    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    It was a nice experience to create a turkish mosaik lamp. We had a big sortiment of colorful mosaikpieces. Besides that, the cafeshop which was inside the workshop was a hidden Gem! I can highly recomend that activity to make new friends and new lamps :)

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Bunyamin created a wonderful experience you should not miss when you come to Istanbul and would like to do something a little more creative!He even picked me up from the European side and then invited me into his workshop where I felt warmly welcomed! He gave a very nice introduction into mosaics and then I had plenty of time to create my lamp design. He always gave advice when needed and offered plenty of tea, which I almost forgot because I zoned out! I really enjoyed the experience and highly recommend it for individuals and groups alike! I'm looking forward to trying another experience with him!Teşekkür ederim for having me.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    What a great host, Ben was so thoughtful as to meet us near our location to escort us to the venue, a super, buzzing cafe atmosphere where, within our own private area, he guided us through the history and process of this activity, the creation of a super mosaic glass lamp to take home with us! Such fun, good company and lots of tea and Turkish coffee to help us along, a really super activity and Ben is such a knowledgable, friendly host, thoroughly recommend

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Bunyamin was a fantastic instructor and host. He played awesome music and talked to us a lot. We were able to ask him all those questions we have when visiting another place, especially one so different from our own. Other than that, the material available was great and high quality - he's the one that cuts the glasses we use! We were also offered tea and a delicious coffee. We did it as a (late) Valentine's day date and now we have two gorgeous lamps to decorate our house with, plus all the nice memories from the workshop. Highly recommend this experience!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Our experience was incredible! Our guide, Ali, went above and beyond. He picked us up in Fatih and whisked us away to his workshop. He was incredibly attentive throughout the class, ensuring our lamps were perfect and dried quickly so we could catch our evening flight. This was hands-down the highlight of our trip to Istanbul. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this class – it's a must-do for anyone visiting the city!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Von Beginn bis zum Ende, habe ich mich sehr willkommen gefühlt. Bunyamin kümmert sich um dich nicht nur wie ein Kunde sondern wie ein Freund, der dir seine Kultur und Sicht der Dinge erklären möchte. Ich habe mich selten so wohl gefühlt in einer Umgebung und habe dazu auch noch eine wunderschöne Lampe bekommen, die ich selbst gemacht habe. Ich kann jedem diese Entdeckung wärmstens empfehlen.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    I definitely recommend this experience. There was a nice environment. There were many beautiful color options and Bünyamin helped us while choosing. Everything was very well organized and we designed our lamp very easily. After everything was finished, they offered us tea and we waited for it to dry. I’ve made not only an experience, but also a friend. Thank you for everything.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    From the moment we arrived we were greeted with the warm hospitality and genuine insights into Istanbul's cultural vibe. The workshop took place in a cozy and authentic coffee shop, which created a friendly and comfortable atmosphere that boosted our creativity. With the tips and tricks the host has guided us with, I could immerse in the beauty and artistry of making traditional Turkish mosaic lamp with full on inspiration. This airbnb experience was a truly exceptional and beautiful way to feel the oriental vibe of the city and make a unique souvenir to take back home. Highly recommended!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Must do once-in-a-lifetime experience. Bünyamin welcomed us very warmly. The experience started with a presentation. Then Bünyamin guided us as we made our own design. There were more than 30 color options and they were all prepared well. We felt very comfortable while making our lamp. In the end they packed it nicely and I had no problems taking it home. Thanks Bünyamin and Fabrikafa Team.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    I had a pleasure of participating in traditional mosaic lamps making workshop and experience in Uskudar, Istanbul. Since I booked with my friends from Istanbul, as locals we were very interested to see the presentations - and all of us left the workshops happy and with our own unique lamps! The warm lighting and comfortable seating arrangements fostered a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The staff's friendly and attentive service added to the informal yet respectful vibe in the space. It was such a marvellous way to spend time with your friends, while meeting new people from all over the world!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    This experience is an absolute must-do, worth every penny! The hosts are incredibly responsive and attentive, making the entire process a breeze. I booked it as a surprise for my friend, who had never ventured off the beaten path in Istanbul before, and we were both blown away. The workshop itself was fantastic, and we even got to take home our very own handmade lamp - a truly unique souvenir. Compared to buying a lamp from the Grand Bazaar for a similar price, this workshop offers a one-of-a-kind piece with a personal touch. We were thrilled with the outcome, and it was such a joy to create something with our own hands. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone - it's a fun and memorable activity that you simply must try at least once!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    I cannot recommend this mosaic lamp experience enough! It was truly one of the most enjoyable and enlightening activities I've ever taken part in.Not only was it incredibly enjoyable, but we also gained a wealth of knowledge. Our guide, Bunyamin, was fantastic, sharing his personal experiences to make the event even more engaging and personalized. Me and my friend made a colorful lamp for our house and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Fun and authentic experience and really cool that you get to take home something you make. Bunyamin prepared a template of mosaic patterns, 30+ colors of mosaics and many containers of different colored beads for the lamp, and then I learned how to adhere them to the glass bulb. I’m really happy with how the lamp turned out and am super excited to use my lamp at home.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    What an incredible and creative experience this was! The concept is truly unique and one-of-a-kind, and the atmosphere of the workshop was warm and inviting, with a friendly and knowledgeable staff that made us feel right at home. We loved learning about the fascinating background and history of these stunning mosaic lamps before diving into the creative process ourselves. Making our own lamps was an absolute blast - with plenty of guidance and tips provided along the way to ensure that our designs turned out just as we had envisioned. We were so excited to bring our beautiful lamps home as souvenirs, and they will serve as a constant reminder of the amazing memories we made during our trip. This workshop was a definite highlight of our Istanbul adventure, and we cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone looking for a truly unique and unforgettable experience.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    I am delighted to say that this experience was hands down my favorite activity in Istanbul so far! From start to finish, everything was simply outstanding. Communication was excellent, and Bunyamin even went out of his way to meet us on the European side of the city and transport us quickly to the Asian side. The host was incredibly friendly, and the workshop had a fantastic atmosphere. When we arrived, everything was ready and waiting for us to dive right in. Bunyamin gave us an overview of the history of the lamps and then showed us how to make them - but the best part was that we were free to express our creativity in any way we wanted (all while sipping delicious coffee or tea, of course!). This experience was an excellent opportunity to tap into our inner artists and create a unique and meaningful Turkish souvenir. Overall, I absolutely loved every moment of it and highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Istanbul.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    The Turkish lamp workshops provided the group with informative insight into the interactions of art, culture, and identity of one of the oldest art and craft practices in this hectic contemporary world. I had a slight fear that my lapm will end up discovering my non-art personality, but with the overall interactive vibe of the presentation and genuine help of the instructor I actually ended up with the new interior design addition for my living room. Big thanks to Fabri team for evoking the inner artist in me!

