    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Super fun, chill class. It's on the Asian side of Istanbul, but they help you catch the metro from the European side if needed. Our guide was knowledgeable and helped us design our patterns. It felt a bit rushed because the 3 hours takes into account ~1 hour of glue drying time. Regardless, we had lots of fun and would highly recommend it.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Yunus picked us up and took us to the venue. Our workshop guide explained the process and helped us in the design. He was explaining every step of the process and made sure each person was looked after, explaining design, colour, shape template and everything else that goes with making the lamps. They provided snacks and drinks, and had a lovely cat called Rafa, who was supervising along with everyone else. Overall a lovely day and experience. Thank you.

    O kadar keyifliydi ki bu kadarını düşünmemiştim. Yapamazsam diye çok gerilsem de çok hoşuma gitti sonuç ve inanın herkesin yaptığı lamba ayrı güzel ve eşsiz. Dil olarak da İngilizce de Türkçe de anlatım var. Hocamız da dünya tatlısı bir adamdı. Çok mutlu oldum. Kahve, çay ve atıştırmalık ikramlarınız için de çok teşekkür ederiz. Tanıdığım herkese de önermeyi düşünüyorum. Harikasınız her şey için sağolun.

    A great, social experience learning to make perfume and designing my own scent to take home. The crew were friendly and helpful. I am traveling solo so this was a nice experience to sit with new people for a2 hours and be creative.

    Byliśmy z córką. Odebrał nas bardzo miły przewodnik, który zaprowadził nas na miejsce (po azjatyckiej stronie miasta). Bilety na metro były wliczone w cenę. Warsztaty prowadziła bardzo miła dziewczyna (Zeynep). Zabawa z zapachami i ich mieszaniem, to coś naprawdę specjalnego. oczywiście przy okazji była turecka herbata, kawa, woda i ciastka:) Warto!

    This workshop was worth to follow....very interesting to make your own scent, your own perfume.....We had in the past already 2 workshops here and we recommend this location for sure...as we stayed on the Asian side of Istanbul we went with taxi to the location....In these 3 times now taxi driver had always problems to find the exact location....First time taxi dropped us somewhere and had to find our self what was not so easy....Now and the second time we insisted to drop us of in front of the location....We had a good time here and when we come back in Istanbul we will explore for sure other workshops here to follow....

    Było fantastycznie, dowiedzieliśmy się bardzo dużo ciekawych informacji, los chciał że trafiliśmy tak iż byliśmy jedynymi na poranne zajęcia przez co prowadzący mógł nam poświęcić dużo więcej czasu i podejść do nas indywidualnie, ogólnie to serdecznie polecam 😁

    Super expérience. Je recommande cette activité qui permet de se reposer un peu loin du tumulte de la ville. L ambiance est tres conviviale dans une salle sympa avec un petit café attenant. C est tres satisfaisant de repartir avec sa lampe créée par soi même.
