Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Excellent - Mustafa made everyone so comfortable and was so easy going and made the morning! We were a family of 5 with a 9 year old and two teenagers who all thoroughly enjoyed this fabulous experience. They also run a stained glass window option which looks excellent too! Highly recommend - you will not regret going!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Отличный душевный мастер-класс. Понравился всем - и дочке 10 лет и даже мужу, который не очень любит что-то делать руками. Было весело, дружно и отлично провели время. Спасибо!

My favourite activity in Türkiye so far. I learned so much, I love my lamp! I really appreciated Esma coming to meet us and guiding us to the workshop. It's those little acts of kindness that make all the difference. Thank you Esma and Aziz.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

The workshop was one of my favorite activities during our Honeymoon! We were picked up by an employee on the European side in Sirkeci before we went together to the Asian side to Üsküdar. The workshop takes place in a small café which has a kind of crafting area. The instructor spoke good and fluent English so there was no problem understanding him. We received a short introduction and were then able to pre-design the lamp according to our ideas. We had a pleasant exchange with him throughout the whole process. When we had questions, he always gave us a friendly answer. We are looking forward to putting our lamps in our apartment. Highly recommend it to everyone. 10/10

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Mustafa and the team at Fabrikasi were great! Since before the workshop they made sure we received all the useful information in order to get there and enjoy fully without any worry. Mustafa kindly gave us a brief chat explaining the history behind the lamps and then he was carefully supervising and advising us, always with a big smile! Will defensively come back! Thank you for the amazing experience! Lamps look great :)

I expected it to be more detailed and look like a real Turkish lamp but it looked more like play school art class with the finished look.

So much fun!!! I am sure I put way too much thought into what my pattern was going to be but being a crafty person it was a perfect class! Our instructor was fun and offered us tea and coffee and any extra items we needed that we were running low on. I absolutely would take another class with this company.
