Learn natural dyeing from Thai artisans and make your own hand-dyed silk scarf
In a cosy studio on the outskirts of Hanoi, learn from master artisans of the Vietnamese Thai ethnic group and make your very own hand-dyed silk scarf. For the Thai community, dyeing is deeply connected to nature - it's done using traditional, all-natural techniques passed down through generations. You’ll learn from master Thai artisan Sam Thi Thinh, who has been dyeing and weaving since she was 14. As she guides you through the process, you’ll see how plants, trees, and other natural ingredients are used to create different colours, and hear the stories behind this intricate craft. You’ll also see how their patterns reflect everyday life, and how dyeing helps preserve their culture and heritage. Then it’s your turn: get hands-on and make your own 40x40cm silk scarf. Throughout the session, enjoy light local snacks in a relaxed, intimate setting - perfect for slowing down and creating something meaningful.What to ExpectLearn the traditional dyeing technique using natural ingredientsCreate your own 40x40cm scarfGain an understanding of Thai traditions and culture

Meet your host
Hoa Tien Brocade is an embroidery and natural-dyed studio founded by Sam Thi Tinh. Tinh is a Thai woman that moved to Hanoi from Hoa Tien Village, Nghe An - one of the oldest (over 100 years old) and most famous brocade-weaving cradles of Thai people.
In 2010, Tinh's mother - Mrs. Sam Thi Bich - started a cooperative business to help increase the income of Thai women in Nghe An and preserve their culture and traditions. Following in her mother's footsteps, Tinh opened her studio in Hanoi as a showroom to share the beauty of Thai handicrafts with the world.
Every Hoa Tien item is made entirely by hand from planting raw materials, dyeing fabrics, weaving, and embroidering into fashion accessories or home decor. It is Tinh's passion to help her own community and tell more people about her culture through what she grew up with - weaving, fabric-dyeing, and embroidery.
