extremely helpful and friendly team- plus unlimited coffee and tea were awesome!!The mosaic lamp workshop itself was enjoyable, with beautiful materials and a cozy atmosphere. However, the way the host handled communication made the experience uncomfortable. Although the workshop was booked in English and the rest of the group received instructions in English, the host spoke only in Turkish to my girlfriend, assuming she would translate everything for me. This left me feeling excluded and placed an unnecessary burden on her, even though she was there as a participant, not an interpreter. I fully respect the local language, but when an activity is advertised in English, all guests should be addressed equally. I’m sharing this feedback respectfully, as a small change in awareness and communication would make the experience much more inclusive for future visitors.Sehr freundlich und ein toller Abend Lampe ist heil daheim und wunderschön es ist für jedes Alter geeignet, nicht für Kinder da diese die Lampe nicht machen könnenZeynab our guide was super sweet and helpful. she guided us through the process and allowed us to simply create while offering gentle suggestions for the best outcome. tea coffee and snacks flowed throughout the event. it was well organized and a great mosaic lamp making activity!muy bien, la chica super amable y me han quedado unas lamparas preciosasattività carina per passare qualche ora dopo aver visitato la città. potrebbero inserire qualche attività durante il tempo di essiccatura del siliconeOn December 7, 2025, we attended a lamp-making workshop. We really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was pleasant. The guide spoke English, but she explained and demonstrated everything clearly, even if you don't speak English. The teacher comes up to you if you don't understand something, explains, and demonstrates again. A wide variety of mosaics and beads are available, to suit every taste and choice. While you're making the lamps, they bring you tea/coffee and cookies. Everything was delicious. After you're done, you'll need to wait 40 minutes to an hour for the lamps to dry. You can sit in the cafe or stroll around. Afterward, the lamps will be well-packed, and you'll receive a certificate and a discount for your next visit. We recommend this place!It was immersive experience - very pleasant and helpful guide. They were really supportive in helping us design and create those lamps. All the lamps turned out so beautiful. 10/10 recommended activity on your Istanbul trip.Gidilebilir, değişik ve eğlenceliWe were stoked with this workshop. Everyone was so lovely and we were so happy with our lamps!Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop

Exceptionally professional and genuinely helpful service. From start to finish, the team was welcoming and accommodating, providing consistent support throughout my stay. The location in Üsküdar was ideal — a peaceful area perfect for walking with trendy restaurants/ cafes and a refreshing change from the busy city center.Tudo muito bem explicado, fácil aprendizagem e o Gui sempre disponívelUne activité parfaite dans un lieu cocooning et beau souvenir fait main à la clé ! 🤩Vielen Dank für diese wundervolle Überraschung! Es war eine großartige Gelegenheit, türkische Traditionen kennenzulernen. Der Kursleiter ist sehr kompetent, höflich, erklärt alles verständlich und ist sehr geduldig. Wir haben nicht nur gelernt, wie man Lampenglas mit Mosaiken verziert, sondern auch eine ganze Lampe geschenkt bekommen. Ich kann diesen Kurs wärmstens empfehlen!Superbe activité autant pour les enfants que pour les adultes. En prime, vous repartez avec le produit de vos efforts, soit une magnifique lanterne turque.

Tout était parfait! La dame qui nous a accompagné durant l’activité était incroyablement gentille ! Je recommande cette activité si vous êtes de passage à Istanbul !Az idegenvezető késett, probléma volt a talàlkozàsi ponttal. Làmpakészités szuper volt , örök emlék. AjànlomSuper activité, manuelle et traditionnelle. A faire.Una actividad muy hermosa. Nuestra guía fue amable y de mucha ayuda nos hicieron sentir como en casa. Nos buscaron a la estación del metro para que no nos perdiéramos y es una actividad súper recomendada! Nos encantóVery amazing activity to do with a group and the instructive was very kindAll everything was just perfect. She explained everything so good and she has so much patients. We fully enjoyed every second.What a great way to spend the morning, creating mosaic lamps and learning about the history behind it. It’s a great value for the money spent because you walk away with a unique souvenir. This activity took place on the Asian side of Turkey so make sure you arrive at the meeting place on the Europe side at least 30 minutes in advance.Everything was amazing in the workshop! Kadir who helped us with our transportation, Zen who was our instructor and of course the rest of the team who was always there helping us and making our experience memorable! We love our handmade lamps and they already have a place in our living room, keeping us company and reminding us what a wonderful time we had… When we come back to Istanbul we will definitely visit again the cafe and have another workshop! Sending love and hugs, Elena❤️ and Dimitris🎃Wonderful and recommend to all!theGot a question? We're here to answer! If you don't see your question here, contact with us directly on our Contact Page →
A Turkish mosaic lamp workshop runs about two to three hours. The bulk of that time is spent at the work station. A short demo and a wrap-up sit on either side of the build. You leave with the lamp you make.
The Turkish mosaic lamp workshop is priced per person. The current rate is on the booking page. The lamp body, glass beads, brass base, grout, and bulb are all in the kit. You take the finished lamp home.
The price covers a lamp body, the glass beads, the brass base, the soldering set, your guide, and the lit lamp you take home. Tools and materials are set up at your station. A short studio tour is part of the session.
