Vrijgezellenfeest in Amsterdam, without the sashes

A vrijgezellenfeest that the bride or groom will actually enjoy. Book a studio privately for your group, make something together, and start the day with a proper story instead of a pub crawl.

Private sessions are yours alone, so the group can be as loud as it likes. Most people book a morning or afternoon workshop and go for lunch or drinks afterwards, and the thing you made goes home with you.

Your group only

Book the studio privately so nobody else is in the room.

Photos worth keeping

Flour everywhere, clay everywhere, everyone laughing. Better than a photo booth.

Central Amsterdam

Studios you can reach easily and combine with lunch, drinks or dinner nearby.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Request a private date

How many people can come to a vrijgezellenfeest workshop?

Six to twenty works well. Tell us your group size and we will match you to a studio that fits comfortably.

Can we bring drinks?

In most studios yes, and several artisans can arrange prosecco or wine for the group. Just ask when you request the date.

Do you have something for a mixed group?

Yes. Cooking and pasta making suit mixed groups best, ceramics and craft come a close second.

How far in advance should we book?

Weekend slots go first, so three to six weeks ahead is safest.
