On August 17, at 85 Nhat Chieu (Tay Ho, Hanoi ), the Muong Cultural Space Museum opened a Muong pottery workshop with more than 100 unique Muong pottery works, created by artists over the past 10 years.
According to information from the Organizing Committee, in 2007, the Muong Cultural Space Museum was established at 202 Tay Tien Street ( Hoa Binh City, Hoa Binh Province) by artist Vu Duc Hieu with the desire to preserve and introduce the Muong ethnic cultural space in Vietnam.

The museum quickly became a cultural and artistic address attracting the attention of the community and the exchange and creation of many domestic and international artists and cultural and artistic organizations.
With efforts to honor traditional Muong culture and associated with contemporary artistic activities and creations.
In September 2014, with the establishment of Muong Studio and Muong Pottery Workshop, a special playground was created for domestic and foreign artists to create with ceramic materials.
With many years of research and learning from previous artisans and artists, along with many tours, experiences, and explorations of traditional ceramic regions across the country, Vu Duc Hieu and his colleagues at Muong Studio have created a unique ceramic quality and spirit that everyone loves and identifies with the name: Muong Ceramics.
Using local materials, directly exploited on site such as hill soil, termite soil... combined with various types of glaze, dry glaze from tree bark, rice husk ash, local materials... Muong pottery brings special and surprising aesthetic effects.
Ceramics go beyond the stereotype of conventional vases and are recognized as a distinct, independent material that creates sculptures with expressions that not all materials can have.
According to curator and art researcher Vu Huy Thong, Muong pottery has exploited well the inspiration and love in the nearly two-decade journey of efforts to preserve and promote Muong culture by artist Vu Duc Hieu.

Muong pottery mainly has a rough surface, with colors of brown, yellow, indigo, green... Achieving these color combinations is the result of a long process of research and experimentation with formulas for mixing traditional organic glaze and some common inorganic substances in modern ceramic glaze making techniques.
More than 100 Muong ceramic works introduced at the exhibition "Opening Muong ceramic workshop" this time are unique ceramic works by many artists who have participated in creating at Muong Studio for many years, selected to introduce to domestic and foreign audiences at a very new art address: 85 Nhat Chieu, Tay Ho.
The event takes place on August 17 and 18, open all day to the public and visitors interested in and loving Muong pottery art.
