Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Было настолько увлекательно, что я даже и не заметила как пролетели 3 часа 😍 Советую обязательно посетить этот мастер-класса, да и вообще в целом мастер-классы от этих организаторов.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Anfangs fand ich es schade, dass nicht genau mitgeteilt wurde, dass der Workshop im asiatischen Bereich ist. Ich fand es aber echt amüsant und interessant, dass wir eine multikulturell geprägte Gruppe waren. Wir bekamen von der Kursleiterin Tee, Kaffee, Wasser und salzige Kekse. Es hat wirklich großen Spaß gemacht und es war ein unvergesslicher Tag. Wir durften sogar im asiatischen Bereich spazieren gehen und später die Lampen abholen. Nur zum Beachten von Fluggästen: man darf die Lampen im Handgepäck im Flieger nicht mitnehmen. Wir mussten unser Handgepäck deshalb abgeben und haben die Lampen schön gepolstert, sodass sie nicht beim Hin- und Herschmeißen des Gepäcks kaputt gehen. Die Lampe an sich ist heile angekommen und sie ist echt ein Hingucker 😍. Würde es gerne nochmal machen.

The most unique activity I've ever done somewhere, I absolutely loved it! Ali gave us precious information about how perfumes are made and being able to choose from over 60 flagrances to make our own perfume made the whole experience unforgettable! Book it without hesitation as you will love it as well ❤️

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

The cafe itself was popular with locals and extremely atmospheric. There was a hubbub that made it feel really fun. Mustafa and his team are all young people full of enthusiasm which is really infectious; he brought out the best in all of us and we classmates became BFFs for 3hrs. Making the lamps was almost an aside! But making those lamps was a triumph for us all and I’m proud to display mine at home. This was THE BEST day of my Istanbul trip without a doubt. I’ll be back to do the perfume class, or maybe the painting class. 10/10.

Excelente actividad. Dos opciones para llegar desde el lado europeo un guia te lleva d entero (ticket incluido) hasta la actividad que será del lado Asiático. Materiales, explicación y ambiente acogedor. Resultado de una lámpara creada por ti mismo que te llevas para casa lista para usar y recordar tu viaje a Estambul. Recomendado!

Uns wurde erklärt, wie sich ein Parfüm zusammensetzt und wir konnten unser eigenes erstellen. Die Erklärung war auf Englisch, jedoch musste ich es meiner Tochter übersetzen und hatte kaum Zeit dafür. Es wurde alles sehr schnell erklärt. wir wurden am Treffpunkt abgeholt, jedoch mussten wir die Rückreise alleine antreten.

Perfume Making Workshop review

It was an amazing experience, we learned to make our own perfumes. We were instructed clearly about the theory of perfume making and we experimented by smelling the over 60 perfume oils they had and try to make our own combinations. The instruction also gave each participant special attention and advice on how to make a perfume we actually liked. For the end result, we both ended up loving our perfumes and we could take them home. Amazing value for money Another note: check out their other workshops , they are all INCREDIBLE
