Meet Thanh Ha pottery makers
Thanh Ha village, Vietnam
The most rewarding part of Thanh Ha is the living craft found in its family workshops. Watching clay take shape on a wheel reveals the coordination and judgement behind objects that can seem simple when seen on a shelf. Some visits include a chance to try shaping clay, but observation and conversation are worthwhile in themselves. Concentrate on the village’s working lanes and makers, allowing time to understand the process and buy directly if you find something you genuinely want to take home.
