The workshop is easy to find, and they provide all the tools you need. Well instructions on how to do the tile painting. It was an amazing and fun experience! Highly recommended!
Peyaswani and Martina made painting our own tile so enjoyable! Their directions were so precise and easy to follow, everyone’s tile turned out beautifully. None of us (16 I think?) had any experience but honestly, our finished product was just gorgeous!
I attended with a friend I was travelling with from Canada, and our I my suggestion would be to offer a long class as well, maybe a whole afternoon? Because we just weren’t ready to be done! We totally recommend this workshop!!!!!
Great Time!! Loved it!! Hosts were great!! They explained everything so that the process was easy to follow.
Fun activity with no actual art experience required resulting in a personal souvenir to bring home and use.
So much fun even for non artists. My partner and I had a great time and the facilitator was incredible. Go and have easy and creative fun.
We had a wonderful time! There were tons of patterns to choose from and our instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful. We left with great souvenirs and a little more skill!
This was such a fun way to create a unique souvenir of our Amsterdam trip. The young women who ran the workshop were well organized and very helpful with their instructions. They have a ton of great patterns to choose from.
It was a great experience to learn about the craft and also experience a fun activity. My husband and I had a great time.
This is a fantastic and thorough tile painting experience. Very fun and I highly recommend this to anyone visiting or looking to fill some time in their day.
I was looking for a solo activity to do and this was perfect! Instructors were very kind and made the process a breeze. Now I have the coolest souvenir!
I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. It's well organised and well run. John explained the process well, and while we were working, gave us a "podcast style" history of the Delft tile. It was really interesting, good fun and very satisfying to do. All the tools are provided, plus templates and inspiration, but you can also do your own thing. The staff were all helpful and friendly. A really lovely, personal souvenir of our trip to Amsterdam.
Wonderful little studio where you learn how to paint the famous Dutch tiles! I love that I can take home a traditional souvenir that I made myself! The staff were lovely and helpful with reminders that’s it’s ‘not stressful and fun’ to paint!
Very welcoming. Great experience with a unique opportunity to experience local culture/influence. Highly recommend.
Great way to experience culture and history through art. The instructor Mai was excellent, the venue was nice and easy to find, the beverages and stroopwaffles were a nice touch. A must do!
We loved this. The lady that helped us was knowledgeable on the history and was very kind when helping us with our tiles.
Lovely ladies hosting and the experience was relaxing and I enjoyed it a lot. It made me feel like a local and not just a tourist
Wonderful workshop - just the right amount of time. We had a great time and our tiles turned out so well.
This was so much fun! Good instructions and fun music. Easy even if are not a painter. Loved having a nice momento of our trip!
It’s incredible how we were able to produce such a beautiful tile! The process is amazing, truly. My recommendation would be for the timing to be spelled out at the beginning. We were rushed to finish towards the end due to another class arriving as we left.
Painting these tiles was very fun, but it was difficult to complete in the allotted time, choose your design carefully! I enjoyed the challenge and loved learning about this tradition.
What an amazing experience! The instructors were so friendly and fun, and I loved the history lessons that came along with the class. 10/10 recommend! As a couple, with friends or alone like myself 🙂
Peyaswani and Mai created a great and welcoming atmosphere for a fun tile painting class. Great instruction and chat throughout for a workshop containing couple and families of all ages. I chose what ended up being a more intricate stencil and also struggled with the painting so I fell behind everyone else. I pretty much gave up but Peyaswani refused to let me go without a painted tile so she sat there and painted it for me, which was incredibly generous of her! For slower people and those who struggle, a bit more time would be welcome, but everyone else managed to achieve some really wonderful tiles so it's definitely more of a me problem. Great class
This was a fun experience in Amsterdam! Something unique and fun for my daughter and me! Great souvenir to take home!
Great experience- very good instructions and lovely tiles to take home at the end. Could have benefitted from a bit more time, but the instructor did a good job of keeping us on track at each stage.
A perfect afternoon painting the cutest tiles! I was worried with my low skill level mine wouldn’t turn out good, but with their help I looked like a professional!
This is a fun experience. You don’t have to know how to paint (I didn’t). Theres three steps and they help you with each one. There are designs prepared for you or you can create your own. Theres about 15-20 people so keep that in mind. I sat at a table of 8. They have some complementary drinks (water and coffee) and bathroom. For the price, I thought it was a great activity that moved beyond walking tours.
We LOVED this class!! A great way to learn dutch history while tile painting. It was fun and a great bonding experience with family! The staff was informative and friendly! Thank you!
Very relaxing, positive, comfortable and everyone left satisfied with their product. Sabrina and Erna were so polite, kept the conversation going and made us feel so welcome. Definitely a good way to spend a few hours and learn some history.
My 3 adult daughters participated in this activity & loved it! I think they went in feeling a bit insecure as to their artistic abilities, but they came out with beautiful tiles & they had a great time!
Facilitators are very attentive and interactive with everyone. I chose a difficult template but based off instruction, ended up being enjoyable and not bad. I enjoyed it!
