Meet Hong, our host, a fourth-generation embroidery artisan and owner of Tân Mỹ, a family business founded in 1969. Born into a lineage with 400 years of textile tradition, Hong devoted her life to preserving her ancestral craft. The story of Tân Mỹ began during the war, when her grandmother created embroidered keepsakes with messages of love and hope for soldiers. Today, Hong continues this legacy, welcoming visitors to learn hand embroidery and become part of a living history that has touched generations.

What to expect

Step back in time as you enter a stunning ancient house nestled in Hanoi’s bustling Old Quarter. This is not just a building; it's a living piece of history where you will discover the delicate art of Vietnamese hand embroidery. Your class will be led by a passionate famous and experienced artisan who will introduce you to the fundamental stitches and techniques passed down through generations.

All materials—including the embroidery hoop, fabric, and a wide array of colorful threads—will be provided. You'll learn how to transfer a design and bring it to life with your own hands. The 60- to 90-minute session is designed for all skill levels, whether you are a complete beginner or have some experience. By the end, you'll have a beautiful, hand-stitched souvenir that captures the spirit of your journey.

To complement your creative experience, you'll receive a free drink (such as bottled water, iced tea, or seasonal fruit juice) and traditional Vietnamese snacks like green bean cakes and peanut candy.

For a full cultural immersion, opt to a traditional home-cooked meal with iconic Hanoi dishes, prepared with care by the family and served in the house’s serene setting.
