Itinerary
Welcome to our lantern-making class! We are a family with a tradition of making lanterns in Hoi An. As tourism is booming, we would like to spread our love and desire for lanterns as well as inherited the tradition that ran in the family. We believe that this would be a great chance for those who want to learn about the history of lantern and how it is made. On top of that, this class can be considered a good way for tourists to interact with local people and make yourself a lovely souvenir to bring home.Warmest welcome to our workshop Before getting into the making of your own lanterns, you will have a chance to get to know about all the materials that make up a lantern. In this long class, you will craft your own lantern from scratch, using a bamboo frame and fabric of your choice. You will learn how to cut, bend and glue the bamboo pieces to form the shape of your lantern. Then you will select a fabric from a variety of colors and patterns, and stick it on the frame with glue. You will also learn about the history and culture of lantern making in Hoi An. This class is suitable for anyone who loves crafts and wants to take home a unique souvenir. Steps of making a lantern

Great class! Lots of fun and Lynn and staff are very friendly and helpful. they will teach you and. Put a lot of effort into making sure that you get good results.
Whilst we think the lanterns we made are lovely, the experience felt very rushed and a bit uncomfortable! We felt that we were on a production line and the whole process seemed rushed and in all honesty, a bit unfriendly! The 2 ladies were not very welcoming and seemed to want to hurry us along and out the door! The place is outside of town and our taxi driver found it hard to find. Of all the experiences I have had in Vietnam, this is the only one I would not recommend. The lady did not understand my Viator ticket and expected me to pay again until she phoned someone. Not a comfy place to be or a comfy experience. Our lanterns will look pretty but we haven’t been left with a good feeling!
Good class - quite complicated though as all the staff only speak Vietnamese, so quite difficult to understand instructions etc. Also quite hard to locate the store - down a little alley with no real signage.
You can pick between a shprt or longer option but both allow you to pick your material. We did the longer option which allows you to build the lantern shape of your choice and glue the material to it. The ladies were super helpful and we really enjoyed making our lanterns and came away with a lovely reminder of Hoi An.
Meeting place incorrect on Viator. Go directly to venue which is down an alley before the red Japanese Bridge. Ladies are fabulous and patient! Great time had. Love my lantern. Wish I had booked for two hours and made two lanterns.
We loved this workshop. Had the best time and Lynn was so attentive. Fabulous way to spend an hour relaxing and making something beautiful
our experience with lynns lantern making was great they were very helpful and enjoyable to work with and we got take to our beautiful lanterns home would recommend
Lynn was lovely and I really enjoyed my experience with her. She was very helpful and I’d recommend solo travellers to complete this class
It was pretty funny and they were very helpful I only putted the paper or what is called around the thing me and my family will probably go there one more time
This was a delightful experience as Lynn helped us create a colourful lantern with great patience and skill. It was a very relaxing and welcoming environment.
Lynn and her team lead a fantastic lantern making workshop for people of all ages and speed were able to make beautiful lanterns. They are foldable lanterns so a great keepsake to take home and it was in an amazing location in the old town. ❤️
Our family made lanterns with Lynn and her Mom. So much fun and to us a more rewarding experience than letting a paper lantern go in the river. On top of that we each have a super cool lantern keep sake.
Had a great time making silk covered bamboo lanterns. A very affordable experience. A great way to pass a bit of time and you get to take your creation home. The two ladies instructing us were friendly, kind and patient. Would recommend giving this a shot!
Very good time spent. Both ladies are kind and caring. Soothing moment. Happy to bring the lantern with us
It was a lot of fun for the whole family. The finished lantern has become super beautiful. Highly recommended!!!
