In the workshop, guests choose fabric colors, select lantern styles, learn to glue fabric onto bamboo frames, finish details, and fold the lantern to take home. With the express class, guests usually work on pre-prepared bamboo frames. With the full class, guests can participate in more steps such as making the frame, fixing bamboo ribs, gluing fabric, and finishing the product.
This tour is suitable for guests who want a short, fun, not too tiring activity with a product to take home. It is very easy to combine with the Hoi An Ancient Town Walking Tour, Hoi An Street Food Tour, Cooking Class, Basket Boat Coconut Village, or Marble Mountain & Hoi An Ancient Town.
