Embark on your workshop with an immersive exploration into the history and cultural importance of lacquer painting (tranh sơn mài) in Vietnam. Discover how this complex art form has transformed over centuries – from its roots in imperial temples to its contemporary interpretations – utilising natural elements such as tree resin, eggshells, and silver leaf.

Under the guidance of a local artist who harbours a profound passion for lacquer painting, delve into both traditional methods and modern creativity. Your tutor will share personal anecdotes, inspirations, and the hurdles encountered with each layer of lacquer – making the experience feel intimate, poignant, and unforgettable. Design and paint your own lacquer masterpiece, step by step – from sketch to layer application, texturing, and polishing. No previous experience is required – just bring along your curiosity and an open mind.
