Bagan Lacquerware Tour – One Hour

Asia Private Travels will provide you with the chance to get well acquainted with this intriguing procedure. The crash training is held at Bagan's oldest lacquerware business, where master craftsmen have spent decades developing their skills.

On this short trip, you will get the opportunity to paint over patterns sketched onto coasters by the craftsmen after being guided through the process of producing a lacquerware item.

For the next activity, also the must-try activity in Myanmar Travel, we transfer to Bagan's oldest lacquerware store and visit the workshop, where each manufacturing stage is carried out.

The procedure starts with the creation of bamboo products, which are subsequently lacquered. Depending on the quality sought, between eight and sixteen layers of lacquer will be applied - a high-end piece of lacquerware might take a year to finish.

The surface is polished after drying before the last step, when things get creative.

On each coaster, a craftsman from the workshop will sketch a classic design. Visitors are then given paint and a brush to finish their creations.

After that, the work will be left to dry before being retrieved later that day or the next morning.

This is the end of the Bagan Lacquerware Tour!
