Highlights
The Hmong Batik Class is a full day introduction to art of hemp production, batik design and indigo dyeing. This gives a rare insight into the richness of Hmong culture while in a warm, friendly, family environment. Each student will create a wax resist, Hmong style design on hand loomed hemp or cotton. Due to time constraints it is not possible to complete the dye portion of the process (if you are staying in Sapa for a few days, this an be arranged). The natural hemp renders a beautiful finished piece. Classes take place in our Sapa workshop. Courses begin at around 9.00am (we are flexible) and usually last between 5 and six hours. The day includes information about Hmong symbiology, the importance of textiles and history.

About Sapa
Sapa is a cool mountain town in northern Vietnam, set among rice terraces and ethnic-minority villages beneath Fansipan, the highest peak in Indochina.
Sapa sits at about 1,500 metres in the Hoàng Liên Sơn range near the Chinese border. It began as a French hill station in the early twentieth century and still has a stone church at its centre. Fansipan, at 3,143 metres the highest mountain in Indochina, rises behind the town, and a cable car now carries visitors most of the way up.
Top-ranked sights in Sapa: Mt. Fansipan, Can Cau Market (Cho Can Cau), Coc Ly Market (Cho Coc Ly).
