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.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

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.

The workshop was like therapy for my mom and I, we enjoyed it very much and all the explanation from Eda was OUTSTANDING, her attention to detail and patience are beyond expected. We shared our experience with other people and it was an all around enjoyable time, we were served tea non-stop and the cookies were good as well. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to relax and have a me-time, if possible, look for Eda, couldn’t ask for a better teacher than her!
