Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Amazing experience - loved it! Lovely group of people and very helpful. Excellent explanation of each stage. Value for money is great as you walk away with your own made electric lamp! I was able to make it so it fitted in with my deco at home. Great venue and really hospitable. Have a cafe on site. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a lamp. I will bring my brother next time I am in Istanbul- inshallah

Turkish Illumination Art Workshop review

Bugün Zeynep hocayla birebir tezhip atölyesi yaptık. Kendisi çok cana yakın bir insandı ve kaliteli bir hocaydı. Kendisiyle ilk tezhip sanatı deneyiminden çok memnun kaldım. Başka zamanlarda da katılmak isterim.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Η δραστηριότητα ήταν πολύ δημιουργική. Ο χώρος ήταν κατάλληλα οργανωμένος και είχε όλα τα απαραίτητα υλικά που απαιτούνται για τη δημιουργία μιας πρωτότυπης λάμπας. Η ατμόσφαιρα ήταν πολύ φιλική και σε έκανε να νιώθεις άνετα και ευχάριστα. Ο διοργανωτής εξηγούσε με λεπτομέρειες τόσο την ιστορία των παραδοσιακών λαμπών όσο και τα βήματα που απαιτούνται για την υλοποίηση τους. Είναι μια δραστηριότητα που σου δίνει τη δυνατότητα να γνωρίσεις και άλλους ταξιδιώτες της πόλης και να μοιραστείτε εμπειρίες. Ακόμη, μετά την ολοκλήρωση του εργαστηρίου οι συμμετέχοντες παίρνουν μαζί τους την προσωπική τους δημιουργία μέσα σε κατάλληλο περιτύλιγμα το οποίο διασφαλίζει την ακεραιότητα της. Τέλος, θα ήταν ίσως πιο βολικό να δημιουργηθεί ένας χώρος διεξαγωγής και στην ευρωπαϊκή πλευρά της πόλης, αν και ο διοργανωτής φροντίζει για την ασφαλή μεταφορά των συμμετεχόντων με τη συνοδεία ξεναγού.

Perfume Making Workshop review

It was a great experience! The host, Mustapha, was very friendly and pro. And It was more than just mixing smell together. The group dynamic was amazing which made it better. Also, I booked for 2 but they allowed my other friend to join last minute, so it was very nice of them. I definitely recommend, it’s an original way to discover people and more about Istanbul.
