    Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

    People at the workshop are very approachable, helpful and friendly. It’s a real relaxing experience. The workshop is situated in a purposely built trendy cafe and you can relax in the cafe whilst waiting for your ‘artwork’ to dry. Good fun for the whole family!

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Aziz was great, explained so many facts about the history of coffee in Turkey, the whole workshop was very entertaining plus we learned how to make coffee like a true Turkish barista. On top of that, we learned a bit about fortune telling as well. Would definitely recommend!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Очень понравился мастер-класс по изготовлению светильников. Мастер-класс был приобретен для ребенка 10 лет. У нее не возникло никаких трудностей. Наоборот, ей было интересно придумать собственный узор для лампы и потом воплотить его с помощью цветных стекол. В основном мастер класс проходил на английском, но параллельно нам переводили на русский непонятные моменты из истории подобных светильников. Ещё могу сказать, что сам мастер класс проходил в очень интересном кафе: там интересная обстановка, наполненная вещами, которые интересно разглядывать. Часть кафе расположена в помещении, а часть на улице. Пока ребенок занимался лампой нам были предложены вода, чай и кофе. В общем, мы обязательно вернёмся в это кафе, что бы поучаствовать в другом мастер-классе. Или просто выпить кофе.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Très bonne expérience :) le cadre est chaleureux et les animateurs de l’atelier sont très sympas. Nous avons eu un petit historique de la création des lampes. Les animateurs nous ont donné des conseils sur nos réalisations, bref c’est une super expérience avec un souvenir chouette.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Отличный мастер-класс! Большое спасибо, все очень понравилось. Очень интересно было послушать об истории создания мозаичной культуры в Турции. Сам процесс изготовления- как, своего рода, медитация. Успокаивает и дарит радость. Всем рекомендую!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Очень понравился данный мастер класс! Несмотря на то, что гид был англоговорящим, мы друг друга прекрасно понимали! (хотя мы не очень хорошо знаем английский). Мустафа прекрасный человек, с которым выдался интересный диалог. Было очень интересно создавать лампы! Все получились красочными и яркими. Спасибо за потрясающие воспоминания! Теперь свет ламп будет нам напоминать о тепле и уюте турецкого народа.

    Спасибо за такой прекрасный мастер класс! Было очень интересно и познавательно. Азиз потрясающий и эрудированный молодой человек, с которым общение становится очень приятным и комфортным. А главное - мы научились варить обалденный кофе! А так же, было очень приятно получить подарок после мастер класса, спасибо!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    This activity was one of the highlights of my trip! I am very crafty, so I loved the opportunity to be creative while abroad. The employees were very accommodating especially since we had several power outages due to bad weather during my experience. They provided us with endless amounts of coffee, tea, water, and cookies. They also had a location in which we could house our belongings while we worked. They were so understanding about me making a mess while working and explained that "it's a workshop, it's supposed to be messy." I also enjoyed listening to the information that was being given to another group that was doing a coffee tasting at a nearby table. The provider of this activity was super helpful in picking us up and dropping us off at our pickup location. They helped us to move through the Turkish Metro system safely and in a timely manner. While our lamps were drying, we were able to explore some of the surrounding area on our own time!

    Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

    Excellent experience. The cafe is actually on the Asian side of the city but a guide will meet you on the European side id tou prefer. It is an easy 1 stop on the metro with the guide and short walk to a lovely workshop cafe. The cafe was busy with many classes going (lamps and coffee) but I was the only one in my stained glass class so I got lots of advice and helpful from my wonderful instructor. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. You should sign up!!

    Невероятно тёплый и дружелюбный мастер-класс. Азиз не только отлично владеет историей и мастерством приготовления кофе, но ещё и прекрасный рассказчик! А целый пакет подарков с собой был особенно приятен! Как-будто в гостях у друга побывала!
