Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

I would definitely recommend the glass painting workshop! It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with locals, experience Turkish hospitality, and explore my own creativity. Special thanks to Eda for her guidance and to the owner for his warm hospitality :)

I loved how homey the atmosphere was! My guide (beyza) was very kind and explained everything well. The material seems to be good quality and the value for money is 10/10.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

It was a fun creative project, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone interested. The only downside for me was that they offered us unlimited food and drinks but they never delivered, I never received anything to drink and then when I asked they tried to charge me. That was the only downside for me.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Супер мастер класс! Очень душевное, интересное и легкое мероприятие, чтобы украсить свой визит в Стамбул! Отдельная добрая деталь - за одним столом с фонариками собираются туристы из совершенно разных стран, есть возможность познакомиться пообщаться. У нас была экскурсия на английском, без сопровождения русским переводчиком, о чем написали до экскурсии с предложением перенести день. Нам было не принципиально, поэтому слушали на английском. Но все абсолютно понятно, даже если языком не владеете. Ведущий мастер класса все показывает наглядно, помогает, если что-то не получается. Мастер класс хорошо организован, постоянно предлагают чай, кофе и т.д. и все включено в мероприятие, очень милая и гостеприимная обстановка. Это действительно медитативное, расслабляющее занятие. По итогу получается индивидуальный и абсолютно полноценный ночник, который забираете с собой на память. Мы бы и еще раз с удовольствием пошли.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

This experience was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Istambul. The price is super fair for EVERYTHING you get. I think I can't recommend this enough. We met one of the owners who took us to the Asian side via subway (ticket included). We had a really small walk (~3 min) and got to the place. Water, tea and cookies were provided. We sat down in a table of 7 people (we were a group of 4) and it was just the perfect size. The instructor walked us through the history of mosaics before starting and then it was SUPER fun to create the lamps. They are absolutely beautiful. We received the help and support we needed. The materials are high quality and the people there are extremely nice. We had to wait about 30 minutes after being done to let the glue dry (so take that into consideration). We decided to go for lunch in the meantime and they recommend a very delicious restaurant, which you can tell tourists didn't frequent so prices were very reasonable. If you can do this, DO
