Thanh Ha village, a famous sightseeing spot of Quang Nam province, is located on the route between two World Cultural Heritage sites, namely Hoi An ancient town and My Son Sanctuary.
From Hoi An, tourists can get to the village by bus or boat to witness the unique way artisans preserve the ancient pottery profession.
Since the 16th century, Thanh Ha village has been known for its pottery products. Local people still make their products in the same traditional way as their ancestors.
Thanh Ha pottery products were once mainly functional like earthen pots, vases, cups, jars, bricks and tiles.
However, to meet the increasing demand of the market, the Thanh Ha villagers now make a diverse range of highly artistic products.
At present, the village has nearly 100 households engaged in the craft, making a contribution to preserving and developing the traditional craft.
Visiting the village, tourists not only see artisans making beautiful pottery products and learn about the trditional process still used, but also make their own pots with instruction from the village’s artisans.
