FAQ
Good questions, honest answers
The things people most often ask before booking a workshop.
Do I need any experience?
Not at all. Every workshop is beginner friendly and led with lots of encouragement. Most of our students are first-timers!
Do I need to bring anything?
No — all materials, tools, and packaging are provided. Just wear comfortable clothes.
How long are the workshops?
Most sessions run 2 hours, which includes setup, instruction, making time, and packaging your creations. You'll leave with finished products at the end of the workshop.
Where do workshops take place?
We rent a space in Amsterdam-Oost: Heart-Garden Waffles & Coffee, Czaar Peterstraat 74. It's easily accessible by public transport (tram 1, 26 or Bus 42). If you are coming by car, there is paid parking on the street or ParkBee & Qpark nearby.
What language are workshops in?
All our public workshops are in English. I speak Dutch as well, so if you want a private event in Dutch that is possible as well.
Can I book a private event for a group?
Yes! We host birthdays, baby showers, anniversaries, and team building or corporate events. Fill in the private events form and we'll tailor a session for your group.
What's your cancellation policy?
We understand plans change. Cancel at least 7 days before the workshop for a full refund. Cancellations within 7 days are non-refundable, but you're welcome to transfer your spot to a friend. Contact us and we'll help you figure out the best option.
What happens if a workshop is cancelled by Sparkling Mosaic?
We need a minimum number of participants to run each workshop. If we don't reach that number, we'll cancel the session and offer you a full refund or a spot on an alternative date — whichever works best for you.
Can I give this as a gift?
Absolutely — gift cards are available and make a lovely, memorable present. They can be used for any workshop and are valid for 12 months.
Are the ingredients safe for sensitive skin?
We use natural, skin-loving ingredients and avoid harsh chemicals. However, if you have specific allergies, please contact us before booking so we can change ingredients.
Is there parking available?
Street parking is available in the area (paid 24 hours). Nearby parking garages include ParkBee and Qpark. We recommend public transport as it's more convenient and eco-friendly.
Can I customize my creation?
Yes! You can choose your favorite scents and customize your product with different fragrances and natural additions. Custom colors are available for some workshops too — it depends on the type of workshop, so check the details when booking.
How can I sign up for a workshop?
You can book directly through our website or Eventbrite. Simply choose your preferred date, complete the booking, and you'll receive a confirmation with all the details.
Can I take my creations home right after the workshop?
Absolutely — you'll leave with your handmade products after the workshop. No waiting like in pottery or clay classes. Everything is packaged and ready to go.
Will I be able to make these at home after the workshop?
Yes! We sell DIY kits for select workshops so you can keep crafting at home. Just contact us and we'll help you get started.
