Really enjoyed this Workshop. The Host was really kind and explained everything very well. If I had enough time I would have done the Mosaic lamp as well. Will come back! Also really nice café!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Highly recommended. Pick-up was going well, took some 20 min to get there (from European side of Istanbul), nice place, well organized, great experience, kind and lovely people. Next time we will go for a coffee workshop, which we had the pleasure to listen too at the same time. And last but not least, a nice piece from holidays, not bought but made - is different.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Мы приехали в Стамбул компанией друзей и хотели не только посмотреть город, но и попробовать что-то еще, поэтому выбрали мастер-класс. В нем участвовала не только наша группа, но и другие туристы, что добавило интереса к творческому процессу. Ведущий говорил на анлийском и русском, рассказал об истории создания светильнисков, показал приеммы - что и как делать. Все происходило в дружеской обстановке за чашкой турецкого чая. Красивые лампы получились у всех. Особенный момент, когда только что сделанная твоими руками лампа зажигается и превращается в чудо. Эта лампа - замечательный сувенир, который будет долго напоминать о поездке. Спасибо большое организаторам!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Definitely a must-do! We really enjoyed the workshop. Mustafa is a really kind and accommodating guide/instructor. He picked us up and was there for us during the whole workshop. He introduced us to Mosaik while not pressuring or giving too much instructions - we really enjoyed the time and are happy about the results! 🥰💡 The price is totally justified in my opinion: a 3hr workshop including pickup, hosting with coffee & tea and the material. Go for it! 😊

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

This was a great fun activity for the afternoon. We were taken on the metro to the Asian side and made lamps in a group of 8 people at the location, which was well designed and equipped . It was really fun and memorable to make a personalised lamp design and we all have an excellent souvenir to take home

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

We had a fantastic time. The workshop was well organised and it certainly helped having a range of templates to use if you could not come up with your own design. The team provided fabulous guidance which was appreciated, It was a unique experience to do in Turkey. The piece created was priceless to me.

We came for this master class for the first time and would be happy to extend this experience! The process of stained glass drawing is quite easy, and the teacher is helpful! We absolutely enjoyed the event! You get your drawing dried and packed within an hour after you finish drawing. They are very careful and attentive to all visitors! The guide is speaking perfect English (some other languages also available). Many thanks for our pleasure!!!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Давно хотела купить себе турецкий мозаичный светильник, в Интернете случайно увидела мастер-класс по изготовлению. Было очень интересно сделать светильник своими руками. Привезла домой это чудо, теперь он радует меня дома. Спасибо большое!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Die Herstellung der Mosaiklampen war super schön. Mustafa, unser Guide, hat uns am vereinbarten Treffpunkt pünktlich abgeholt, um dann mit uns gemeinsam zum Workshop zu fahren. Er hat es richtig toll erklärt, war total sympathisch und nett und es hat ganz viel Spaß gemacht diese Lampen selbst zu gestalten. Am liebsten würden meine Tochter und ich gleich noch eine machen. Auf jeden Fall können wir diesen Workshop weiterempfehlen. 5 Sterne +

Super fun activity to do while in Istanbul! Our instructor Mustafa was incredibly nice and guided us through the metro to get to the workshop and even gave us directions on how to get back. The workshop itself was really straightforward and you have tons of creative freedom to design your lamp however you want with sooo many colors to choose from!! 10/10 on everything, highly recommend checking them out!!

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Amazing experience with Mustafa! We met at the Sirkeci meeting point outside the Hafiz Mustafa promptly, before travelling across the Bosphorus to the Asian side at Uskudar which is a fantastic neighbourhood, full of independant, small family run businesses. It seemed like Istanbul's Art District which we were happy to stick around after our experience. Mustafa was incredibly knowledgeable and took his time to answer questions throughout, made the experience fun as well as the whole team's hospitality throughout. The only negative (which is a very small one) is that the Glass Mosaic Workshop takes place on the table next to us and there was a particularly loud group where at times I couldn't hear Mustafa's presentation or guidance. Nonetheless I left with a big smile on my face (not just because of the strong coffee!) but learned something new and important with the skill of making a Traditional Turkish Coffee. Thank you Mustafa!

Ходили на мастер класс с детьми 8 и 11 лет. Все остались довольны! Было не скучно, уютно и увлекательно всем. Лампы получились на хорошем уровне у всех, не то что бывает - у взрослых аккуратно, у детей кривовато-у всех вышло отлично! Рекомендую, не пожалеете!
