Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review
A fun activity!REVIEWS
Hear from our guests about their experiences in Istanbul Workshops. Personalized, engaging, and memorable.
A fun activity!I can just recommend to attend this activity! I took this workshop togerher with my daughter (13) and both of us had a perfect afternoon. Our guide/instructor, Ali was simply perfect: kind, informative, very communicative (you can reach him online anytime), caring and patient (even with us who unfortunately were significantly late😁). We got all info in advance and helped us how to get to the workshop. The work with the lamps was enjoyable and a huge success, watching all the other works, everybody could find her/his personality in the process. It is suitable for everyone, even for kids, help and good mood are guaranteed. Thank you! Good to know: whenever you take any programs in Istambul take the advice of your guide and check the traffic as travel time can change minute by minute!Me ha encantado. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.Glass painting was excellent. Teacher was wonderful.Very good and interactive!We really enjoyed the experience! Thank you very much! Now we have beautiful memory at home about our trip to Istanbul.

This was a five star experience in every way! Mustafa is just amazing with his kindness, knowledge, instruction, and hospitality. it's a coffee making workshop but I also learned so much about the history and culture of coffee! 100% would recommend in a group or solo! ♥️Ήταν φανταστική εμπειρία μάθαμε ωραία πράγματα ,ο Μουσταφά ήταν άψογος ευγενεστατος υπομονετικός μας εξήγησε τα πάντα και είχαμε και τα δωράκια μας στο τέλος της δραστηριότηταςAli was a great host and mini tour guide as he took the group from the European side by the Galata bridge to the Asian side to his business. He was great in providing a fun atmosphere, and the lamp creation was excellent. A cool expérience for all.Я в восторге от этого мастер-класса! Теперь у меня есть свой Турецкий светильник! Все понятно, доступно, интересно и легко. Очень заботливые и доброжелательные организаторы! Спасибо!Мне очень понравился мастер-класс и его ведущий! Было много интересной информации про кофе, его историю и значимость для Турции, как его готовить правильно по-турецки и зачем дают стакан с водой к кофе. Спасибо!The experience was amazing, they are super friendly and attentive, me and my daughter enjoy this workshop so much that we want to do it againI participated alone, but it was a very meaningful experience. I would definitely like to try this again when I come to Turkey. I would also like to recommend this experience to friends who are visiting Turkey.It’s a small group activity in a nice Cafe setting. The organiser would got in touch to give clear options of accessing the venue. Our instructor Mustafa is very nice and explains everything clearly and guides us through the whole process. Drinks and refreshments are on the house and unlimited. You can use the motif provided or unleash your creativity and in the end you got to take home your beautiful design as well as a nicely printed certificate. There is also a stained glass painting workshop and I would definitely try that when we visit Istanbul the next time. Thank you Mustafa and all the lovely staff!Ali was an amazing instructor. He was kind, engaging, funny, and patient. We’d highly recommend going to this workshop. Plus, the kittens were an added bonus.Отлично провели время! Азиз хорошо объяснял, что делать. Был небольшой интересный рассказ про историю мозаики в Турции.
В результате у нас получился настоящий уютный светильник, который можно поставить дома.Leather Crafting Workshop

The workshop was a lot of fun, and perhaps our favorite touristy activity in Istanbul! Our guide, Aziz, was very friendly and kind. On the way to their workshop he answered all our questions about Istanbul and gave us ideas on what to visit. The workshop itself was a wonderful experience too. We learned about the history of the lamps and Aziz helped us with everything we asked about. We had a great time and we get to bring home wonderful souvenirs. Way more valuable than had we just bought Turkish lamps in a shop! We wish we could have joined their glass painting workshop too, but sadly we ran out of time. Highly recommended!It was a perfect experience and very nice company. Really liked the experience. Good value for money.
The staff was very nice, and spoke perfect English. It took about 2,5 hours and you could drink all the tea and coffee that you would like.
Perfect way to spend the afternoon, will recommend everyone to take a cosy afternoon to make some beautiful mosiac glass panes.What a lovely way to spend part of a day in Istanbul! The activity was informative, creative, and meditative. Our guides were lovely and attentive. I would absolutely recommend this for anyone visiting Istanbul.Alle waren super nett und hilfsbereit. Es gab sogar einen extra Übersetzer für uns und man wurde abgeholt und ist zusammen mit den andern Teilnehmern dort hin. Es hat ca. 2std gedauert wonach es 1std trocknen musste wo uns die netten Leute tolle Restaurants empfohlen haben für die Wartezeit. Außerdem hat man viel über die Stadt und die Glasmalerei erfahren. Ich kann es nur jedem empfehlen ein muss wenn man in Istanbul ist !!This workshop is one you don’t want to miss. Our guide, Aziz, had amazing energy, enthusiasm and character. Everything was beautifully organised, presented and ran smoothly. We are very thankful that we have this incredible memory to remember ☺️😊The guide Mustafa was excellent, very knowledgeable and helpful. Had a great time and would recommend this activity to all who want to do something unique for the region.Go without hesitation, great people, great place and activity out of the ordinary, I had to drag my boyfriend there, but once there he had so much fun, thanks again Ali and Ada.An excellent activity for a rainy day in Istanbul. Ali and the team were fantastic hosts and we were looked after very well from start to finish.

Great experience from start to finish. Ali was informative and I cannot wait to take the knowledge I have gained back to my home country. It was a delight being able to be immersed into the Turkish culture and traditions. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting İstanbul.Really fun activity, a great way to spend a rainy afternoon. The staff were great, very helpful and we really loved the experience.Two friends and I attended the stained glass workshop yesterday and we were so impressed! The location in Uskudar is in an interesting area with many restaurants and coffee shops around and very easy to find by public transportation. Our teacher Eda was knowledgeable and patient and English translation was available to help us communicate when needed. Painting our designs was very relaxing! We all loved the way our designs turned out and want to come back again soon! The workshop lasts about two hours and in the hour where we waited for our pieces to dry, we visited a nearby restaurant and then came back to pick them up. Such a fun afternoon! Highly recommended.Everything was great! Explanations were in excellent English and the guide was really friendly. It was a very original and very interesting experience. experienceGot a question?
