Description

Step into a cozy, creative studio in the heart of Saigon and immerse yourself in a unique craft experience that blends Vietnamese artistry with personal creativity. Begin your workshop with a short introduction to Vietnam’s traditional paper “giấy điệp”, a handcrafted paper made from seashell powder that gives a delicate, pearly shimmer. Learn how this material, once used for calligraphy and folk paintings, becomes the perfect backdrop for your floral clock. Next, get hands-on with corn leaves—carefully dyed and dried—used to form delicate petals. Under the guidance of local artisans, cut, shape, and layer them into blooming flowers, then arrange them on your chosen clock frame. Select your favorite colors and clock design, from gentle pastels to vibrant tropical tones, creating a piece that truly reflects your personality. Finally, assemble your creation into a working wall clock — a perfect fusion of Vietnamese heritage and modern home décor. At the end of the workshop, take home not only your handmade flower clock but also a newfound appreciation for Vietnam’s sustainable crafts and creativity.
