Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Overall, this was a great activity and one of my favorite moments in Istanbul. You get an education on the history of mosaics in Turkey while enjoying the hands on, creative activity and making a wonderful souvenir in the process. The staff also offers plenty of tea, coffee, cookies and water during the workshop. What impressed me the most is that they had run out of US plug adapters for the lamp the day of my workshop, but arranged to bring one the following morning to my hotel for me. Very above and beyond, and much appreciated! Definitely don’t miss this activity when in Istanbul.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

мы были на мастер-классе с друзьями в день моего рождения. Весь мастер-класс был только для нас! Кафе очень уютное и организаторы сделали все что бы нам было удобно и комфортно! Азиз хорошо знает русский язык, интересно рассказывает и обладает отличным чувством юмора. В конце мастер-класса ждут очень приятные подарки. Все было здорово, продолжайте в том же духе!

Turkish Tile - Ceramic Art Workshop review

The workshop was fantastic! We were helped well and we were allowed to do whatever we wanted whenever we wanted. It was relaxing and fun. We were treated very hospitably and were constantly offered something to drink. The self-shaped tile was nicely placed in a frame and well packed. Our rating is definitely a 10/10, highly recommended!

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

It was fun to be able to make coffee myself and learn the intricacies, and have a little souvenir to take home. It felt a bit rushed as our guide was late. However, he did give a lot of helpful advice for getting around Istanbul at the end.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Learned so much about the history and culture of coffee in Turkey and two methods for making it. The fortune telling component was super fun as well. Our instructor was friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable. He made it such a fun experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique activity to learn more about the people and culture of Turkey.

People at the workshop are very approachable, helpful and friendly. It’s a real relaxing experience. The workshop is situated in a purposely built trendy cafe and you can relax in the cafe whilst waiting for your ‘artwork’ to dry. Good fun for the whole family!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Очень понравился мастер-класс по изготовлению светильников. Мастер-класс был приобретен для ребенка 10 лет. У нее не возникло никаких трудностей. Наоборот, ей было интересно придумать собственный узор для лампы и потом воплотить его с помощью цветных стекол. В основном мастер класс проходил на английском, но параллельно нам переводили на русский непонятные моменты из истории подобных светильников. Ещё могу сказать, что сам мастер класс проходил в очень интересном кафе: там интересная обстановка, наполненная вещами, которые интересно разглядывать. Часть кафе расположена в помещении, а часть на улице. Пока ребенок занимался лампой нам были предложены вода, чай и кофе. В общем, мы обязательно вернёмся в это кафе, что бы поучаствовать в другом мастер-классе. Или просто выпить кофе.

Très bonne expérience :) le cadre est chaleureux et les animateurs de l’atelier sont très sympas. Nous avons eu un petit historique de la création des lampes. Les animateurs nous ont donné des conseils sur nos réalisations, bref c’est une super expérience avec un souvenir chouette.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Отличный мастер-класс! Большое спасибо, все очень понравилось. Очень интересно было послушать об истории создания мозаичной культуры в Турции. Сам процесс изготовления- как, своего рода, медитация. Успокаивает и дарит радость. Всем рекомендую!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Очень понравился данный мастер класс! Несмотря на то, что гид был англоговорящим, мы друг друга прекрасно понимали! (хотя мы не очень хорошо знаем английский). Мустафа прекрасный человек, с которым выдался интересный диалог. Было очень интересно создавать лампы! Все получились красочными и яркими. Спасибо за потрясающие воспоминания! Теперь свет ламп будет нам напоминать о тепле и уюте турецкого народа.

Спасибо за такой прекрасный мастер класс! Было очень интересно и познавательно. Азиз потрясающий и эрудированный молодой человек, с которым общение становится очень приятным и комфортным. А главное - мы научились варить обалденный кофе! А так же, было очень приятно получить подарок после мастер класса, спасибо!
