Learn traditional Vietnamese embroidery in a 200-year-old Hanoi home
Step into a 200-year-old house in Hanoi’s Old Quarter and learn traditional Vietnamese embroidery from Hong - a fourth-generation artisan carrying on her family’s wartime-born tradition.During the Vietnam War, Hong’s grandmother opened a small embroidery shop to create handmade gifts for soldiers - pillowcases and handkerchiefs embroidered with messages of love and hope. These simple gifts became treasured keepsakes during heartbreaking goodbyes. That shop has since grown into one of Hanoi’s most well-known embroidery names. Now, Hong carries on her family’s legacy with the same care and passion.This small-group workshop is a rare chance to slow down and connect with the craft, the culture, and the artisan keeping it all alive. Perfect for travellers seeking more than the usual tourist experience and want to support cultural traditions passed down through generations.What to ExpectLearn hand embroidery from Hong, whose family has kept this wartime-born tradition alive since 1969Experience a workshop inside a beautifully preserved ancient house in Hanoi’s Old QuarterAll materials provided, from embroidery hoop and fabric to colourful threadsCreate your own unique, hand-stitched piece to bring homeEnjoy local snacks and a refreshing drink as part of the experienceUpgrade with a home-cooked Vietnamese meal prepared by the host’s family, served in the peaceful garden courtyardGood to KnowNo embroidery experience required - suitable for beginners and upWorkshop lasts around 60 to 90 minutes, with time afterwards to relax with your refreshmentsOptional meal add-on available (definitely worth it if you're after local flavours)A translator is present so you can truly connect with Hong and her storiesLovely for solo travellers, culture lovers, craft enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a quiet, meaningful moment in Hanoi
