As you known, Bát tràng pottery is an old traditional craft village near Hà Nội about 13km from the capital centre. This is the oldest and most famous pottery village in Vietnam. Bát Tràng pottery dates back to the Lê dynasty (which ended circa 1400 AD). If you’re in the capital, go! It will be fantastic opportunity for you to experience the pottery making process. Some clay studio owners offer pottery workshops where a host will help you carefully manipulate the clay and wheel so that you can make a piece on your own. They will even dry your production and colour it for you. Expect to pay around US$5, a humble amount to become a real pottery artist.
