My 12 year old daughter loves crafts so this was the perfect activity for us. The ladies who run the class were really great and helpful. 90 minutes to do this kind of activity for the price is exceptional value especially when you are left with the tile keepsake as a souvenir. I highly recommend taking this class!

Out of all the things I have done in Amsterdam, this was my favorite. The people running this were very welcoming and helpful. Even if you are not confident with art you will leave with a beautiful tile. I truly recommend this experience!
Giovanna_G, Jul 2026
This experience was a lot of fun. The two people running it were very engaging. Instructions were detailed but simple enough for someone who's never done any painting. Would definitely recommend.

It is a fun experience. Enjoy it and don't be very critical about the outcome of your tile. It isn't easy but produces a great souvenir.

It is so much fun! The guides are very helpful. Erma and the other guides are always eager to answer any questions. They also shared the origin of Delft painting.
I got too excited and chose a complicated drawing. I would recommend choosing an easier pattern for beginners.

Great experience! Learned about the history of tile in the Netherlands. Tile art was really fun and they made it easy by offering a wide variety of stencils to choose from. All with different levels of complexity

A wonderful way to spend a few hours in the morning. We walked away with a cute souvenir from our trip. Location was very nice.
Jennifer_C, Jun 2026
It’s a relaxed, fun, and cultural experience all in one! You create and take with you your own souvenir!
Emily_M, Jun 2026
Informative, fun, and a creative experience to connect with culture in a new place and you get to take home a souvenir you made yourself that is much more personal than what you can buy in a shop. The instructors were kind, encouraging, and made this activity accessible to everyone.

Amazing experience! Not o my is it inclusive and joyful, but the process is beautiful
And so much fun. BB was absolutely wonderful. Best part of my very jet-lagged day.

Easy to do. Very fun. Everyone at our table was very social and we helped each other. Very nice way to remember our time in Amsterdam.

Our Blue Tile workshop was so much fun. We had a group of all different ages and abilities and no matter the talent the tiles came out beautifully. Our instructor, Belinda, was fun, informative and very helpful! Getting to do an activity that allows you to leave with a meaningful souvenir is the best! Our family high recommends this workshop!
Connie_B, Jun 2026
The Dutch Tile making activity was excellent for so many reasons. Our sisters and I enjoyed the experience of creating something we didn’t feel we could do. Our teacher was very encouraging and helpful. She was patient and kind

This was wonderful! Great people running it and very professional. They certainly knew what they were doing and were very helpful when my painting needed assistance! I purchased paint to do it at home.
My number one experience in Amsterdam!!

Ryan_M, May 2026
Had an amazing time!! Definitely a great experience with friends, family, partner or solo! Our guide was the best
Allyson_G, May 2026
It’s was a really fun experience. I would do this again. I wish there was maybe 15-30 minutes more because I felt a bit rushed at the end. This made a great souvenir for my daughter and I.
Julie_T, May 2026
First, your tiles probably won’t turn out like the pics unless you’re a pro painter. There’s a ton of design choices but only one or two from our table looked really good— most of ours looked pretty elementary lol. But the experience is still fun. Bigger issues is that the layout of the studio makes it kind of hard to see the speaker— but they will move around the room to repeat themselves and assist you. The tiles need to be baked to make the blue paint stay and that’s tricky if you’re traveling like us. So some of our paint has scratched off. But they do give you packing materials to keep the tiles safe till you get home.
Sheila_R, May 2026
A very well organised workshop. The task seemed daunting to begin with but it was broken down into steps and the lady who was running it made it really clear what to do, and how to fix mistakes!
The time flew by. Would recommend the workshop!
Nune_S, May 2026
Very non stressful. Really no skill required. Just attention and listening to the instructions. We also developed good camaraderie in the group.
Tricia_M, May 2026
This workshop was so much fun. I was very hesitant about my abilities to paint but PS was very patient and did a great job explaining the process.
Gina_Z, May 2026
Awesome, just a great way to make a souvenir from another country. Workshop was easy, think the hour and a half is good time frame. Host PS1 WAS EXCELLE T
Tara_O, May 2026
We decide to try the tile painting activity for something different and to add a creative break into our trip. I had also read reviews that it was good for kids. Overall I think the teacher and staff were very well organized and did a great job explaining the craft and helping. While they made it as easy as possible by providing “stencils” for the pictures, it was still a bit difficult for my 11 year old to finish on time even though she chose a simple design and she wasn’t as excited about/ proud of her takeaway as I had hoped. I’d recommend for anyone who has an art background or at least a steady hand or ability to appreciate one’s shortcoming while trying something new! It was definitely the most unique part of our trip!
