    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    This experience mixes culture, history, creativity and fun. Ali is a fun, informative and lovely person to spend time with. Knowledgeable, passionate, and a great teacher, you have a truly wonderful 3 hours designing and creating your lamp. The workshop is in a great area, which is wonderful to explore and feel a truly authentic Istanbul experience. I can't recommend this enough! Thanks Ali!

    The activity was very fun! The guide explained to us a little of culture behind this mosaic lamps and then teached us how to make beautiful and colourful patterns while offering us coffee, tea and cookies. We really had a great time and it was satisfying too! We suggest you to try!

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Experiencia indispensable si visitas Estambul, te permite conocer y adentrarte un poco más en la cultura turca. Quién diría que una bebida tan cotidiana como el café pudiese sorprenderte de esta manera.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Очень понравилось! Проводил мастер класс Азиз. Он немного стесняется, но у него очень интересно получается рассказывать историю кофе. Процесс приготовления кофе так же очень интересный. Рассмотрели два вида приготовления. Я выбрала один из двух и приготовила сама)) После погадали на кофейной гуще)) По завершении Азиз подарил приятный подарок)

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Мастер-класс начнётся с исторического ликбеза. Азиз весьма харизматичный рассказчик, факты интересные и во-многом раскрывающие смысл дальнейших действий. Часть с гаданием на кофейной гуще - скорее забавное дополнение. В целом мило, уютно и очень атмосферно.)

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Fun workshop! I love the idea of learning about an item of cultural significance and then making the item to take home. I thought about buying a lamp but it’s much better that I got the chance to make it. Note : it was a seamless experience getting to the cafe from the European side since they picked me up but I had a little trouble finding my way back without their guidance

    Very enjoyable, creative experience. The workshop is in an interesting neighbourhood, which you can explore when waiting for your lamp to dry. You learn some history about mosaics and you are given templates to help with your design or can free-style.
