Hi
My 17 year old son and I are coming to HCMC for 4 days in November. My son is keen to do some workshops in weaving, leatherwork, stamp making or origami ... Anyhing hands on really. Backstreet Academy doesnt seem to have much of a range in hCMC as it does in Hanoi. Can anyone suggest anywhere we can go?
Cheers, Pip

hi, we have WOMAN CULTURAL CENTER OF HO CHI MINH CITY in District 3 and District 7, which teach everythings related to handmade and craft arts but in using Vietnamese language, you should have an interpreter if you learn here.

Hope you and your son enjoy your days in HCMC.
