About the workshop

Learn by making, one step at a time.

Our local team teaches the practical skills behind a traditional Hoi An lantern, with a demonstration and hands-on help at each stage.

The makers show you how the materials come together, help when a step feels difficult and give you time to make the lantern your own. The focus stays on what you will learn, make and take home.

You will choose your shape and fabric, work through the process at your own pace and finish with a lantern that folds flat for travelling. No craft experience is needed—just a little curiosity and a willingness to use your hands.
