Our team is comprised of genuinely gifted minds

The work of the blacksmith is one of the oldest trades in the world. What makes it unique is that almost all the work is done by hand.

Annelied

I am one of the first qualified female blacksmith in the Netherlands with a diploma awarded by the Guild of Art

Blacksmiths (Gilde van de Kunstsmeden). The trade is in my blood as I am the fifth generation in a family of blacksmiths. I am passionate about creating bold metallic shapes.

I enjoy the smell of the iron. When I forge, the material is like putty in my hands.

Off the beaten track: Hiking and spotting Wildlife in the Dutch Dunes

Hetty Versnel

It is fun to be a host for A Dutch Experience! A wonderful initiative for guides and good marketing tool for tours in the Netherlands. I was very happy with the beautiful movie made to promote my ‘Off the Beaten Track’ hike!

Born and raised in Amsterdam, I like to share my knowlegde and experience of the changes of this beautiful and vivid city. From all over the world people are finding their‎ way to Amsterdam. It is great showing them a custom made insight and open possibilities for an authentic experience. A Dutch Experience has a classic appearance and provides the right platform for finding interested people.

Gravity, random and rolling balls in Kinetic Art

Mark

My fascination for kinetic art started after my graduation in cello at the Conservatorium of Amsterdam. Although I still enjoy cello teaching, I felt the need to also develop my own ideas. As I like working with my hands, I started to build my own kinetic objects.

For a long time I was taught cello by Russian teachers. Their uncompromising dedication was extremely inspiring. Finishing was everything – tone, intonation, shape. Working on kinetic installations requires a different kind of effort but seriousness and commitment are essentially the same.

“I often ask myself the question why someone is touched by kinetic art? The answer is because we are people who eat, drink, sleep and make love. Unpredictability is part of the charm. People like to be surprised, be moved by an object whose idea is not unlocked at first glance.”

Take a walk Outside (the lines) with Piet Mondrian

When I heard what Dutch Experience was all about I directly found room in my schedule to become a host. Being a person that moved a lot I can now say it created this curiosity to experience the local culture and history of a country. And what a good way to offer this myself. Dutch Experience provides travelers and host to share! Glad to join.
