Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop Reviews

Fun and authentic experience and really cool that you get to take home something you make. Bunyamin prepared a template of mosaic patterns, 30+ colors of mosaics and many containers of different colored beads for the lamp, and then I learned how to adhere them to the glass bulb. I’m really happy with how the lamp turned out and am super excited to use my lamp at home.

What an incredible and creative experience this was! The concept is truly unique and one-of-a-kind, and the atmosphere of the workshop was warm and inviting, with a friendly and knowledgeable staff that made us feel right at home. We loved learning about the fascinating background and history of these stunning mosaic lamps before diving into the creative process ourselves. Making our own lamps was an absolute blast - with plenty of guidance and tips provided along the way to ensure that our designs turned out just as we had envisioned. We were so excited to bring our beautiful lamps home as souvenirs, and they will serve as a constant reminder of the amazing memories we made during our trip. This workshop was a definite highlight of our Istanbul adventure, and we cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone looking for a truly unique and unforgettable experience.

This experience was truly unforgettable and easily tops my list of favorite activities in Istanbul! From start to finish, everything was exceptional - the communication was outstanding, and the host went above and beyond to ensure that we felt comfortable and welcomed. The workshop itself had a wonderful ambiance that made us feel right at home, and we were delighted to learn about the rich history and cultural significance of these beautiful mosaic lamps. The creative process was an absolute joy, with plenty of support and encouragement along the way to help us bring our unique designs to life. Overall, this experience was an incredible opportunity to tap into our inner artists and create a one-of-a-kind Turkish souvenir that we will cherish forever. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a fun and meaningful activity in Istanbul!

I am delighted to say that this experience was hands down my favorite activity in Istanbul so far! From start to finish, everything was simply outstanding. Communication was excellent, and Bunyamin even went out of his way to meet us on the European side of the city and transport us quickly to the Asian side. The host was incredibly friendly, and the workshop had a fantastic atmosphere. When we arrived, everything was ready and waiting for us to dive right in. Bunyamin gave us an overview of the history of the lamps and then showed us how to make them - but the best part was that we were free to express our creativity in any way we wanted (all while sipping delicious coffee or tea, of course!). This experience was an excellent opportunity to tap into our inner artists and create a unique and meaningful Turkish souvenir. Overall, I absolutely loved every moment of it and highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Istanbul.

The Turkish lamp workshops provided the group with informative insight into the interactions of art, culture, and identity of one of the oldest art and craft practices in this hectic contemporary world. I had a slight fear that my lapm will end up discovering my non-art personality, but with the overall interactive vibe of the presentation and genuine help of the instructor I actually ended up with the new interior design addition for my living room. Big thanks to Fabri team for evoking the inner artist in me!

아시아 지구에 있는 공방 겸 카페에 방문해서 차와 커피를 마시며 나의 모자이크 램프를 만드는 데 온전히 집중할 수 있는 경험이었습니다.호스트는 모자이크 램프에 대한 프레젠테이션 또한 준비하고 마실것과 활동 중간중간 세심한 조언을 아끼지 않았습니다.또한 호스트와 게스트를 넘어서 친구 혹은 가이드가 되어줄 준비가 되어있는 모습이 인상적이었습니다. 누군가 이스탄불에 간다면 추천하고 싶은 경험이었습니다.

Amazing experience !!! Definitely recommend it to everyone visiting Istanbul. Host was very flexible, communicative and helpful before and throughout the experience, very friendly too.

I found this workshop online, and decided to give it a try. It came up to one of the biggest highlights of my trip to Istanbul. We went with my parents and all of us enjoyed it so much. We felt like were visiting our old friends as they explained us everything and carefully helped on the way. The lamp I was able to build myself also looks nice and I could bring it with me. However the process itself was even better. Definitely recommended for everyone visiting Istanbul. Thank you!

