Lantern Making Class Hưng An Workshop

You pre-assemble onto a wire frame rather than build from scratch, choosing fabric from a small selection of colors and patterns. The teacher walks around keeping everyone on track, explains the meaning behind different colors, and will hunt down the specific shade you want if it’s not immediately visible. Bring patience for the language barrier – English is limited – but the guidance is hands-on enough that it works anyway.

The shop also sells finished lanterns including lace styles and plain white satin ones that are harder to find elsewhere. Pricing on the ready-made lanterns has some flex to it (one reviewer paid 250k per lantern for the class, another got charged 500k, so ask the price upfront and confirm it before you commit).
