Turkish Tile - Ceramic Art Workshop review

Wonderful experience! I took part in the Tile Painting Workshop led by Zeynep - a wonderful artist, and such a sweet and kind person! You are provided with all the materials, and you receive guidance and advice on how to progress with your painting, what I personally really appreciated and I was very happy with the final result. Definitely the best souvenir I’ll bring back home from Istanbul. On top of that, during the workshop Isra would regularly check up on me, strike a conversation, offer me more tea, coffee or biscuits - she was so lovely, and I felt so well taken care of! Teşekkürler Zeynep and Isra for making my experience so memorable ❤️

Perfume Making Workshop review

Attività molto interessante che si può ripetere date le migliaia di combinazioni di essenze. Anche in questo caso suggerisco di fare questa esperienza all'inizio della vostra permanenza per entrare nel vivo della cultura e conoscere altre persone.

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.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

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.

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!
