Schönes Ambiente und eine außergewöhnliche Aktivität!
Awesome experience!
Super Erlebnis und eine schöne Erinnerung
Top! Super leuke dag gehad! Hadden nog wel langer kunnen blijven zitten :)
Excellent activity and you go home with a handmade souvenir :). Great instructors. Thank you ladies!
The activity was well planned and very well presented. Martina showed the group how to create a traditional Dutch painted tile in stages. She, and her colleague, Peyaswani, were willing to answer any questions and provide assistance if required. Whilst we were painting, Martina provided us with a history of the art which we could follow on the historical panels on the wall. There was also a display of painted tiles enabling the visitor to choose their own design. I am not an artist however I found the activity to be ideal for a beginner, the artists / guides were happy to converse. Refreshments were provided. I will certainly return. Thank you.
Great!
This was so fun and wholesome! Loved it! Our guides were Malena and May, such lovely people! They give you loads of stencil options, with different levels of difficulty/detail depending on how confident you are with drawing and painting. 10/10 would recommend.
The activity was fun and easy to follow. Make sure to reach on time, as the location is actually around the corner from where it is mentioned. I felt accomplished and proud of my very own piece of Blue Delft Tile.
