    This was such a fun way to spend the afternoon! The instructor was very patient and friendly, we had a lot of laughs everything I made my clay collapse by accident. She was very attentive and supportive. I had so much fun I ended up making 6 different pieces in total!

    This class was so interesting! The person leading the class was very knowledgeable and helpful. She guided us to making some great pots and different items. Would recommend this tour is booked as soon as you can in Hanoi as you are able to keep the items you make (this takes 3-4 days for firing). Unfortunately, as we came on our last day in Hanoi, we couldn’t do this, but instead we were able to get an item from the shop of an equivalent value as a souvenir from the experience. Would really recommend this experience as it was so fun! Great value for money!

    Was lucky enough to get a 1 on 1 class and was super informative and fun to try pottery for the first time.

    Really enjoyed the class. She was lovely and clearly so highly skilled. I ended up being the only person attending the session I booked and got one-on-one tuition, which I really appreciated (I would not have been surprised if they had wanted to cancel). As others have said, make sure you book early on during your stay in Hanoi so they have time to glaze and fire it for you to collect.

    It was fun. More difficult than expected. We were given lots of help. There were only 4 items they showed us how to make, which didn’t take very long (with help); vase, cup, bowl, plate. Endless number of tries, they just swap out the clay every time it’s too wet to keep using. 3hrs is a bit long, we had reached our limit after doing it for around 90 mins.

    My husband and I did the full day factory and village tour followed by the pottery class. It was one of our highlights in Vietnam. Sony was a great host and tour guide - very patient, knowledgable and excellent English speaking. The local lunch was delicious. The potttery class is sure to release your inner creativity and we brought home several pieces of our own making which we treasure and are proud of. You will need to allow three days post workshop for your masterpieces to be glazed and be confident it will be well wrapped safely for you travels. Thank you Sonny for the experience!

    We had a fun afternoon making lovely pottery creations with assistance from a young lady who had tve skill to fix up our mistakes. Please do this 4 days before you leave to allow time to have your work glazed and fired. They will also ship it to you. Recommend this fun activity.

    We did an afternoon session and it was lots of fun. We had a small group and the teacher was really knowledgeable and helpful when we needed assistance (which was a fair bit!). Just make sure you allow enough time for the glazing which is a few days before you can collect them.
