Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

Eşimle beraber yine çok memnun kaldığımız bir workshop'u tamamladık. İstanbul'a turistik amaçlı geliyorsanız ya da bizim gibi kendi şehrimizde turist olmayı seviyorsanız önereceğimiz bir etkinlik. Bu tür işleri evde yapmak istesek bir sürü malzemeye ihtiyacımız olacak, burada kendi evimizde yapıyormuş rahatlığında güzel bir 3 saat geçirdik. Eğitmenlerin cana yakın ve yardımcı tavırları, workshop esnasında eğitmenle ve diğer katılımcılarla edilen sohbetler deneyimi daha üst seviyeye çıkarıyor. Tek bile olsanız, çekinmeyin çıkın gelin :) Çay, kahve, kurabiye ikramları lezzetli ve güzeldi. Ortaya çıkan ürünümüzü de çerçeveyle birlikte evimize getirdik. Bir daha olsa bir daha gelir miyiz evet :) Instagram ve YouTube : Maksat Yolculuk 😇😇

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

The lamp making was very fun and it was easier than I expected. We ended up making really pretty lamps and were able to do so with the guidance of a really nice guide who taught us the basics. Loved the chill surroundings and nice music playing in the back. We also got Turkish tea drink and some cookies to munch on. Overall if you’re in Istanbul I recommend coming and trying out this workshop.

Perfume Making Workshop review

Ha sido una experiencia genial, por lo que pagas para la actividad te enseñan a crear tu propio perfume y sales con tu perfume personalizado por el precio que pagaste por la actividad, te brindan té, café, galletas… la verdad fue una actividad que repetiría. Ideal para ir en pareja o en familia😇.

유럽지구에서 워크숍 장소까지 친절하게 동행가이드를 해줍니다(교통비포함). 재미있고 유익한 시간이었어요. 아마도 내가 직접 만든 전등은 터키에서 가져가는 가장 큰 선물이 될 것 같습니다.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

There are two locations for this workshop and the one I participated in was in the Asian side. Isra reached out via Whatsapp to make sure that I had the transportation details. She personally met our group at the metro and guided us to the worship. Mehmet taught the class and he was great. I learned about the history and techniques behind Turkish coffee. Even the fortune telling was fun! We were given a small gift bag with our own Turkish coffee cup and saucer and the pot to make the offer in. Highly recommend taking this workshop!

Calligraphy on Glass Workshop review

Die Atmosphäre war wie auch zuvor sehr einladend und ich habe mich sehr willkommen gefühlt. Januar‘24 war ich das erste Mal im Fabrikafa, um eine Mosaiklampe herzustellen. Das war auch eine sehr positive Erfahrung. Und Berşah, die mich mit der Kalligraphie auf Glasmalerei bekannt gemacht hat, war wirklich sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Zeit ist verflogen! Es hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht, unter künstlerisch so begabten und herzlichen jungen Leuten zu sein. Wenn ich die Zeit finde, werde ich gern noch einige andere Workshops dort besuchen:) Wenn nicht in diesem Urlaub, dann im nächsten, inshaAllah🥰 PS: der Tee war auch seeeeeehr lecker!
