You receive a certificate once you’ve made them which is a nice touch. Also, they provided tea, coffee & water and there are clean toilets. Book it! Considering they are charging 13 euros at van wondren per waffle it’s definitely worth the money!”

Definitely give it a miss 👎🏻”

Zaanse Schans: Wooden Shoe Painting Workshop

Zaanse Schans: Wooden Shoe Painting Workshop - Picking your wooden shoe: what you choose and why it changes everything

13.Zaanse Schans: Wooden Shoe Painting Workshop

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 23 reviews · from $34

Paint a Dutch wooden shoe in Zaanse Schans with quick-dry paint, snacks and drinks, and a take-home souvenir in 90 minutes.

“Provide a wooden blank and acrylic paints, then you can do a workshop. The blanks were not primed and the final work was not given a final gloss. Everything looked dull. There is only one shoe to paint for decorative purposes. Tough luck if you make a mistake. There are ideas on site but no stencils for the inexperienced. Instructions only in English. As I have been painting myself for over 20 years, I brought various skills with me. For beginners, the result can ultimately be disappointing. Atmosphere was relaxed, music too loud. There were drinks and cookies for refreshment. You don't learn any background information or techniques for painting…”

We had a fantastic day and would recommend this activity to everyone!”
