Mat Making
Looking for a peaceful escape where the gentle clatter of weaving looms tells stories from centuries past? Step into Cam Ne Mat Village – one of Da Nang’s oldest and most unique traditional craft villages. Here, each mat is more than a product; it is a living soul of Vietnamese culture, once chosen as a tribute to the Nguyen royal court.
Unique Mat Weaving Art
The Fragrance of Rush, the Colors of the Land Although rush grass isn’t grown locally, Cam Ne’s artisans meticulously select, hand-dye, and sun-dry each strand in vibrant shades of green, red, yellow, indigo, and purple. The result? Rows of brightly colored rushes lining village paths, painting a stunning rural landscape with their distinct scent and natural hues.
Hand-Woven Floral Patterns: Exquisite Craftsmanship Unlike other mat-making villages, the floral motifs on Cam Ne mats aren’t printed – they’re skillfully woven by arranging hand-dyed rush strands during the weaving process. This technique demands incredible dexterity, patience, and an artistic eye, creating vivid and unique designs on every mat.
Superior Quality: Tradition Meets Comfort Cam Ne mats are renowned for their durability, thickness, and soft comfort. Each mat, whether plain or patterned, features carefully folded and reinforced edges for extra strength. Crafted with dedication, Cam Ne mats offer a cooling sensation in summer and warmth in winter, reflecting the care and pride of their makers.
Witness the Craft Firsthand: Join the Experience Visit Cam Ne’s remaining artisan households and witness the full mat-making process – from selecting rush grass, drying and dyeing, to weaving on traditional wooden looms. Try your hand at the basic weaving steps and experience the hard work and skill behind each mat. It’s a hands-on journey into Vietnam’s rich craft heritage.
