I had a lovely morning yesterday carving a driftwood fish. I went on my own but sat at a table and chatted with some others. We started with a choice of drinks, then were shown how to use the different carving tools and given additional help when needed. We then could paint our creation and take all the time we needed, there was no rush. We could also look around the different workshops and buy carved souvenirs, with no pressure at all. I booked online by email and they were responsive and helpful. It was a lovely gentle 2 ½ hours in beautiful, chilled surroundings.

A Hidden Gem of Craft and Soul in Hoi An
I had the most heartwarming experience at Driftwood Village. This is not just an art space — it's a place where forgotten wood is brought back to life with love, patience, and incredible craftsmanship. Every corner tells a story, every sculpture feels alive. I joined a wood carving workshop guided by local artisans and created something with my own hands — such a rare and meaningful experience.
The atmosphere is peaceful, the team is kind, and the energy is deeply authentic.
If you're looking for something truly soulful in Hoi An, don’t miss this place.

Very good activity to try in Hoi An
This was a real highlight of our time in Hoi An. Both parents and kids (so from 7 to 55 years old!) got completely absorbed in doing the woodwork. Just enough help from the experts. Highly recommended.

The best experience!
This place is amazing! Firstly the staff are incredibly welcoming and attentive. My two sons signed up for a workshop and it was sensational! The level of support they received during the workshop was just the best (my boys are 12 and 9 years old). The level of challenge in the session was so well pitched and the boys learned so much. The woodwork available to view and purchase was so good and being able to observe the staff making and creating was also very cool. The facility is located in a very beautiful location, surrounded by rice fields and bike tracks. Overall a fantastic experience and highly recommended for children who like to make things and enjoy hands on experiences.

Learn the art of traditional Vietnamese wood carving in a beautiful setting with skilled friendly local artists
Our visit to the carving workshop was amazing! My 13 year old daughter and I love artistic activities and have always wanted to try carving wood so when we found out there was a traditional workshop in Hoi An we were delighted to sign up 😃 From the moment we arrived we were welcomed by the friendly staff who showed us the galleries and taught us about the history of carving in the area. After exploring the many lovely pieces of art created by local artisans we were introduced to a master carver who assisted us throughout our workshop. We were served delicious refreshing drinks while we discussed the steps of our projects. We selected our wood, picked out a design, sketched our images with pencil and jumped right into carving. Our woodworking master was very patient and helped us whenever we had struggles. The interpreters were very cheerful and answered our many questions about carving and Vietnamese woodworking culture. Once our carvings were finished we were offered the option of painting them with acrylic paint or leaving them natural. My daughter decided to paint her carving and was instructed on the best techniques to achieve the look she wanted. I decided to leave my work unpainted, smoothed the carving with sandpaper and carved my initials on the back. Once our projects were done our interpreter ordered a taxi for us and told us more about art culture in Vietnam. Our finished pieces are gorgeous and we will be so proud to hang them on our wall at home! This experience was very special and we are very pleased 😁 We highly recommend this workshop to anyone who loves art and wants to spend quality time together! Thank you all so much 🙏 We will be back in the future
