    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    We met near the river we was ok - taken on the train to the Asia side of Istanbul, we had to walk a little to the place which was ok. Once we got there the guide explained the schedule to us and we started our workshop it was very therapeutic and very enjoyable experience we loved it!!! it bought out our creative minds, calming and intense. We were given lots of tea and little snacks I was well chuffed with my creation. The lamps are then left to dry, unfortunately, they did not give my lamp enough time to dry so when the bubble wrap was taken off it was stuff to the lamp... but other than that it was a brilliant! plan to stay on the Asia side while you are there get to see fish market eat nice fresh food! We got the ferry back cost 70 liras as we chose to stay back and not go with the guide. I would do this workshop again.

    Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

    This was a fantastic class. It was a very hands on workshop with a lot of room for creativity. Tea, coffee, and snacks were provided throughout. The cafe was in a very cool part of town with lots of food options nearby. It was a fun way to end a day in Istanbul and it gives you a unique and memorable experience with a souvenir to display in your home or give as a gift.

    If I could, I would give Beizanur and her workshop, a million stars rating instead of five! I had the greatest time making my own Turkish Mosaic Lamp. I highly recommend this activity! Thank you so much!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    We are happy that they came to meet us to make sure we got to the venue as is it our first time visiting Instanbul. The overall experience was relaxing, there was no rush when it came to deciding the colour scheme of the lamp or sticking on the shards. The host was very welcoming and enjoyable to talk to while we decorated our lamps and drank turkish tea on the side. While the lamps were drying, we got some lunch in the surrounding area and came back to pick up the lamps.
