Thanh Ha ceramic village - Hoi An
Published: 28/06/2012 09:05
Situated near the ancient quarter of Hoi An, the Thanh Ha ceramic village has existed for a long time. The village is well-known or its traditional ceramic products.
The village was a different type of location; plastic and aluminum products were the rule in the 1990s. During those years, ceramic making was not happening in the village. In recent years, the Vietnam culture travel in Hoi An has taken off, and some families in Thanh Ha village dug back into their history and brought traditional ceramics back to life. Besides making ceramic ware for the daily needs of the common people, the villagers are also turning out souvenirs to sell to the tourists. They are creating many kinds such as with children's toys, lampshades, and indoor decorative items. By the end of 2004, the craft was pretty much in full swing in Thanh Ha. The village starts receiving orders from the new big hotels in Hoi An. Nevertheless, to get a firm market position for the ceramic products, the local administration still has a few things to do. In early 2005, the Industry Department of Quang Nam province performed a pilot project to build a new-technology kiln that promises to consume less fuel and produce higher quality ceramics. The kiln is there but it sits idle because no one knows how to use it. A member of Hoi An's leadership, Nguyen Su, says, "We plan to invest in developing a number of craft villages surrounding Hoi An, evenThanh Ha. That is a very costly proposition. A happy fact is that the simple ceramics made by the Thanh Ha villagers are being bought by the tourists because of their honest and simple designs." However, in fact, Thanh Ha village's ceramic products are made in the old way and cannot compete with the mass-producers in terms of commercial appeal, mass sales and uniformity. Their inability to achieve a proportionately higher price has a direct influence on the lives of the people. It is hopeful, Quang Nam province, Hoi An and Thanh Ha will find a way to market: the unusual and valued ceramics of Thanh Ha village so that the potters are able to thrive and the craft can go on.
