Workshop Delfts blue painting
Join a tile painting workshop at Heinen Delfts Blauw, one of the largest producers of Delft Blue pottery in the Netherlands. Delft Blue painting is an ancient craft passed down from master painter to apprentice. It’s not something you can learn at an academy, but a unique experience you can enjoy at Heinen Delfts Blauw. During the ‘tile painting’ workshop, you’ll learn all about the craft and create your own hand-painted Delft Blue tile.
The ‘tile painting’ workshop is a special experience where you’ll work under the guidance of an experienced master painter. It doesn’t matter if you have a lot or little experience with painting; everyone is welcome to participate. You have the option to create your own design or choose from one of the many templates available. Prefer some assistance with your design? Our master painter is ready to help and offer advice.
During the workshop, you’ll discover the essence of a typical Delft Blue decoration. The correct use of paint, water, and brush strokes is essential to create an authentic tile. The workshop begins with an explanation of the techniques, which you will then practice extensively. Once you’ve mastered the techniques, you’ll paint your own tile, and by the end of the workshop, you’ll have gained valuable experience and learned everything about the art of Delft Blue painting.
The workshops are held at our stores in Amsterdam, Delft, or at our headquarters in Putten. Book your spot now and experience the magic of Delft Blue painting for yourself!
