Vietnamese Traditional Handweaving Workshop in Hanoi

3 hours 15 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

This workshop is more than a craft class – it's a doorway into the soulful world of Vietnamese culture, where beauty is made by hand and stories are woven into every thread.
You’ll experience a rare and meaningful tradition that exists only in Vietnam: the art of Cói weaving – using natural sedge harvested in wetlands and shaped through centuries of knowledge passed from mother to daughter.
Unlike commercial souvenirs, you’ll make your own eco-friendly artwork, guided by a local artisan who carries the memory of her ancestors’ hands. The space itself is quiet and warm, designed to help you slow down, breathe deeply, and create with intention.
As you weave, you’ll also learn about Vietnamese values – simplicity, harmony, and resilience – through stories, rituals, and friendly conversation. This experience is perfect for mindful travelers, cultural seekers, and anyone looking for a gift that carries real meaning.
Only in Vietnam – only in this moment – only with your own two hands
