Excellent experience,...

Excellent experience, would highly recommend. Suitable for all levels of painting; I'm useless and my partner is fairly competent and both really enjoyed. We picked templates of suitable difficulty and were guided through how to create our own unique souvenir from Amsterdam

Excellent experience with the Delft Tile Workshop! Everyone was patient and pleasant. Did not think I was able to create the tile I did prior to starting. Would have liked the workshop to have been a touch longer, but regardless am excited to come back next time we are in the Netherlands!
