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 categorized two types of customers: the first is 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.
