A Day as a Pottery Artist: A Unique Tourist Experience in Saigon Ward

The “Saigon Welcomes a New Day” journey offers a unique cultural experience with a pottery workshop in the heart of Saigon.

On the morning of August 29, 2025, Ho Chi Minh City leaders, Saigon ward leaders and delegates had a memorable experience with the journey "Saigon Welcomes a New Day". The journey is a special excursion, leading to the discovery of the gentle beauty of the city and ending with an extremely meaningful creative experience.

Cultural highlights at Bat Trang Ceramic Space

The day begins with a French breakfast at the Continental Hotel, a Waterbus ride along the Saigon River. Then, we head to the pottery workshop at Bat Trang Ceramics Space at 89 Pasteur, (old District 1) Ho Chi Minh City, a special place right in the heart of Saigon, a quiet space where exquisite ceramic works bring customers a sense of peace.

In this space, all the noisy sounds of the city seem to disappear. Because it is not only a showroom but also a miniature pottery workshop, a place to preserve and spread the beauty of traditional Vietnamese culture.

The delegation visited a miniature pottery workshop and participated in a pottery workshop. The staff there enthusiastically guided each basic step, from kneading the clay, placing it on the wheel to shaping and shaping it. They were not only guides but also storytellers, introducing the history, significance and complexity of traditional pottery.

Group members experienced rotating and shaping pottery like real artisans.

The experience of "a day as a ceramic artist" here really brought an indescribable feeling to the delegates attending. Participating in a ceramic workshop, being guided through the basic steps by those closest to ceramics. Their enthusiasm and knowledge strongly inspired the participants.

Unforgettable ceramic shaping experience

The most exciting moment is when the delegates sit at the turntable, facing a block of clay. Under their hands, the block of clay slowly transforms, from a rough shape into a bowl, a small vase or a unique personal work. This is a challenging experience but also full of joy, surprise and achievement. Making a product by hand not only brings a sense of creativity but also helps relieve stress and find balance in the soul.

Continuing the creative journey, delegates not only tried their hand at the turntable but also participated in the activity of painting on raw ceramic plates. Here, each person was free to express their creativity and artistic personality, turning the original raw plates into colorful works. This activity not only aroused the passion for decoration but also brought unique, hand-made souvenirs, encapsulating the emotions and personal mark of the meaningful "Saigon Hello New Day" trip.

One of the unique features of this experience is that after completing the rough product, guests can send it back to be glazed and fired into a finished product. This process will transform the lifeless block of clay into a finished ceramic work, lasting forever.

Cultural and social significance

The pottery making experience at Bat Trang Ceramic Space is not just a recreational activity. For delegates, it is also an opportunity to connect with the traditional culture of the nation in the most intuitive and profound way.

This activity shows that, in a modern and integrated city, core values ​​and traditional crafts still have a solid position. The past is not old or strange, but it is close and is also a part of the present and the future.

This is a unique cultural tourism model, combining the discovery of urban heritage and the experience of handicrafts. It opens a new direction for the city's tourism industry, not only attracting tourists by its dynamism but also by its cultural depth.
