Arrive at the wooden shoe workshop in Zaanse Schans. You'll be greeted by your host, who will take you to a private workshop space on the ground floor. Choose from 3 types of wooden shoe souvenirs to paint. Your host will explain to you the basic rules of painting a wooden shoe.

During the workshop you will get some more insights and information about the history and practical use of wooden shoe painting. Enjoy your drinks, Dutch cookies and sweets during the workshop.

Special quick-drying paint is used to paint your own wooden shoe. This means that you can take your wooden shoe home half an hour after the workshop is finished.
