    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    It was super fun!! My sister and i were in a group of 6 and our guide Mustafa was so knowledgeable about the history of turkish lamps, very good at explaining the process and also very funny:) We're very happy with the lamps we made, totally recommend if you want to create your very own beautiful lamps!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    I am not artistic but felt comfortable creating my lamp with support and encouragement from Mustafa. I can recommend this workshop for anyone who wants to do something different that also connects them to the country, test their creativity without pressure whilst in Istanbul.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop, it was insightful and very well-curated. Mustafa, who led the activity, did so with a lot of passion sprinkled with humour. A great hands-on experience, which I can't recommend enough.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    The workshop itself is wonderful. A girl (if you are reading this, sorry I forgot you name haha) pick us up from the European part of Istanbul to show us the way up to Fabricafa. During the workshop she was really paying attention on what we need, giving us pieces of advice and offering us any soft drink, tea or coffee (included in the workshop). Happy to be the first Peruvian costumer! Definitely will recommend this to my friends.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    The guide waited for us at meeting point and took us to their art room. Very friendly and helpful guide. I had a lot of fun making my own Turkish lamp. Guidance was clear and helpful. Your lamp is wrapped and you can take it home. A must do in Istanbul even if you are not artistic you cannot fail. I would recommend that a package is made available for clients to buy diy sets to make at home. I would have loved to buy more to finish at home. I see there are places with diy packages available.

    una delle esperienze in assoluto più simpatiche e di valore fatte durante il nostro soggiorno ad Istanbul! complimenti vivissimi a tutto il gruppo di ragazze, e di ragazzi, che hanno messo su, e portano avanti, con entusiasmo, questa iniziativa fantastica! sarete "artisti" per un pomeriggio, e avrete la possibilità di portare a casa la lampada decorata con le vostre mani! Consigliatissimo

    Great activity, but some details would have helped like meet outside the meeting point (it was a shop). Finding your own way back, would be very daunting for the unseasoned traveller

    perfect - the only suggestion would be to give better direction on where the ferry is to get back and how to buy a ticket as an American - we had trouble figuring it out. but other than that - amazing class and we are excited to make Turkish coffee at home.

    This was a great activity that I wouldn't have done elsewhere. The instructor was super friendly and I got lucky on this occasion as I was the only one doing the stain glass painting so I had a one to one session.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Der Workshop hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Es gibt viele verschiedene Farben und Vorlagen, die zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Die Lampe darf jedoch nicht im Handgepäck mitgenommen werden, da der obere Teil als Waffe genutzt werden kann. Diese Information wäre vor Ort gut gewesen, da dies zu Schwierigkeiten am Flughafen geführt hat. Zum Glück war der Koffer noch nicht abgegeben.
