What makes this experience unique?
This experience lets you get your hands dirty with a real craft, not just looking at pictures or visiting a workshop from the outside. You're not only admiring beautiful works, but you're also led into two distinct art spaces — a collection of traditional sculptures rooted in Vietnamese culture and modern creations inspired by anime and manga — and then you begin creating a product with your own hands. In the peaceful atmosphere of Go Noi village, beside the river and fields, the sound of chiseling echoes amidst the natural setting, making carving not just a technique, but an experience of feeling the wood material, the shapes, and the real-time movement of hand, eye, and idea.
What you'll get to experience with us
When participating, you will step into a riverside workshop, smell the fresh wood and hear the gentle sound of carving. You will observe large, exquisite wooden artworks, then take a chisel and gradually carve your own piece of wood under direct guidance step by step, from basic shaping to small details. Your hands will touch the wood surface, feel the smoothness and grain, listen to the master adjusting the chisel at the right angle, and then see the carving gradually appear. Finally, you will bring back the product you made, a product full of memories of the process of creating your own artwork.
