    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    The workshop was a fun experience and it was cool to design your own lamp. Important to note that the workshop was in Üsküdar NOT Fatih - Fatih was just the meeting point. Would be great if that was mentioned in the description before booking since it's not exactly convenient if you're not already staying in the area and you need to factor in extra time to get to and from. Also would be great if there was more staff to support the workshop, especially wrapping up the lamps in the end so we could all leave soon after the workshop and not have to wait around for 30+ minutes.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Everything was well prepared right from the pick up to the art materials needed and the guide's hospitality. It was fun experimenting with multi coloured mosaic and bead forming different patterns and designs. Lamp was lighted and bubble wrapped. Wished it was placed in a box for better protection.

    It was an amazing experience. Aziz was very kind and helpful throughout the process. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a "non-cliché" activity. You'll enjoy the vibes and the people here are very friendly. Worth every penny.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    It was very fun and the staff very nice. I’m absolutely not talented artistically but the lamp turned out very pretty! (had a bit of a mental breakdown due to lacking patience tho so bear that in mind) The only thing that they could improve on is the unlimited drinks. There were too many people so we’ve only had a tea and a coffee but I think it’s still worth the price.

    Super experience in Istanbul. Really the best souvenir you can take back home - your own perfumes. The whole crew was extremely friendly with special thanks to Ali who lead me through the world of perfume creation and helped to prepare my composition.
