Painter To Ngoc Trang said that to complete a lacquer product, it takes many steps and a lot of effort. The work is highly unique because of the creativity of the artisan.

"Everyone has initial experiences and visualizations of how to create shapes, thereby expressing each person's own personality through paintings", Mr. Pham Quang Dieu shared. The workshop content includes: Learning about the materials and history of lacquer and the cultural significance of this art form, practicing lacquer painting techniques, creating personal works with the guidance of the artist.
