Vietnam's Youngest Artisan
Nguyen Tran Hiep, born in Northern province of Bac Ninh, has become the youngest artist of Vietnam at
the age of 37. He succeeded in developing a large-scale fine-art furniture workshop thanks to an extensive
renovation and considerable investment. Before achieving all this, he had gone through with many
difficulties in his work.
In 2000, Nguyen Tran Hiep established his own fine-art wood carving workshop, using all of his family's
savings and a loan from Bac Ninh province's Youth Union after he had learned about the craft from a
famous artisan. Unfortunately, his products could not reach a wide range of customers. At that time, many
other people in the village also failed to earn a decent living on making craft and they decided to quit their
tradition job. People found jobs and made money many other ways but Hiep didn't give up his dream of
developing the tradition craft into a profitable business. He is spending the next years learning and
researching the market to find out the most suitable markets for his products. He targeted two types of
customers the firstis foreign tourists and the second is traders from China.
For the tourists, his workshop mainly produces small handicrafts and souvenirs, such as small animals,
painting, tea trays, figurines and rasaries. For the Chinese cilents, his workshop makes products to order
based on the current sample designs.At present, his workshop renamed Hiep Thang Fine arts Cooperative,
provides stable jobs for 28 employees with an average income of 4-10 million dong/month.
One of Nguyen Tran Hiep's best works is " Bat Long vong quang phat" which originated from the idea of
the eight kings of the Ly dynasty incarnating into eight dragons on a five-colour lotus tower. This work was
made to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union and
has been listed in the Vietnamest Record Book in 2011 as the best fine-art sculpture of ideology and art.
