Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop Reviews

Bunyamin is a very caring and attentive host. The most difficult process for me was the design of the lamp, as there was a large selection of glass and beads, combinations of colors and shapes. The atmosphere is very cozy, as if you came to visit a good friend. Totally worth to visit!

Had a great afternoon with Benjamin. He introduced us the culture of Turkish lamp and we enjoyed crafting it. It was a fantastic experience, highly recommend.

This was an incredible experience, much better than we could have imagined! Bunyamin is a great teacher and super accommodating, he picked us up and took us to the workshop, teaching us a bit about the city on the way. He was very friendly and engaging and made us feel very at home!The workshop cafe is a cute place with lots of charm, and a very friendly cat too! It was a really warm and welcoming atmosphere, and we were given coffees/teas and homemade cookies on arrival which was a nice touch!The mosaic lamp workshop was a lot of fun, therapeutic and a very enjoyable experience all round. Bunyamin taught us the history of the lamps and the area we were in, and gave us free reign on our designs, but was ready and able to offer a hand if we needed it. My partner and I ended up with a beautiful lamp each that we're proudly displaying in our home, as a lovely reminder of our time in Istanbul.When booking this event, I messed up and booked the wrong date, but Bunyamin was super accommodating and let us work at the date we turned up to with no issues. He made us feel very comfortable even though it was entirely my mistake.I thoroughly recommend this experience to anyone who visits Istanbul. Great value, wonderful host and space and a brilliant handmade souvenir from your time in this city!

Amazing experience - we got to decorate our own Turkish lamps using glass pieces and glue. Bunyamin was a great instructor and really let us use our own creativity on our lamps. It was a neat workshop to make some Turkish crafts and get to know more about the culture of the country! Cannot recommend it enough!

This experience was lovely! Bunyamin did a great job explaining the creative process, so everyone had beautiful lamps by the end of the workshop 😁 The atmosphere was very relaxing, and it was a great way to start my day in Istanbul. Highly recommend this experience 😊

I would highly recommend this if you are like me and live Turkish lamps. I completely lost myself for 2 hours while decorating the lamp. And I love the lamp I made. ❤️

Expérience à la fois créative, ludique dans une ambiance très sympathique! Bunyamin est un super Hote, il est venu nous chercher suite à une incompréhension, encore merci pour ton aide et sa bienveillance. L’atelier est très convivial dans un endroit fort agréable. Les 2 enfants de 9 et 12 ans ont adoré l’expérience tout comme moi. Et l’on repart avec une jolie lampe. Super expérience, allez y les yeux fermés!

The experience was fantastic, great way to be creative and meet other people with plenty of çay. Bunyamin was super helpful and his patience is certainly envied! Thoroughly enjoyed it and a cool souvenir to bring back home.

Merci pour l’accueil

My husband and I enjoyed the workshop! It’s one of the main highlights of our trip in Istanbul!

Such a great and unique experience! Loved it.

Bunyamin was an amazing host! He met us and took us across. We had a magical experience. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

Recommend, great experience

I can definitely recommend this experience if you enjoy crafts or just want to try something creative. Bunyamin made us feel very welcome and gave us some helpful recommendations for exploring the area and tips for public transit. He gave us tea from the adjacent coffee shop, told us a bit about the history of the Turkish lamp style, and put on a cool playlist for us to enjoy while we worked on our designs. The result is a fun memento from out trip that we will enjoy having in our home!

We were realy impressed🤍 It’s a good choice to spend time with friends or family in an authentic Turkish culture and a cup of tea with tasty biscuits. So cozy atmosphere and a lot of choices to have your personal Turkish-style lamp! Thank you for the brilliant experience and send our hearts to the cat called Crêpe🤍

Workshop was an excellent experience for us. We had a really great time creating our own piece of art and got a souvenir to remember this Turkey vacation. There was a great variety of glass so everyone got their unique lamp. Benyamin is a great tutor, everything turned out to be so simple. The tea and cookies were also pleasant to have. Highly recommend everyone who wants to get a memorable experience and have something unique at home :)

It's was a such an amazing art experience. I would definitely recommend to visit this workshop. Bunyamin is very kind and warm host.

I really wanted to buy a Turkish lamp so I thought why not make my own. One of the best things I’ve done in Istanbul. The whole experience was so smooth, I felt so relaxed and we were looked after so well by the host. You’re located in a room off a coffee shop so the vibe was lovely.Couldn’t recommend this enough, I’d give it 6 stars if I could.

This is a must do when visiting Istanbul. Bunyamin is the man, you'll be in good hands!

We definitely loved this experience!It was so much fun, and definitely one of our highlights of our time in Istanbul, AND we got an awesome lamp to take home. Bunyamin is the best - totally recommend this class!!

This was such a fun experience! A very welcome break from a day of running around and touring! We all made beautiful lamps. Lots of great mosaic tiles to choose from and easy instructions. The studio was lovely and we sat around a large table making new friends with other tourists. Afterwards we enjoyed sweet treats and tea! Highly recommend!

M-am simțit super bine!De la punctul de întâlnire, Bunyamin m-a condus prin aglomerația din oraș până la cafenea - un loc liniștit cu oameni calzi și muzică bună. A fost distractiv si relaxant să fac lampa, de la alegerea modelelor și culorilor la lipirea pieselor, iar cât am așteptat să se usuce am stat la povești plăcute cu cei de acolo. Lampa e acum o experiență de la Istanbul adusă acasă ❤️Recomand și celor care călătoresc singuri 😁+ ceai și gustări bune

We had such a great time at this workshop! The setting was super cute with so many glass and decor options and the host was the best! Not only he was great at teaching us how to make the lamps but he also gave us coffee from his shop and Turkish tea - both so good! We also got to meet great people who were doing the workshop! It was probably one of my favorite experiences in Istanbul. If you’re still wondering if you should do it - DO IT! 😄

We had an amazing time making a Turkish Mosaic Lamp with Bunyamin during our recent Airbnb experience! From the moment I arrived, Bunyamin made us feel welcome and comfortable. He is a true expert in this craft, and we learned so much from him about the history and techniques of making these beautiful lamps.Bunyamin provided all the materials and tools we needed, and guided us through each step of the process with patience and encouragement. His passion for this art form is contagious, and we felt inspired by his enthusiasm and creativity.The end result was a stunning mosaic lamp that I am proud to display in my home. Thank you, Bunyamin, for a wonderful Airbnb experience!
