Ceramic Workshop in Istanbul review

Atölye sahide aylık seramik kuruna gidiyorum. Sadece workshop olmasın aylık düzenli gideyim diyenler için çok güzel bir fırsat bence. Naz hocanın yaklaşımı da çok sevecen güleryüzlü ve öğretmeye açık.Orada geçirdiğim saatler ruhuma iyi geliyor. Bu şekilde bir arayışı olan kişilere gönül rahatlığı ile tavsiye ederim. 🪻

Ceramic Workshop in Istanbul review

Önce seramik workshopuna katıldım çok zevk aldığım güzel bir süreçti ve ortaya çıkardığımız ürünler de çok tatlı oldu. Sonra resim kursuna başladım şu an devam ediyorum. Çok sıcak samimi bir ortamı var. Keyifle katılıyorum derslere.

Perfume Making Workshop review

I went with my mother and we really enjoyed the experience! It was very interesting and interactive. The teacher was calm, kind, and very clear when explaining everything, which made it easy to follow and enjoy. There was a great variety of different oils to smell and choose from, and you get to create your own perfume and take it home with you, which is a lovely souvenir. Overall, it was a great experience. I definitely recommend it!

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Amazing experience learning about and making Turkish coffee! Had the pleasure of being taught by Kubra, who was super lovely and welcoming and had great energy throughout the whole workshop. I really enjoyed learning about the history and social culture surrounding Turkish coffee, and it was very cool to try out a new way of making coffee! Highly recommend Istanbul workshops as a place to get creative and learn about Turkish culture!

J’ai passé un moment fantastique lors de cette activité ! J’ai rencontré trois filles incroyablement gentilles qui ont transformé le reste de ma journée en une véritable aventure. C’est une façon unique et rafraîchissante de profiter de son séjour à Istanbul, et le meilleur dans tout ça, c’est que vous repartez avec un souvenir inoubliable. Je recommande vivement cette expérience !

Perfume Making Workshop review

It was so so so fun! I was a bit skeptical at first because it's not the type of activity Im used to do while travelling but I must say this was one of my highlights from my trip in Istanbul. The guide was really nice and helpful and you could really DIY and personalize your perfume. For the price it's really worth a good arts and crafts session and a new unique smell! Thank you :)

Perfume Making Workshop review

Zeynep und Ali haben das großartig gemacht und erklärt. Es hat super viel Spaß gemacht die verschiedenen Düfte zu kombinieren und sein eigenes Parfum zu kreieren. Zeynep war super hilfreich, als es darum ging welche Düfte man zusammen kombinieren könnte. Großes Lob an sie! Es war ein tolles Erlebnis! Gegen etwas Aufpreis durften wir uns ein zweites Fläschchen mitnehmen.

Perfume Making Workshop review

I would like to leave positive feedback about two wonderful team members named Zeynep. The first Zeynep helped and guided me during my perfume creation experience. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what she was teaching. Her love for perfumery truly showed, and it made the experience both enjoyable and memorable. The second Zeynep inspired me during my visit related to glass painting. She shared ideas and encouragement that left me excited and motivated for my next visit. Her creativity and positive energy were truly inspiring. Both of these ladies clearly love and enjoy what they do, and it reflects strongly in the way they interact with guests. They absolutely deserve recognition and premium appreciation for their dedication, passion, and excellent service. Thank you for having such amazing people on your team.