    All the recommendations for this traditional Turkish coffee making experience! The aroma of freshly brewed coffee enhanced the sensory experience, making me feel relaxed and like at home. I especially enjoyed and laughed a lot in the last chapter of the workshop - future telling from the little tiny Turkish cup! It was awesome!

    Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

    The newest addition to the workshop program, the stained glass souvenir making workshop, offered us a hands-on experience in creating stunning and personalized souvenirs inspired by Turkish art and design. Overall, Fabrikafa Make and Coffee provided a one-of-a-kind opportunity to engage with Turkey's cultural heritage in a creative and interactive way! We loved this place and after experiencing 2 different workshop, Fabri is now one of our favourite chill cafes on Asian side.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    아시아 지구에 있는 공방 겸 카페에 방문해서 차와 커피를 마시며 나의 모자이크 램프를 만드는 데 온전히 집중할 수 있는 경험이었습니다.호스트는 모자이크 램프에 대한 프레젠테이션 또한 준비하고 마실것과 활동 중간중간 세심한 조언을 아끼지 않았습니다.또한 호스트와 게스트를 넘어서 친구 혹은 가이드가 되어줄 준비가 되어있는 모습이 인상적이었습니다. 누군가 이스탄불에 간다면 추천하고 싶은 경험이었습니다.
