Eda hanım ile dersimiz çok keyifli ve güzel geçti, bir arkadaşım ile birlikte gittik ve sadece ikimizdik. Özel ders gibi de oldu, sonuç olarak aldığımız haz ve yaptığımız minik eserlerimiz de bizim yanımızda kar kaldı. Hocamıza ve GetYourGuide’a çok teşekkür ediyorum.

Dieser Workshop war magisch. Eine eigene Mosaiklampe zu kreieren war wundervoll, die Gastgeber sehr fürsorglich, fröhlich und zauberhafte Gastgeber. Danke für alles! So ist ein Teil von Istanbul immer mit in unserem Zuhause.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

C'était vraiment très bien ! Esma est venue nous chercher sur la rive européenne et nous avons pris le métro pour nous rendre à l'atelier. La bas, Ali nous a expliqué un petit peu l'histoire de la mosaïque et nous avons eu carte blanche. Pendant l'atelier on nous a servi thé /café / petits gâteaux salés. Si on avait besoin d'aide ils nous conseillaient à chaque étapes. L'ambiance était relaxant et des chats nous étaient à nos côtés. Petit plus, nous avons pu laisser nos lampes pour visiter la rive asiatique et les récupérer le soir.

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.

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.
