Itinerary
You get a joint explanation and demonstration of how clogs are made, both manually and with the machine. All tricks of the trade are explained and everyone gets the opportunity to make a wooden shoe from a block of wood per person (from 4 people). Moreover, everyone can also engrave their own semi-finished product.
The workshop is physically demanding, which is why this workshop includes painting a blank beer opener. You can of course also choose to finish your own wooden shoe.
At the end of the workshop, you will be given a tour of the cheese farm. This includes tastings of all types of cheese, Dutch biscuits, and fruit wine. Total duration approximately 2 hours, of which approximately 1.5 hours making and engraving clogs.
Food and drinks can be purchased in the restaurant.

The guy doing demo knows our language. He was very patient in our queries. Nice to see how shoes and cheese are made. The staff inside are very accomodating. Ended up buying shoes and most of all , lots of those Gouda cheese.

it was interesting to experience using traditional tools to make a clog but too much time was needed and we were definitely not able to finish one in the allocated time. we were allowed to switch to painting a clog-shaped bottle opener halfway so we could at least bring a small souvenir home.

Vandaag met vriendinnen de workshop klompen maken gedaan. We vonden het allemaal geweldig! Het kostte wat fysieke inspanning, maar zeker de moeite waard.
De sfeer was zeer gastvrij, de workshop geefster (Huug) echt een heel tof mens. Ze deed het vol enthousiasme en werkte hard het ons naar de zin te maken. Ik zou dit echt aanbevelen
