In this 1.5-hour workshop, you’ll discover the story behind Delft Blue, a centuries-old Dutch tradition, and paint your own ceramic tile to take home as a personal and lasting souvenir of Amsterdam. No painting experience? No problem. With easy-to-follow examples and plenty of guidance, this hands-on session is perfect for beginners and creatives alike. Whether you're just curious or already love working with ceramics, this workshop offers a fun and relaxed introduction to this iconic craft. The workshop is held in our cozy atelier in the garden of my home, during sunny days we sit outside in the lovely garden. By the end, you’ll leave with your own hand-painted tile and a new appreciation for this beautiful piece of Dutch heritage.
This was a lovely class. There were 5 in attendance, the artist was delightful. None of the group considered themselves artistic but we all produced fantastic pieces.
This was such a fun and unique experience!! My husband and I had a blast and definitely recommend for anyone like us who prefers “non traditional” souvenirs!
It was a great expirience. We had a lot of fun and support. It al takes place in a private Household, so it was the very first tome for us "to look behind the curtains". Also a very nice and friendly atmosphere. We felt very welcome and i recommend it for everyone👍🤩 Thanks so much again
We loved the activity! Liesje was so kind and made the experience even better. Definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a fun time!
Great workshop! Liesje is very knowledgeable about the history of Delft Blue and makes it a lot of fun! Definitely recommend!
Liesje is a very welcoming, thoughtful and fun hostess. Everything was well organised, explained and prepared for us. My friend and I had a fantastic time creating our tiles, we didn't realise how time went by. Definitely recommend it!!!
This was so much fun and relaxing! Liesje is very warm and welcoming. Highly recommend this activity to anyone in Amsterdam.
We loved the experience of painting delft tiles. Our host was lovely and fun to spend time with. She gave us a quick orientation on the history of Delft painting and then shared samples and some instructions. We all got right to work and really enjoyed our time together, plus some snacks and music. The setting is wonderful in the host’s garden studio. Our family (ages 9, 20 and 45) all highly recommend! Perfect pause to break up busy days of sightseeing.
Such a wonderful and perfect pause in sightseeing to take some time to paint with our kids in a lovely garden studio setting. We learned about Delft tile painting and are so happy with the souvenirs we crafted. Lovely visit with our host who provided snacks and tips and photos!
I attended the workshop with 3 friends during our trip in Amsterdam. The host was very welcoming and the setting was very cosy, we immediately felt at home! Liesje gave an introduction to the history of Delftware and guided us through the art of tile painting. We had a great time and I would totally recommend this workshop!
We had a very nice experience at Liesje. She immediately put us at ease, the atmosphere was very friendly, she gave us professional, good tips and we went home with a nice result. Very much enjoyed, highly recommended!
Very nice activity with the girlfriends! Liesje provided a top experience, with super cute tiles 😍🤩! A somewhat rainy afternoon got a nice interpretation!
We had a very relaxing afternoon thanks to Liesje. We came with a group of friends to attend a workshop. We were able to experiment and be our creative selves. Liesje is an experienced cheerful lady, the perfect host. We will definitely be back!
It was a pleasant afternoon full of creativity and fun. We made a nice tile, where we could use handy templates that made designing extra easy and fun. The atmosphere was relaxed and everyone had a good time. The host was super nice and made sure everything went smoothly, which made the experience even more pleasant. All in all a successful activity!
It was a great experience and a lot of fun. We felt very welcome and were always motivated by the hostess as far as painting went. An additional plus was that the whole thing took place in a private household and we had the opportunity to look "behind the scenes". Thank you for this lovely afternoon!
