I had a wonderful experience at this workshop! A unique experience definitely worth living in Istanbul!

Benjamin was so funny and we learned so much about the coffee as well as how to read the grounds. Very worthwhile experience and their coffee is so delicious! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Esperienza stupenda e personale gentilissimo. Consiglio per trascorrere qualche ora diversa ad Istanbul, immergendosi in usanze e tradizioni nuove. Grazie Aleyna e Benjamin per averci seguito durante questa esperienza. ❤️

Why buy a mosaic lamp when you can just make one to your liking? It was very fun and therapeutic. Our hosts were super friendly and kind! They kept refilling our teas and offered us Turkish coffee at the end. Highly recommend to do when in Istanbul!

Огромное спасибо) Очень понравилось) Мастер-класс проходит в стильном месте, нам рассказали об истории турецкого кофе. Затем показали 3 способа варить кофе в турке. Мы сами мололи кофе в кофемолке. Затем пробовали 2 других напитка кофе мененгич (из орехов) и кофе-дибек (молочный вкус с пряностями). Очень понравилось гадание на кофейной гуще)) Ведущий Бенжамин с юмором рассказал о технологии, затем мы гадали друг другу, а потом Бенжамин "погадал" каждому из нас) В конце нам подарили замечательные подарки, набор для кофе: маленькую турку, кофейную чашку с блюдцем и пакетик молотого кофе) Рекомендую!

I really enjoyed this workshop. The host was very friendly and introduced us to Turkish coffee making in a very enticing way.

Amazing experience! Very chill atmosphere. The workshop was well structured, with an educational part, a practice part and lots of fun all around :)

كانت تجربة جميلة جدا .. استمتعت بتنسيق الالوان و ترتيب قطع الزجاج على المصباح .. المضيف كان مرحباً جداً وروحه مرحه.. الفتاة التي اصطحبتنا من نقطة التجمع كانت لطيفة للغاية ومتفهمة و خدومة جداً..شكرا لحسن استضافتكم🤍

Awesome experience to get to make your own Turkish lamp with your unique style. The location and surrounding area are great to walk around afterwards as well.

The experience really was amazing!! Ali was super informative and friendly and was always willing to help if we were a bit stuck on what to do next

Amazing! What a brilliant way to start a holiday. Amazing host, super friendly and having a meeting point and then going to the shop was brilliant. The coffee making was really informative and that told you all about the history. Would recommend to all, the cafe they are in is always amazing. Maria ales the cakes there and they are so so delicious. The fortune telling was very fun!

We had an amazing morning learning about turkish mosaic lamps. Making our own was so fun - there were so many different colours of tiles and beads to chose from. Ali was so kind and friendly, he really made the experience amazing! He gave us great local recommendations and was kind enough to take us to a ceramics shop after the work shop as well, truly above and beyond brilliant. We loved the experience, would return in a heart beat and recommend it to everyone!

Real AMAZING experience! Host took her time and was very great at giving important information and the history of Mosaic 💫I had such a wonderful time I felt like a guest ⭐️

Fatih gave us a great experience. 🥰 We were not only his guests but also his friends. We learned a lot about the history and traditions of Turkish coffee. He took coffee drinking to a new level. The fortune-telling was really fun and interesting. And at the end, he didn't let us go empty-handed. Worth a 1000 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Unique and captivating workshop. We enjoyed it very much and are happy that we were able to take our lamps with us back home! I recommend.

Bellissima esperienza. Si respira tradizione e allo stesso tempo leggerezza. L Host Bunyamin una persona competente capace e molto gentile

Was amazing ... great hospitality and awesome experience !!!

What a wonderful experience! I have always been a bit nervous about Turkish Coffee as I thought it would be too strong for me to drink, but this experience has changed my mind! I have bought coffee to take home with me! the coffee making technique was explained & we received so much information. To top it, the venue was superb & the hospitality excellent! I would strongly recommend doing this! 🤗

This workshop was a wonderful way to learn more about Turkish culture and make a nice souvenir to bring home! Our host Jelena was wonderful. She was warm and friendly and gave us a presentation on the history and culture surrounding Turkish lamps and then helped us to make and apply our own designs. She was patient and happy to answer questions and give us more detail about Turkish art in general. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough- a must do when you’re in Istanbul!

Fun experience, kids loved it

Our family (husband, myself, and two daughters ages 8 and 4) had a wonderful experience making Turkish lanterns. These were such special souvenirs to bring back home. The instructors were lovely people - very knowledgeable about the craft, and also about history and politics. They were so kind to spend lots of dedicated time with our 4 year old helping her make the rainbow concoction of her dreams. :) My only suggestions - take some pictures of the lamps for sale in the different markets before you go - it will give you inspiration when you get to the class. And message the organizers in advance if you will need a US plug for your lamp. We used adapters for ours, but it sounded like they could get US plugs if you give them enough notice. Thanks for a great experience! :)

What a fun time it is to make our own mosaic lamps! Ali and team did a great job putting together a good experience for their customers!

Thanks for a great afternoon - I love my lamp!

What a fabulous way to experience Turkish culture! We really connected with our hosts and the friendly couple crom Canada. Together, we had a lot of laughs and an overall great afternoon. We will definitely recommend this workshop if you have some time on hand in Istanbul.
