Pottery Making in Phù Lãng
Phù Lãng pottery making was taught to the villagers by the founder of the craft, Mr. Lưu Phong Tú, around the Trần dynasty, 14th century, and has developed to this day. The primary products are pottery with brown glaze and related colors. Product types include religious ceramics, household appliances, and decorative items with the outstanding feature of using the embossing method in the form of bubble engraving, also known as double engraving, with natural, durable, and unique glaze color; The shape of the ceramic is rustic but strong and very bold in shaping sculpture. The production process is specialized with worker teams: furnace team, broaching team, pattern team, enamel team, and cleaning team. The stages include selecting soil and treating clay; shaping on a rotating table (household ceramics and fine art ceramics) and shaping by printing on wooden molds or terracotta molds (worship ceramics); tick, scrape products; glazing (the material used to make glazing is the ash of forest trees, ash as white as lime; currently we use ash from ironwood, bamboo, wood, lime, crushed pebbles, white alluvial mud); fired with wood to create scratches on the ceramic surface (temperature 1000 degrees Celsius, for 3 days and 3 nights continuously). Products made of Phù Lãng ceramics are lustrous, have an echo when tapped, and come in a variety of eel skin tones, including light yellow, dark yellow, brown, and yellow-brown. There are 3 main product lines: altar ceramics (incense burners, altar stands, tops), household ceramics (vases, jars, pipes) and fine art ceramics (paintings, flower pots, vases, animal-shaped kettles). The soul of Phù Lãng ceramic products is created from the rusticity of this eel skin glaze.

Traditional technique of processing skin and hide
Mongols process the animal raw skin and hide (raw skin of cattle). Through long undergone observance and experiments, they were able to elaborate and develop the indigenous traditional technique to process the skin and hide to produce various leather crafts and products. The skin and hide are processed by salting, stripping off, tanning or smoking. For instance, the processed materials from sheep skin can be used to make a deel (traditional garment). The processed materials from hide can be used to produce necessities and equipments such as airag-skin, hide-flask or animal harnesses such as bridle, halter, lasso, tri-hobble, tethering-line, girth and strap of a saddle, and so on. Nowadays, the leather products and crafts made of animal skin and hide are considered as valuable asset in demand for tourist attractions.
