Relax with a unique lamp-making workshop.

The unique craft workshop of Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim Chi, residing in My Thoi ward, is a delightful experience for many who want to find a space to be creative and make meaningful gifts with their own hands.

Unlike store-bought gifts, at Kim Chi's craft workshop you can light up decorative lamps that reflect your own unique style. Kim Chi explains that while researching handcrafted jewelry from abroad, she discovered a special material that dries quickly after shaping, making it ideal for larger decorative items. Instead of making small items like necklaces and earrings, she focuses on creating decorative lamps. These lamps also serve as lasting keepsakes.

The workshop is held regularly on weekends at the cafe affiliated with Ms. Kim Chi. If you're busy and need a custom-made lamp as a gift, you can still contact Ms. Chi in advance to schedule a session on weekday evenings. In about 1-2 hours, Ms. Chi will provide detailed guidance to help you complete your project. All necessary tools are provided, ensuring you can start working as soon as you arrive.

Chi's workshop on making decorative lamps from recycled materials attracts participants not only with its creativity but also with its memorable experience. With patience and meticulousness, you can create a beautiful lamp. This is also an ideal activity for dates, gatherings with friends, or simply for yourself.

Besides letter-shaped or shape-based decorative lamps, you can unleash your creativity with smaller products like keychains. The workshop prices are considered "reasonable" compared to the general market. The price for a decorative lamp is 210,000 VND depending on the number of letters and the size of the lamp base, while a keychain costs 49,000 VND.

Ms. Nguyen Bich Hien, a resident of Long Xuyen ward, enthusiastically shared: “I participated in the workshop with my group of friends on the weekend. It was not only a creative experience but also an opportunity to strengthen friendships. The workshop space was friendly, and Ms. Chi provided very enthusiastic guidance, from preparing materials to shaping techniques. I made a bedside lamp with my name on it for 280,000 VND. That price is quite reasonable because not only did I get a bedside lamp that refreshed my bedroom space, but I also learned how to create a creative bedside lamp. I will continue to participate in decorative lamp workshops if I have time. After the workshop, everyone had a product with their own personal touch.”

Each product created here carries special meaning. More than just a gift, it's a heartfelt expression of the maker's feelings and dedication. Making a handmade gift for family, friends, or loved ones is far more valuable than any store-bought item.

Originally an office worker, the idea for her decorative lamp-making workshop came to Ms. Chi by chance. “Amidst the demands of my main job and daily pressures, I realized the need for a space to relax, unleash my creativity, and find balance in life. Many people share this view, so the workshop attracts about 10 customers each week. Being in the early stages and receiving such support is a positive sign,” Ms. Kim Chi said.

According to Ms. Chi, despite its small scale, the lamps made here bring warm stories and memories to many people. If you are looking for a meaningful gift, or simply want to experience a new craft activity, visit the decorative lamp making workshop. You will surely have a relaxing weekend filled with creativity and unexpected joy.
