    10/10 and definitely worth the money. Everything was super easy from the start,we had the option to meet near the metro and Kadir was really helpful getting us to the coffee shop where the workshop was.Bersha was so sweet and friendly, she explained everything in a simple way and made it really fun, even if you’ve never done anything like this before. We got to take home our own stained glass piece which is such a cute and unique souvenir from Istanbul. I’d 100% recommend it!

    This was such an incredible experience! The location was quite unique with a coffee shop outside and artistry area inside. Very quaint! The instructor, Zey, was superb. She was very professional and personal. She was encouraging and helpful!! We had the greatest time doing not only the stained glass but talking with her. The staff was so anxious to share treats and drinks with everyone. I absolutely recommend this and will use this place again.
