Description

Just a short ride from Hoi An’s ancient town, Thanh Ha Pottery Village invites you into a world where pottery is more than a craft—it’s a cherished way of life. For over 500 years, families here have shaped clay into everyday treasures like cups, bowls, and pots, all by hand and foot pedal, never using molds. Every piece is unique, carrying the spirit and skill of its maker. When you visit, you’ll be warmly welcomed into the home of a local craftsman. Take a look at their beautiful creations, then roll up your sleeves for a hands-on pottery class. Guided by your host, you’ll learn how to choose the right clay, shape your own piece, and even paint and decorate it. No experience is needed—just a willingness to try something new and have fun. After your class, you’re free to wander the village, soaking up its peaceful atmosphere. Visit the historic Xuan My Communal House and Nam Dieu Temple, or simply stroll the quiet lanes, enjoying the tranquility and charm of this traditional community. Whether you’re looking to learn a new skill, connect with local culture, or just enjoy a relaxing day out, Thanh Ha Pottery Village offers an authentic and memorable experience you won’t find anywhere else.
