    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Met on the European side and our host escorted us through the metro over to the Asian side. After a five minute walk we got to the studio/cafe which was beautiful in its own right. The host gave us all an individual explanation on how to make the lamp and also had a few tips for different designs we could make. Free coffee or tea was available throughout the session. Overall a really unique and fun experience and would recommend to anyone.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Ein einmaliges Erlebnis, das ich allen ans Herz legen kann. Aziz macht einen tollen Job und die Location ist perfekt. Die Herstellung der Mosaik Lampe hat sehr viel Spass gemacht und hat beinahe eine Meditative Wirkung. Ein schöner Kontrast zum Alltag in Istanbul. Am Schluss wird das ganze sicher verpackt und man nimmt ein einzigartiges Souvenir nach Hause. Die Location ist ebenfalls toll, falls man einen ruhigen Ort für einen Kaffee/Cay sucht. Eins ist sicher, ich komme wieder.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    The activity was ok. A gentleman met us to transport to us to the shop. He was very polite, very good in communications and was on time! The shop was small and crowded. The person who explained the process to make the lamps was very thorough and clear. However not all the desired supplies were available in the colors asked for or seen in lamps. Customers were told that items ran out on several items. Many colors were also mixed so a persons had to screen the jars to make sure they get the colors they wanted.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Замечательный мастер-класс, атмосфера места и рассказчик. Маленькая кофейня для молодых интеллектуалов на азиатской стороне Стамбула, с теплой атмосферой, бесплатным чаем и маленькими милыми деталями. Под хороший джаз мы делали лампы под чутким руководством Азиза. Очень приятный человек, с которым интересно общаться. Он учился в Москве, поэтому сразу нашлись общие темы для разговора. В этой же кофейне проходят мастер-классы по варке турецкого кофе, кажется, тоже очень интересное занятие, которое подойдет абсолютно всем - и детям, и взрослым, мужчинам и женщинам. Изготовление мозаичных ламп - творческое и медитативное упражнение. Нам очень оно понравилось после нескольких дней, насыщенных прогулками и впечатлениями. А тут три часа погружения в фантазию и умиротворение. Лампы отлично доелетели в ручной клади, сейчас украшают дом. Хочется еще парочку к ним в комплект сделать )

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    The activity offered was absolutely wonderful, and the area it's located in is beautiful. They communicate with you to determine the meeting place and then take you to the workshop. There are three meeting points depending on the area your hotel is located in. The workshop is small and tidy, and they serve Turkish tea and sweets while giving you a brief overview of Turkish mosaic history, the manufacturing process, and how to work on your own candlestick. Upon completion, you're presented with a certificate of participation and the lamp you crafted yourself. The duration is 3 hours, but 2 hours are usually sufficient. There's a small café attached to the workshop where you can wait for your piece to dry before they wrap it for protection against breakage. I highly recommend this place."

    Thank you to Aziz for a fun evening learning the secrets of Turkish coffee! Well organised from an enthusiastic and knowledgable host. Who knew there was so much to learn about coffee?! Special thanks for helping me get back to the metro and get my travel card sorted. I will definitely recommend to friends and family to try this out if they visit Istanbul! (If I had more time I would have done the mosaic lamp workshop too!)🙏🏼

    Really fun - the only downside was they were also teaching a coffee making class in the same room so a bit noisy. Loved our lamps at the end of it!

    Would rate this activity higher if I could -- Ali's presentation and workshop was enjoyable, charming, and very very hospitable. We actually overslept our morning booking and were lucky enough to switch to the afternoon slot, but Ali and his team were very kind and understanding. 10/10 recommend, walked away with nice gifts too!
