Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Es hat unglaublich viel Spaß gemacht unter den freundlichen Anweisungen des Workshop-Anbieters Aziz meine wunderschön grlungene Mosaik-Lampe herzustellen. Die Jungs sind wirklich sehr nett und hilfsbereit und geben gute Antworten zu jeder Frage. Leider war niemand außer mir in der Zeit um 12 Uhr da, aber um 15 Uhr wurden gleich 15 Teilnehmer erwartet. Daher musste Aziz mich die letzte halbe Std allein lassen, um zum Treffpunkt zu fahren und die Teilnehmer aufzusammeln. Überlegt nicht lange fslls ihr Interesse habt und euch nicht sicher seid, ob es sich lohnt, die 2,5 Stunden (30 Minuten Trocknungszeit) damit zu verbringen, eine selbst kreierte Lampe herzustellen. Es lohnt sich definitiv! Liebe Grüße an Aziz und an Ali, der mir den Tag versüßt hat mit seiner Aussage, dass er wirklich schon sehr lange keine so schöne Mosaik-Lampe gesehen hätte. Ja, ich weiß, das sagen sie vielleicht jedes Mal, aber ich entscheide mich eher dafür, ihm zu glauben:))

We had so much fun learning how to make Turkish coffee, we learned so much about the history and how Turkish coffee came to be. Ali was so friendly and kind. He walked us back to the metro station and gave us directions to get back to the European side.

Amazing, our guide Ali was amazing he collected us from Fatih and took us to his workshop. He was so attentive and made sure our lamps were perfect and dried as soon as possible as we had a flight to catch that evening.

Замечательный мастер-класс! Спасибо организаторам за индивидуальный подход и доброжелательность. За день до мероприятия связались и обсудили наиболее удобный для нас маршрут, сопроводили с точки сбора прямо до места проведения. Очень понятно и четко ввели в экскурс дела, рассказали предысторию, помогали на протяжении всего мастер-класса, предложили угощение и напитки. Мы остались в восторге, еще и с такими чудесными сувенирами!

Было очень атмосферно. Здорово, что организовали такой мастер-класс! Лампу, сделанную своими руками, увозить из Стамбула намного приятнее. Время пролетает незаметно, все очень интересно и красиво

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Наш обаятельный бариста покорил меня и дочь не только вкусным кофе, симпатичным местечком и приятным бонусом. Этот мастер-класс - целое погружение в историю кофе в Турции, в культуру, в обычаи и традиции! Несмотря на технические «косяки» с нашей стороны (простите нас….) – все прошло позитивно, душевно и очень интересно! Спасибо огромное!!!

I made a lamp inspired by my memories of Turkey. I really enjoyed the history and stories about lamps that I learned from the guide!The cafe at the venue was also a nice place and I really liked it. Now, as I look at this lamp in Japan, I am reminded of my trip to Turkey.