Attending the workshop in Istanbul was a transformative blend of expert insights and the city's captivating charm. Networking opportunities and cultural integrations enriched the event beyond expectations. It was more than educational; it was an unforgettable personal voyage. Heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in making this a truly remarkable adventure. Special thanks to Ali, always making sure things are clockwork and fun!

AMAZING experience! If you are thinking about booking it, do it, you won’t regret it! Great way to see a bit of the Asian side of Istanbul while getting to make a beautiful personalized & one of a kind souvenir in a relaxed studio/cafe.

The tour was fascinating! Our guide impressed us with their in-depth knowledge of the subject matter. They were also incredibly friendly, helpful, and made the experience enjoyable for everyone. I was fortunate to be placed in a fantastic group, which added to the overall experience. The atmosphere truly stood out. It managed to blend a youthful energy with a traditional charm, creating a unique and engaging environment.

The Turkish lamp workshop - the best souvenir you can bring back home to remind you about your travels and use it as a cozy evening lamp. It's such a unique experience and very personalized - you can let your creativity flow or you can get as much help or assistance as you wish with design and making the lamp. The overall process went smooth and lamps were ready to be packed during a coffee break right before I head for my flight. Ali and the team are locals passionate about sharing their culture and can provide you with bunch of insigths and recommendations for further exploration of Istanbul and you even get a certificate upon completing this workshop.

This great workshop was a birthday gift for me and it was one of the best gifts I have ever gotten. The best part of it is you choose your own design and create your own unique mosaic lamp. Perfect place, inside of the old İstanbul, and the workshop is so professional. Also, the atmosphere and energy of Bünyamin are peerless. I got the swan lamp, I definitely recommend you upgrade it to the swan type. Give your creativity and productivity a chance! Thank you for this joyful workshop.

I recently attended a Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop hosted by Bunyamin in Istanbul and had an incredible time. Bunyamin welcomed us and guided us through the design and assembly of our own unique lamps, which I was able to take home as a personalized souvenir. The workshop was well-organized, with a lively atmosphere and music, and I bonded with the other participants over our shared creative experience. We also got to select from a range of colorful glasses to add to our lamps, making each one truly unique. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone visiting Istanbul interested in traditional lamps, as you get to learn the craft and take home a unique piece. Thank you, Bunyamin!

You must go here for the craft experience. We chose this place to do lamp making - we were on the European side and the lovely Beyza picked us up from the station and took us over to the workshop on the Asian side. Beyza was very knowledgable about the history of lamps, I learnt a lot :) The actual lamp making was so fun! You get unlimited tea, coffee and cookies whilst you’re making your lamp. Beyza kindly helped my son with his lamp which turned out superb! Thank you Beyza for the amazing experience! I will definitely be recommending to people who are visiting Istanbul about your place :) Sera xo

çok güzel zaman geçirdik 💖

Fantastic lamp making workshop! Our facilitator Abdullah was absolutely amazing, very personable and helpful, encouraged us to be creative and even have some suggestions for local dining spots. Facility was clean and easy to access. Price point was spectacular. Definitely a must try for a visit to Istanbul!

We had an amazing experience with the whole team, they were super welcoming and I loved the conversations. We made our own handmade mosaik lamp wtih glass pieces and glue. In the end we walked away with a lamp and a smile on our face, amazing!

Absolute recommendation! We can only warmly recommend the workshop to everyone. It was a real highlight of our trip to Istanbul. The atmosphere is great and the guides are super nice. We were told a lot about the culture and the country and all of our questions were answered immediately. The lamps are really beautiful and it is a great experience to make them yourself. The price is absolutely great for everything that is offered. We were really well supported in everything and are very grateful for this great experience.

I absolutely loved every minute of this workshop! I was so excited when I booked it and it didn’t disappoint. I made a beautiful mosaic lamp and met cool people from all kinds of backgrounds. Our host, Ali, was very friendly and knowledgable and guided us through the lamp making process. If you’re heading to istanbul, don’t miss out on this workshop! 10/10 recommend! :)
