8 Trần Cao Vân - The residents of Hoi An hold the belief that suspending lanterns outside their homes invites prosperity, joy, and affluence into their lives.
To begin, you’ll have the opportunity to savor our herbal tea while listening to an expert discuss the heritage and cultural significance of Hoi An Lanterns….
Our Lanterns are crafted from silk and bamboo, available in a variety of forms including lotus, diamond, sunrise, and sunset.
The comprehensive 11-step process to create your own lantern is as follows:
Step 1: Fasten 12 bamboo rods using wire thread
Step 2 and 3: Mold the rods into either a sunrise (inverted triangle) or sunset (triangle) shape
Step 4: Place the bamboo rods onto a hanger and fix them in place with thread
Step 5: Choose your preferred silk and hue
Step 6: Apply adhesive and wait for it to set
Step 7: Position the silk and stretch it to envelop the rods
Step 8: Encase the sides completely with silk
Step 9: Adorn the top and bottom of the hanger with silk strips
Step 10: Pick out a tassel for the base of the lantern
Step 11: Complete! You can collapse your lantern and pack it in your luggage to take home
Additionally, the expert will craft an extra lantern for you as a unique token of appreciation at the conclusion of the workshop.

Brilliant. A must do. - Really good fun and excellent value for Money. We thought we were going to make something really awful that we would end up throwing away, but you end up making something as good as in the shops thanks to the really helpful staff. Ten out of ten.

Friendly family business with great vibes - Family business that cares! The family were so encouraging and enthusiastic, and even gave a little presentation on the significance of lanterns in Hoi An!
The setting is beautiful, the choice of lanterns and fabrics etc is amazing as well. They gave us delicious jasmine iced tea and spoke English very well (and some French and Spanish too!).
We had the best time! 100% would recommend to anyone including people with kids.

Must-see! - Magic moment with my teenagers. What a pleasure it is to share a hand-made garment with one s two grandchildren looks like the omnipresent phone.
The hosts were great in every respect.

Hands on and guided lantern making class - Great atmosphere, all the family members/employees were very attentive and helpful. Easy to follow instructions and hands on experience. You're allowed full creative control from the shape to the colours and fabrics. I would highly recommend this class and don't worry ANYONE would be able to participate!

Fun making pretty lanterns - Really enjoyable experience. The staff were so very friendly and welcoming. The family business has been passed down by generations and the young members were very happy and funny in a great atmosphere. The lanterns are so pretty and quite easy to make and the staff were always happy to help. Great fun to get out of the heat for 2-3 hours.
