    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Very nice creative activity and it was fun to match all the colours and designs together. Better to have your own made Turkish lamp to buy one from the shop. Would definitely recommend.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Super toller Nachmittag! Perfekt von der Abholung auf der europäischen Seite bis zum Parfum kreieren. Hat super Spaß gemacht, man konnte so viele Öle riechen und das selbst kreierte Parfum ist wirklich toll! Wir hatten auch eine super Gruppe, alle waren nett, hat gut harmoniert.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    This was such a great experience! It's really fun for artistic people, but also for people who feel like they aren't too creative - you get a few sample patterns that you can do, so it's not difficult at all. The instructors Kübra and Ümmü Ebiha were extremely helpful and kind, so it was a pleasure attending this workshop!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    It was incredible!!! Had so much fun and lost track of time. The place was unique and the tools and the vibrant colors of mosaic with the backstory telling which was quite interesting and the instructor was very nice and friendly. The best thing is that you get to see the lamp come together and light up with all the reflections of different mosaic colors which you later once it’s done you get to keep and now it’s on my cupboard in my room having the Islamic sunset light. ALSO not to mention getting to meet cool people from all around the world. Since a great experience, highly recommend.

    Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

    It was such a wonderful workshop. Both ladies who were our guides were the sweetest people ever and two girls who came for the workshop were also wonderful. The workshop itself was really interesting and made everyone wake up their creativity. The atmosphere of the whole group was immaculate and it felt more like girlfriends meeting up to chat and do something together but it was still very insightful when it comes to workshop itself. My boyfriend who was the only man in the group also really enjoyed the workshop and didn’t feel awkward or unwelcome. If you ever consider going for this workshop don’t hesitate becuase it’s worth the money not only for the activity but also for the wonderful people there who make those workshops happen.

    The lantern making class was awesome. The instructor really broke the project into manageable tasks, was hands-on with help when we needed it, and kept the class pace moving so we would finish in time. It was a really wonderful experience! I would totally do it again.
