Our family story

A family story, one stitch at a time.

Embroidery in our home is not only a display for visitors. It is part of daily life, memory, and the work my mother has carried for decades.

What to know

A tradition inside the family

We come from Van Lam, a place closely connected with embroidery in the Tam Coc area. In our family, embroidery has moved quietly from one generation to another. It has never felt distant or ceremonial to us. It has simply been there: in the room, in the hands of elders, in the patience it teaches, and in the value it gives to careful work.

My mother at the center of the story

At the heart of this workshop is my mother, who has spent more than 50 years with embroidery. Her skill matters, of course, but what guests often remember most is her calm presence and the sincerity with which she shares the craft. She represents not only technical experience but also continuity. Through her, visitors understand that this workshop is built on lived tradition, not marketing alone.

Why this page matters

Why we welcome travelers

Opening our family space to travelers allows the craft to remain alive in a warm and human way. Instead of keeping embroidery only as a finished artwork on the wall, we invite people to see it, try it, and connect with the story behind it. Some guests arrive because they want a fun activity. Others come because they care about culture. The workshop creates space for both.

What we hope people take away

We hope guests leave with more than a souvenir. We hope they leave with a memory of kindness, patience, and a real family encounter in Tam Coc. Even a small embroidered piece can carry that feeling home.
