Very fun, different, excellent!
We spent almost 3 hours making lanterns from scratch and the truth is that it has been a different morning, excellent, fun and on top of that you take home a super unique souvenir as a souvenir. The whole family helps you with everything, they have great energy and they are all very friendly. The atmosphere in the class is very pleasant. The truth is that I recommend it 100% to anyone, with family, friends, as a couple... SUPER SUPER COOL!!!

Lantern making and painting
This was such an amazing class, we knew before going to the lantern making class that if you chose plain fabric for lantern you could also do a painting class. You get a master painter as a teacher, he shows you how to do particularly brush strokes, techniques and how to manipulate branches for cherry blossom trees. You are allowed to choose what style of painting you want from a range including Vietnamese boats, birds, blossom trees, bamboo trees and traditional women. The master painter helps you if you make any errors and you get the chance to practice before painting the lantern. Amazing experience with expert knowledge from the master painter and the lantern makers, staff were so friendly offering food, drinks and good banter! Will be back!
