Short-Term Art Classes in Hanoi for Travelers

Visiting Hanoi for about 2–4 weeks and want more than a one-afternoon workshop? Our short-term art classes are taught packages of 6 or 12 sessions — chosen with you after we hear your dates, pace, and goals. English instruction in a quiet Tay Ho studio near West Lake.

You leave with real skill practice (drawing foundations, charcoal, colour, or painting), not just a souvenir craft. Most guests book a trial class first; then we recommend a 6-session or 12-session package that fits the trip.

Who short-term classes are for

• Travelers staying in Hanoi about 2–4 weeks (or longer) who want regular taught studio time
• Adults who prefer a course over a single workshop or self-directed residency
• Beginners and returning artists who want clear feedback in English
• Anyone whose schedule varies — we set session count and frequency per person

6 or 12 sessions — chosen for each person

Adult short-stay packages are typically 6 or 12 sessions (from $115 / $183 USD). After a trial we look at your level, goals, and departure date, then suggest what you can finish comfortably. Some travelers start with six and add more if they extend; others book twelve from the start. See pricing and adult courses.

• 6-session package — common for a focused foundation block in a shorter 2–4 week stay
• 12-session package — when your stay (or energy) allows deeper practice
• Intensive schedule — same 6–12 range, compressed into fewer weeks if that suits you

Short-term class vs workshop vs residency

• Short-term course (this page) — 6 or 12 taught sessions; best for skill building during a stay of about 2–4 weeks
• One-day workshops — life drawing, silk painting, zine making; ideal for a few days in Hanoi
• Artist residency — independent studio access for 1–4 weeks; optional guidance, not a fixed class
