Vnamtrip Lanterns
Description
A family-run lantern workshop sitting near the pottery village, outside the usual old town circuit. Dao leads the making classes herself – she’s patient, skilled, and will walk you through the whole process from bamboo frame to finished fabric lantern at a pace that actually works for kids and adults alike.
The lanterns here are foldable and travel-friendly, which matters when you’re trying to get one home intact. Fabric selection is broad, and the family will customize sizing on the spot without charging you extra for the trouble.
This is not a slick tourist operation. You will likely get served coffee, tea, or – if you show up at lunch – an actual meal. That’s just how they run things.
