Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

This was a really fun class! We learned a bit of the history of Turkish lamps and had plenty of time to design and glue ours.

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.
