    Great for couples

    The Kintsugi workshop was a great experience. Puzzling and slowly creating something beautiful and unique. The location is very interesting and Annelies is very helpful and knowledgeable.

    Great activity!

    Annelies was very nice and welcoming. We had a fun time learning about kintsugi and will definitely be applying it to something at home. She had items that we broke for the activity and it proabablyneoukdve been fun to bring one of our own to fix. Definitely would recommend!

    Response from the operator: Karen, Thank you for your positive review and your recommendation. It was a pleasure to see you working with such focus, resulting in a beautiful final outcome. Kind regards, Annelies

    Avoid Annelies Nuy workshops

    Attended the Kintsugi workshop with Annelies Nuy in Amsterdam. Annelies is a arrogant artist who thinks she is "mindful" but she is anything but, thinking she is superior to others. She made totally inappropriate remarks, raised her voice and ruined the entire experience. We left the workshop in full frustration...

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. I understand that the situation was frustrating for you and that the experience did not meet your expectations. Our workshops are specifically designed for adults, partly due to the use of sharp shards and high-quality materials. The booking was made for two people, but you arrived with three, including a child. Unfortunately, we were unable to accommodate this without compromising the safety and experience of the other participants. It was never my intention to make anyone feel uncomfortable, but rather to ensure that the workshop ran smoothly and safely for everyone. I regret that this was perceived as unpleasant and hope that you will find an experience elsewhere that better suits your needs.

    A wonderful creative afternoon in a cool independent art gallery

    I surprised my girlfriend with this workshop for her birthday and it was the perfect experience! Annelies gave a lot of guidance throughout and we came away with some really great results too. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a unique creative activity and with steady hands ;)

    Kintsugi Workshop "The art of Imperfection": questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amsterdam.

    How much does Kintsugi Workshop "The art of Imperfection" cost?

    +

    Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Amsterdam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Kintsugi Workshop "The art of Imperfection" take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Amsterdam is not rushed.

    Is Kintsugi Workshop "The art of Imperfection" worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Amsterdam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Kintsugi Workshop "The art of Imperfection"?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Kintsugi Workshop "The art of Imperfection" suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Kintsugi Workshop "The art of Imperfection"?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Amsterdam can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Amsterdam and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Kintsugi Workshop "The art of Imperfection" start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Amsterdam within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Amsterdam?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Amsterdam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Amsterdam Canal Cruise with Local Guide and Small Group, Guided Bike Tour of Amsterdam's Highlights & Hidden Gems, Amsterdam: Luxury Canal Cruise including Cocktails & Snacks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Amsterdam?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Amsterdam?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
