Misafir Defteri

Eda was a great teacher and was very helpful while I learned this new art form. She was patient and gave me lots of tips. She also had the cutest kitten and we had a great time talking about our lives as well. The studio has a cafe attached and you can have refreshments while doing art. One thing to note is that the art studio is actually in Uskudar. You can either meet in Fatih and travel to the studio together (30 minutes) or meet directly at the art studio.

Such a fun thing to do in Istanbul. It allows you (as a tourist) to go to the Asian side and really gives you a fun, creative way to spend an afternoon. Our hostess was really the mostest. She was nothing but helpful and friendly. I cannot recommend it enough as an offbeat activity to do. While you’re creating your design the music is great too.

My husband and I absolutely loved the coffee making workshop! Mustafa was fantastic, he explained everything so well and gave us so much information about the history of coffee in turkey. Communication between ourselves and Mustafa was amazing, he messaged us to ask the options to get to the workshop. I would 100% recommend this to anyone visiting Istanbul! We would definitely be coming back to do the other workshops that are offered.

Our coffee instructor, Mustafa, was amazing! He made us feel relaxed and pricier a lot of intruding history on Turkish coffee-makinf and fortune-tellung. We loved the experience! The coffee and Turkish delight were delicious, great conversation, and we are excited to receive the gift to help us make our own Turkish coffee at home. We had a fast time-limit to get back on our cruise ship and the tour activity providers helped expedite our experience and provided information to help us find the ferry from the Asian to European sides of Istanbul to get on our ship in time. We would highly recommend this tour!

Very informative and great fun

ali is the best ☺️ plus good cafe and experience 100% recommend

It was so much fun, loved Mustafa and hope o do more workshops here!!

Ali and Eda were both very nice and were great to talk to. The whole experience was very relaxing and nice. Highly recommend 10/10 experience :)

This activity was so relaxing and enjoyable! Ali was a great mentor! We made beautiful Turkish mosaic lamps and got to take them with us too! We were also offered unlimited refreshments throughout! Would highly recommend!

the activity was great. the location was fantastic and enjoyed the free coffee, tea, biscuits and water throughout.

friendly staff, relaxed setting i left to wander around while my painting dried

Excellent - Mustafa made everyone so comfortable and was so easy going and made the morning! We were a family of 5 with a 9 year old and two teenagers who all thoroughly enjoyed this fabulous experience. They also run a stained glass window option which looks excellent too! Highly recommend - you will not regret going!

Отличный душевный мастер-класс. Понравился всем - и дочке 10 лет и даже мужу, который не очень любит что-то делать руками. Было весело, дружно и отлично провели время. Спасибо!

Es war wunderbar und würde es aufjedenfall wieder machen

Was awesome! Learned a lot and everyone was super welcoming and fun. It’s a great time :)

amazing experience, got to meet new people and all of the staff was kind and encouraging

My favourite activity in Türkiye so far. I learned so much, I love my lamp! I really appreciated Esma coming to meet us and guiding us to the workshop. It's those little acts of kindness that make all the difference. Thank you Esma and Aziz.

Engaging. Amazing. Highly recommended

Super Workshop, es hat richtig viel Spaß gemacht, absolut zu empfehlen.

Crée ma propre lampe. Tout était super, je recommande fortement 🙌🏽

The workshop was one of my favorite activities during our Honeymoon! We were picked up by an employee on the European side in Sirkeci before we went together to the Asian side to Üsküdar. The workshop takes place in a small café which has a kind of crafting area. The instructor spoke good and fluent English so there was no problem understanding him. We received a short introduction and were then able to pre-design the lamp according to our ideas. We had a pleasant exchange with him throughout the whole process. When we had questions, he always gave us a friendly answer. We are looking forward to putting our lamps in our apartment. Highly recommend it to everyone. 10/10

Super relaxed and fun workshop

Mustafa and the team at Fabrikasi were great! Since before the workshop they made sure we received all the useful information in order to get there and enjoy fully without any worry. Mustafa kindly gave us a brief chat explaining the history behind the lamps and then he was carefully supervising and advising us, always with a big smile! Will defensively come back! Thank you for the amazing experience! Lamps look great :)

Mustafa is an extremly smart guy with a good sens of humor! This was a very interesting tour with some history, too in a beautiful asian part of Istambul. It was an enjojable time to learn how can make the real türkish coffee..
