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

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!
Carla_R, Aug 2026
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!

Hillary_P, Jul 2026
A nice and relaxing activity that I attended alone. Was very well put together with demonstrations, history and a nice vlean studio space. Very good way to spend an hour or so.
Deanna_B, Jul 2026
Enjoyed this very much! The staff was kind and knowledgeable and very supportive.. would definitely recommend to a friend!!!

I booked this tour with my 2 teenage daughters. We loved it. It was something different to do in Amsterdam and you end up with a pretty cool souvenir. Our host was lovely and explained everything well. I saw some people said they didn’t have enough time, but we had plenty. The key is to choose your design immediately - think about it before you go. Highly recommend this activity!
Susanna_V, Jul 2026
Painting was so much fun and the supervisor was full of energy and she caught us into the painting experience! Painting itself were more difficult than I thought before!
anne_c, Jul 2026
Took a while to find! Very relaxing and everyone enjoyed the experience. Could have done with a little more time and a slower explanation.
Britney_G, Jul 2026
Nice activity. Very knowledgeable instructor. The paint brush bristles were not fine enough so it was challenging to paint a semi intricate design. We ran out of time and did not have an opportunity to do the “wash painting.”
Rachel_b, Jul 2026
The tile painting workshop was fun and challenging. The staff were very helpful and explained all steps well. Instructions were easy to follow
Sean_D, Jul 2026
This was such fun, the ladies were very polite and helpful, explaining every step. Enra was the instructor and she was funny and made the experience fun for everyone. We got to take home our tile in a lovely box the same day, you get it when your session is finished. I would highly recommend this experience, it is not over priced as some of these things tend to be.
Caroline_K, Jul 2026
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!
Rachel_L, Jul 2026
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.
Jacqueline_W, Jul 2026
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.
Tember_A, Jul 2026
Fun experience with family, instructors were great! Nice souvenir from our family vacation. Good conversations and learned a little history.

We had a fabulous time and the two tutors were patient and very helpful
Kelsey_L, Jun 2026
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
MARGRET_T, Jun 2026

Maureen_R, Jun 2026
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.
