Aymé and her second husband—General Georges Aymé, who later became the Commander of the French Forces in Indochina, returned to Hanoi and Aymé began teaching lacquer at the Vietnam University of Fine Arts. Fletcher says, “Aymé learned lacquer in the 1920s from a Japanese master. It is an ancient art and, at the time, it was dying out and the techniques were not being passed on to the next generation. Alix not only taught her students how to use lacquer, but how to paint with it, creating art that transcended the merely decorative.”
