Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

What a wonderful activity, I thoroughly enjoyed it! Taking home your very own crafted lamp is super awesome! Met new people from different walks of life, shared experiences. Facilitator was warm and friendly, and pleasantly shared about Istanbul city and things to do. They even accommodated my partner by sharing wifi deets, coffee and cookies, even though he was there waiting for me :) Thank you for a memorable experience!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Очень интересно. Всегда мечтала иметь такую лампу, а тут сделала своими руками. Организатор внимательный и приятный в общении человек, всё понятно объяснил. Сначала говорил на английском для остальных участников, а потом повторял на русском для нас с мамой. Лампы получились замечательные. Даются и примеры узоров и можно придумывать что-то самостоятельно. Помогает советами, если спросишь. Мы поинтересовались его мнением насчёт выбора цвета для фона с учетом уже собранных разноцветных узоров. Тактично предложил и пояснил свой выбор. Мы воспользовались его советом и получилось прекрасно. Мне больше понравилось собирать сами узоры - элемент медитативности присутствует. Угостили чаем/кофе и печеньками. Время пролетело незаметно, хватило как раз: и на объяснения, и на работу, и на просушку. Спасибо за лампу, которая теперь светит у меня дома :)

Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

Our stained glass paintikg instructur, Eda, was very patient and kind. Hafiz, another instructor did a great job translating Turkish to English. And Esma was very helpful as she guided us, via the metro to Fabrika café, where the activity was held, without any problems. The activity itself is very theraputic and somewhat healing. You should definitely try this. Kendine iyi bak arkadaşlar. Joshua

Turkish Tile - Ceramic Art Workshop review

Amazing experience, absolutely to do in Istanbul. All is,perfectly organized and run smoothly. I met my group in the European side of the city and then moved to the shop which is based in the Asian side [only few minutes walking from Marmaray station]. I really enjoyed to paint my ceramic tile. Seyma assisted me all long the process providing me useful suggestions or solutions when I needed. Her nice conversation and large knowledge in artt and history made my experience great. I think this is a good way to meet local people and add some special memories to your travel. I regretted to do not have more time to spend there and try some other activity. Absolutely I recommend you to do not loose this experience visiting Istanbul.

Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

Me and my husband joined both stained glass painting and mosaic lamp workshop. We love both classes a lot. Our instructors from both workshop were super friendly and they were very patience with all their students. The workshop is at well pace and they offer unlimited tea/ coffee and small snacks. We spent total 6 hrs there (3 hrs for each class), but I think this is one of the most memorable part of my Turkey trip. As a side note, I originally wanted to book the mosaic lamp workshop only but I ended up booked the stained glass workshop. I told the staff there that I made the mistake and booked the wrong class, they were super accommodating by squeezing us into both class on same day. I really appreciated their hospitality. 5/5 stars

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Amazing activity - the hosts were exceptional, the place was beautiful, and the activity was extremely fun. Lovely to be able to walk away with a piece of Istanbul’s culture that you get to create yourself. A note that if you’re on the European side you’ll have to meet 30mins before the activity to get transportation to the Asian side as the activity takes place there. Not long, maybe a 10min journey but something to be aware of when making the booking! (And the transportation fee is covered).

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Great experience with Mustafa (Sorry if it is spelled wrong). We had a great pickup on the Eastern side and were escorted by metro to the location. It was just my family for the coffee tasting and everyone was super sweet to our young toddler. We learned so much about the history of coffee and then got to sample with some treats. It was about 2 hours and we had a delightful gift at the end. 10/10 recommend for a unique Turkish experience. Thank you!

Perfume Making Workshop review

A very wholesome workshop! I had fun and would recommend doing workshops with this cafe 💯They run lots of other workshops too in their cafe and the venue is so cute! The organisers were all very nice and everything was great. If you are solo travelling, it’s also a great way to meet new people! It was also so amazing walking around the Asian side after, which I hadn’t visited before and you see much more locals there than tourists which is a bonus! The only thing i would say that could be improved is i wish the perfume smell lasted longer. However, despite that i loved the experience and would do it again!
