Thanh Ha was a remarkable experience. A short cab ride for Hoi An, the village contains many pottery studios. I highly recommend Son Thuy, in the far corner of the village ... very artistic work with hand painted items. The museum is well worth a stop, with amazing work on display. And, take advantage of the opportunity to make a pot on a potters wheel. Small admission to enter the village and visit the museum, both well worth it.

My brothers, sisters in law and I , together with our tour guide Eric (Beyourfeet.com) tour guide came here to experience how the folks of this community makes pottery. My brother participated in creating a pot. One lady showed us how while the other lady used her feet to operate the pottery maker. Quite interesting to see. It’s one place to visit in Vietnam if you’re into pots and other ceramics. We spend at least half an hour here.

As a ceramicist, we were intrigued to visit this village , and we were pleasantly surprised. Yes, you have to pay to walk through the streets but it’s just a few bucks, what we viewed around the village was captivating, with locals using old fashioned techniques when throwing on the wheel and the wood fire kilns that some used . One operation stood out amongst all the others, was the outstanding work at Le Van Nhat, with their use of different clays, glazing techniques , creating unique plates, cups and bowls rather than terracotta lamps and sculptures.

Super aggressive ladies at the ticket office and really unfriendly. Basically paid, including kids at 35,000 pp, for driving into a village where there is little to see. Only shops with paid pottery. You can easily not pay. We avoided also the aggressive parking lady for our bikes… pottery making is free. They expect you to buy some of the stuff you make (50k).

Not a great place for the fact that you have to pay 35000 vnd to walk and go shopping. My daughter enjoyed making pottery of her own and we had to pay 50000 more to get it back. It is fine, but still think one shouldnt have to buy a ticket to get in a village.

We sail from Hoi Ann on a tourist boat to a village outside the city, where the pottery craft is kept alive. Where the entire village used to live from ceramics, only a few small businesses have returned to this. With government support and aimed at tourists. In a small demonstration, a local woman conjures a teapot, a vase and a bowl from a block of clay in no time. Then visitors can try it themselves, with the woman lending a hand. As a farewell, every visitor receives a statue with their Chinese zodiac sign.

This was very weird and felt like a scam. We thought we were paying to get into the museum and check out the surrounding streets. Turns out we were sold a ticket to just walk down the street. It was mostly just houses with 3 or so that happened to sell pottery. We were told we would get a free gift but did not. Were told the pottery class was free so we had a play. They “fired” our pieces in an air fryer and then got us to paint them with acrylic paint. Not real pottery and then asked us to pay. Waste of time and money!

Beware - absolute rip off. We had one good pottery making shop but then got ripped off with the 2nd. We were massively overcharged for their souvenir pottery and they didn’t kiln the kids pottery so useless. Better to buy your pottery at the markets.

We came by bike after reading a good suggestion about this place from a traveler on the internet. My recommendation: don't waste your precious time visiting Hoi An coming to this place. Because there weren't any, we didn't find a single sad place to eat. Regrettable suggestion whose origin can only be to fill pages in the guide/blog.

We cycled out there approx. 3 km. from Old Town. There are several places where pottery is sold, you can try to make a small vase yourself, and in a shop you get a piece of pottery - an animal, which is included in your ticket price. The small animals, women and children sit around the area and make, and on our tour around the place we became very doubtful whether all the ceramics that are sold are home-made, as is advertised. We bought some ceramics, but left the place with a slightly strange feeling. We didn't see any working workshops where there was production, other than those who made the small animals that are given to all guests.

Why do you sell ceramics and pots that are not made in the village?
