A quiet afternoon escape to touch the earth and feel the fire. In our cozy 18-square-meter studio, we invite you to a unique experience: Crafting handcrafted ceramic jewelry. This is an exclusive, private space for you (1:1) or your small group (1:3 - up to 3 people), where all the focus is dedicated to creating delicate, wearable art.

You will be involved in every step: from selecting the clay and shaping the pieces to glazing and decorating. The Instructor will guide you through every detail. Whether it’s a pair of dainty earrings or a personalized necklace, each piece will be high-fired to become a lasting piece of art.

What's Included

  • Total Privacy: A quiet studio corner with warm tea, mineral water, and unlimited snacks.
  • Materials & Tools: Access to specialized jewelry clay, glazes, and professional crafting tools.
  • Firing Service: Your pieces will be high-fired at 1260°C to ensure maximum durability and a beautiful finish.
  • Professional Photography: We will document your creative process with a professional camera and share the high-resolution photos with you.
  • Ongoing Support: We are always happy to help via message if you have questions while practicing on your own afterward.

The Craft & Materials

  • The Difference is in the Details: Crafting ceramic jewelry is a world apart from making traditional pottery like cups or bowls. From the micro-carving tools to the delicate shaping techniques, everything is specialized to achieve the refined quality required for jewelry. You can truly expect a level of craftsmanship that far exceeds mass-produced items.
  • Understanding the Clay: At the studio, we will introduce and help you distinguish between different clay types from their plasticity and color to the unique effects after firing. We will work together to find the perfect clay that matches your vision and style.

What's Not Included

  • International Shipping: We offer free shipping within Vietnam. For international orders, shipping fees are not included and will be calculated based on the carrier's rates at the time of delivery.
  • Shipping Details: International rates are determined by the final weight of the package after professional packaging and attaching all accessories. Prices vary by destination and carrier policies.
  • Premium Metal Findings: For high-end attachments like silver or gold, beyond the basic materials provided.
  • Extra Art Supplies: Tools and materials for home practice.

Time & Location

  • Duration: A minimum of 2.5 hours. We embrace a slow pace, so feel free to take your time without any rush.
  • "Come Back for Free" Policy: If your jewelry design is intricate and requires more time, you are more than welcome to return on another day to finish it, 100% free of charge.
  • Hours: 09:00 - 18:00 | Monday - Saturday (Advanced booking required).
  • Location: No. 11, Alley 183 Dang Tien Dong, Dong Da, Hanoi (A quiet escape from the Old Quarter bustle).

The Journey After the Workshop

Ceramic jewelry is a unique craft that demands absolute patience. Transforming clay into high-fire porcelain is a journey that cannot be rushed:

  • Drying (5-7 days): Pieces must dry naturally and slowly to prevent cracking.
  • Bisque Firing (1 day): The first firing to harden the clay body.
  • Refining (2 days): Fixing minor imperfections and smoothing edges.
  • Glazing & High-Firing (5 days): Glazing and waiting for the right kiln load. Setting jewelry in the kiln is far more complex and requires specialized tools compared to standard pottery.
  • Assembling (1-2 days): Attaching metal findings and accessories to complete the piece.
  • Packaging & Weighing (1-2 days): Professional packing, weighing, and sending final photos + shipping quotes to you.
  • Transit (7-15 days): Depending on your country and the timing of your shipping payment.
In Total: 21-34 Days (3-4 weeks)

We appreciate your patience, as delicate art takes time to achieve perfection.

Policies & Little Notes

  • Cancellations & Refunds: All bookings are strictly non-refundable (including no-shows) as we prepare the space and materials exclusively for you, but you can recheduling.
  • Rescheduling: Please inform us at least 12 hours in advance if you need to change your date.
  • Pick-up: Since ceramics require natural drying and multiple firing stages, your finished pieces will be ready for pick-up (or shipping) in about 3-4 weeks.
