The craft of making shell fine art shells in Vung Tau has been established and developed for nearly four decades. However, with the change of time, the craft has gradually dwindled, and now, only Thanh Them shell fine art production facility on Phan Chu Trinh Street, Vung Tau Ward (Ho Chi Minh City) is still operating with about 10 households. Skillful hands of artisans turn empty, white seashells into art pieces that contain the soul of the sea. VNA Photo: Hoàng Nhị
