Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

The host picked us up on time from an easy to find meeting point and it was smooth getting to the location. The workshop was very fun and Bayzanur was very informative. The tea was delicious and so were the biscuits. It would have been a bit better if there was a range of biscuits to choose from. It was really great fun to make the lantern and it turned out very beautiful. I would highly recommend, a really fun way to spend an afternoon!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

The workshop went above and beyond our expectations. Our guide, Beyzanur was extremely welcoming and attentive. She explained the history of mosaics in Turkey and was clearly very enthusiastic about it! She was super helpful throughout the entire process and we were able to design and take home our beautiful lamps! Would definitely recommend this workshop to anyone looking for something fun to do in Istanbul😊

Ein toller Workshop. Lieber gestalte ich mir eine Lampe selbst, als mir einfach eine zu kaufen. Man konnte nach Vorlage gestalten oder seiner Kreativität freien Lauf lassen. Würde den Workshop besten Gewissens weiterempfehlen.
