Thanh Ha Pottery Village

Nestled along the poetic Thu Bon River, roughly 3km west of the Ancient Town, Thanh Ha Pottery Village stands as a vibrant testament to over 500 years of artisanal history. This village was the kiln that fired the very bricks and tiles used to build the iconic architecture of ancient Hoi An.

Upon arrival, visitors are immersed in a world of warm, rustic terracotta hues. It is a place where tradition breathes; you can observe skilled artisans using age-old techniques to shape raw clay into exquisite pottery on simple wooden turntables. The dexterity and passion of the craftsmen turn every bowl and vase into a masterpiece of heritage.

The experience at Thanh Ha is deeply interactive. Guests are invited to roll up their sleeves, sit at the potter’s wheel, and mold their own unique souvenir to take home. The village is also home to the Thanh Ha Terracotta Park, a stunning museum featuring miniature ceramic versions of world-famous architectural wonders. For guests of Hoi An Historic Hotel, this is a perfect cultural excursion that connects the past with the present through the art of clay.
