    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Te-ai întrebat vreodată cum poți captura o amintire, o emoție sau un moment special într-o sticlă? Acum ai șansa să înveți cum să creezi parfumul perfect, unic și personal, care îți reflectă personalitatea și stilul de viață. Acest workshop nu este doar o ocazie de a învăța tehnici și metode, ci o călătorie profundă în lumea subtilă a aromelor. Vei explora cum fiecare ingredient poate transforma o simplă esență într-o operă de artă. Ghidat de un expert parfumier ( D-nul Tuna , pe care-l și salutam cu ocazia aceasta) , vei învăța cum să alegi notele de bază, de mijloc și de vârf pentru a crea o compoziție echilibrată și armonioasă. În cadrul acestui atelier, nu vei crea doar un parfum – vei da naștere unei părți din tine, capturând în esență trăsăturile care te definesc. Fiecare picătură va spune o poveste unică. Parfumul meu , creat de mine astăzi l-am numit “ No name” , este unic și-l ador. Mulțumim întregii echipe, sunteți minunați și recomand tutor să vă treacă pragul cu bucurie

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    The best Turkish coffee workshop in Istanbul! 🇹🇷✨ I spent a wonderful afternoon learning the secrets of authentic coffee from the master Ali. ☕ From grinding the beans to fortune telling in the grounds, it was a 5-star experience! If you're in Üsküdar, don't miss this workshop! ps: even without the workshop, it's worth coming here just to have a coffee on their chill terrace.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    This activity was one of the best things I’ve done during my travels. If you’re looking at booking it, just do it! Not only is this incredibly affordable for what you get (a beautiful lamp, guide through public transport if on European side, endless tea, coffee, water and biscuits), but the staff are amazing! So approachable, helpful, funny and entertaining. They create such a fun atmosphere and get everyone laughing and talking while creating their beautiful lamps!

    Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

    It was a very fun activity to do. The people are lovely and make you feel very welcome and comfortable. You get a bit of history before you start and learn the right techniques to make a beautiful art work. I recommend this to do this alone or with a small group of friends/family. Also the location is on the asian side of Istanbul and it is beautiful!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    **A Unique and Creative Experience in Istanbul!** Our family recently participated in a Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop in Istanbul, and it was one of the highlights of our trip! The workshop allowed us to design and craft our own mosaic glass lamps, offering a hands-on way to connect with the local culture. The session was well organized, with a knowledgeable instructor guiding us through each step. He provided all the materials and helpful tips to make our designs stand out. The atmosphere was relaxed and inspiring, making the process enjoyable for everyone. The final product is a beautiful handcrafted lamp that we’ll cherish as a memento of our time in Istanbul. The instructor's passion for his craft was evident, and he even took great care in wrapping our lamps securely for easy transport home. This workshop is a must do for anyone looking to create a unique and lasting memory of their visit to Istanbul. It’s a perfect blend of creativity, culture, and fun!

    We would like to thank the workshop representatives , especially Mustafa, for a valuable experience of immersion into such unique technique. We were impressed about the hospitality and caring attention to each participant, as well as the process of decorating the lamp itself. Very nice place, wonderful people and hilarious kittens!

    It was a great afternoon. The instructor met us on the European side and took us through which was really helpfull. I had an 11 yr old and teenager with me and they both enjoyed the production process +++ we get to take a lamp home! It is also opportunity to explore a cute 'modern' neighbourhood.
