    Perfume Making Workshop review

    This was such a fun activity. I learned so much about how to build a fragrance, choosing complimentary notes, etc. I highly recommend this workshop whether you're solo or with a group.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    The host picked us up on time from an easy to find meeting point and it was smooth getting to the location. The workshop was very fun and Bayzanur was very informative. The tea was delicious and so were the biscuits. It would have been a bit better if there was a range of biscuits to choose from. It was really great fun to make the lantern and it turned out very beautiful. I would highly recommend, a really fun way to spend an afternoon!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    The workshop went above and beyond our expectations. Our guide, Beyzanur was extremely welcoming and attentive. She explained the history of mosaics in Turkey and was clearly very enthusiastic about it! She was super helpful throughout the entire process and we were able to design and take home our beautiful lamps! Would definitely recommend this workshop to anyone looking for something fun to do in Istanbul😊

    Ein toller Workshop. Lieber gestalte ich mir eine Lampe selbst, als mir einfach eine zu kaufen. Man konnte nach Vorlage gestalten oder seiner Kreativität freien Lauf lassen. Würde den Workshop besten Gewissens weiterempfehlen.

    Recomendamos esta actividad al 100% a todo aquel que le guste realizar manualidades. Lugar muy acogedor junto a un equipo amable. Además de poder llevarte la lámpara a casa, te ofrecen café/té junto a pequeñas pastas, así como, el viaje al lugar en caso de quedar en un punto convenido. Pequeños detalles que marcan la diferencia.

    Amazing experience at the workshop! Beyzanur has been a lovely facilitator for it. Everything was explained in such a clear way and she was always available for any support. I found it very relaxing and satisfying to create my own lamp. I have now a unique souvenir from Istanbul :) I strongly recommend anyone to join. For a very cheap price you will have your own lamp, beverages and biscuits, good company and a nice memory 😊 thank you Beyzanur

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Нас было пять человек. Все конечно-же знали что такое турецкий мозаичный светильник. Но то, что его можно легко сделать своими руками - оказалось очень увлекательным занятием на 3-3.5 часа. Никто не пожалел ни капельки, что пошли на это мероприятие! Каждый сделал свой светильник по-своему. Все получились разные. Теперь уже стоят в Москве и ОЧЕНЬ радуют нас своим прекрасным видом. Пока клеили светильники успели еще угостится чаем-кофе. А потом пока наши бессмертные творения сохли, тут же в кафешке и пообедали ещё. Время очень быстро, празднично и весело пролетело! Классное мероприятие!
