
Written February 13, 2020
Sorry for the delay in my response! Still traveling.
We used our hotel (Thanh Van 1, which we recommend!) to contact the lantern making class. Your hotel may be able to get in touch with them and arrange the morning.
Also, you can definitely pay a little more to make more than one (~200k VND). We did the 2-hr class and we’re able to talk them into giving us a smaller one (pre-covered) for a takeaway!
Good luck, and have fun!!

What is the approximate size of the lantern and are there a lot of patterns to choose from? We would prefer a floral pattern option. Thanks!

Hello, I was wondering how we would get the lantern home.
Will it fold flat to be packed into our luggage?
Written September 6, 2019
Yes, you can fold it. We are back in Belgium and all our lanterns survived the plane. So it's easy.
Written September 8, 2019
Crissie is right about the morning classes. There are also two in the afternoon - at 2pm and 3pm.
However, I believe that in case they’re not completely booked, you can arrange a class at time that suits you the best.

Weet iemand of je dit elke tijd en dag van de week kunt doen? Wij kunnen namelijk alleen vandaag nog eind van de middag.
