Enjoyed this creative workshop which allowed for a few hours of quiet in a busy bustling city. It was also a very educational and culturally enlightening opportunity to learn about the tradition of lion dance which was brought to Vietnam by the Chinese and to this day is preserved by the local Chinese community. The artist comes from a proud line of lion dancers, his father still dancing even in his late 60s! We got to into it that my friend and I stopped by a nearby temple to "open up the eyes and mouths" of our mini lion heads to make sure that they bring us luck (which is what they do with the big dance costumes during CNY!).

Booked: Mini Lion Dance Workshop with Local Artisan

It was such a fun workshop! We learned about the cultural roots of lion dance and got to decorate our own lion heads. I’m not very artistic, so I was a little nervous about painting, but the artisan's guidance made it easy — he even helped touch it up so it looked great in the end. Hoa was the host and Huan was the artisan, both were friendly and passionate about their craft. Highly recommend if you're looking for a unique and meaningful cultural activity in Saigon!

What an amazing experience! We were looking for something a little different to do in HCM and found the mini lion head painting workshop. The hosts were amazing and took us through some history of the lion dance before starting the crafting process. We had a great time and found the whole experience very relaxing. The class was in a small cafe on the top floor with an elevator available almost to the top floor. The space had great views of the city skyline and coffee and pastries on offer to buy.

It was great! So much more than we expected. We learnt to carve in a beautiful, tranquil setting. Got to look around the gallery and appreciate the grounds of the house. Trip is worth it for the setting alone. Tuition is clear and supportive, friendly and helpful, there is no rush. Their English is great too. I would definitely recommend.

They have two different locations, and I did the location that was there inside location. The shop was beautiful, and very professionally designed. I had a great time, trying my hand at mosaics, and I thought they did a great job helping a English speaker to understand how to safely create a fun art piece! The staff was very nice, the complementary drink was delicious, and my girlfriend and I laughed almost the whole time. I would definitely recommend this experience. The only drawback that I felt is important to mention is that it can be a little difficult to find this location because it is an area that is still being developed. But it is absolutely worth your time!
