SUMMARY:Day excursion - Hạ Thái Lacquer Village - FULL
DESCRIPTION:The layers of lacquer\, layer of the soul – Hạ Thái Lacquer Village.  \nTHIS TOUR IS FULL – IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE ADDED TO THE WAITING LIST PLEASE CONTACT ANH AS PER THE END OF THIS NOTICE \nWhen exploring imperial architecture\, ancient houses\, Buddhism and temples in Vietnam\, horizontal boards\, parallel sentences and statues are clearly identifiable and beautifully decorated in red and yellow. The art of decorating these works developed alongside Vietnam’s history and many famous craft villages still exist today.  According to some documents\, this profession has an 800 year-old history. \nAlthough Hạ Thái village was not the first to invent lacquer painting it is the centre of this art in Vietnam.  It was initiated by Vietnamese painters at the Indochina College of Fine Arts in the 1930s. They introduced lacquer painting techniques to the people in Ha Thai village and from then on many artisans were born. Vietnamese lacquer has become the inspiration for artists in other countries like China or Japan to study. Each lacquer painting has its own unique beauty. Enjoying lacquer painting requires thorough knowledge of painting techniques in order to understand the talent and dedication of artisans as well as the sophistication and creativity which lies beneath the layers of colour. There are never two identical works. \nListen to the stories of craftsmanship and the lives of the artists as we admire the unique lacquer artworks. Join us as we meet artisan Vũ Huy Mến – the “treasure” of Hạ Thái village. \nVisiting Hạ Thái is also a chance to explore a typical northern village still retaining its ancient features of the temple\, pagoda\, the pond and the courtyard …. here\, we understand how this peaceful place nurtures the artists’ souls. \nNotes: \nPlease bring personal water bottles as we are reducing the plastic consumption. Bring your own packed lunch or the village has food stalls and cafes. \nMeeting point: outside the Pan Pacific Hotel\, Yên Phụ Road\, at the corner of Thanh Niên Road. \nThe trip from Hanoi to Hạ Thái Village = about 1 hour.  Please arrive 8.45am ready for us to depart by 9.00 am. \nPlease dress appropriately as we will visit the Hạ Thái Temple and Pagoda complex. \nMax 25 pax \n(adults 300k\, children under 15 and students 150k) \nFor Registration sign up here and more information contact Anh \nHạ Thái Lacquer village\, Duyen Thai commune\, Thuong Tin district\, Hanoi \nPlease follow and like us:Share this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)Like this:Like Loading...\n\n	Related\n
