Worth the time and money. I was very sceptical looking at some of the images online thinking there is no way the final product could be that good given people’s varying artistic talents. Simply put, the teachers really are that good. What you see is what you get and I am so glad we opted for this during our trip to Hoi An.

We had an extraordinary workshop with Hata and his team. Everyone was very friendly, patient and helpful and we had a lot of fun. The time has passed like in flight and also the organization with pickup at the hotel was great! The Mood was also very nice and we now have our own wooden art from Hoi An. They let us do as much as possible and then intervened when we needed help or to make the final touches to the artwork. Wonderful experience, highly recommended!

Wow! This was an amazing place! The talented people who work there are so friendly and helpful. We had 3 hrs there to create our carvings, would have liked to stay longer, very pleased with the little fish plaque I made, you can send them an image if you want to carve something specific, but they have lots of ideas for you. I would recommend this for a fun and unique experience for those who enjoy crafts. Thank you so much for a lovely morning. Ruth Banks

If you're looking for a different experience outside of hoi an, this is it!! It was one of the best experiences and top highlights of our trip. We took the morning class and both Hata and Ming were extremely patient and helpful with the entire process (from choosing the outwork, to teaching the crafting methods). Despite our lack of skills (I must admit), they helped us out in cleaning up the artwork and its truly a masterpiece in itself. If youre thinking of this experience, I highly recommend it! Will hope to do another in the future when im back in Vietnam! Cheers!

Pay to experience how difficult it is to do wood carving! Choose any photo you want - either what is available or you can bring your own photo. The staff there made it seem like it is so simple but it is all through years of experience to get to their level of skill. After knowing how difficult it is, eventually the staff will help you put up the finishing touches and have a nice piece of art to bring home. Nothing but respect for their skill! And for the work they put in, it is really worth the price paid. Also, we were very lucky for the owner of the place carve something for my mum!

An absolutely amazing afternoon with some astonishing master craftsmen. We learned basing carving skills to a simple drawing, with help from the craftsman teaching us. A peaceful and thoroughly enjoyable afternoon with your own piece of art when you finish. Highly recommend!!

Super fun experience! If you want something different then this is perfect. You can choose a design and then get to carve it out yourself, with a little help and very good directions for every step of the carving. The people are very friendly and the scenery is lovely. Would recommend!!

My husband really enjoyed our workshop. The place is set by the river in a lovely garden. Staff were friendly and helpful. Really pleased with what we made and cant wait to put up in our house. We even purchased a chisel set so we can continue to make more woodart at home as we found the chiseling so therapeutic . Bit of a way out of Hoi An town which does add to the cost. Highly recommended activity with souvenir to bring home!
