    Loved this activity making the lamp. A perfect keepsake to bring home. The girls in the shop were lovely! The snacks weren’t much, so don’t plan on skipping any meals. But the tea and coffee was very good. The lamp is the important part, and absolutely wonderful!

    Nihal and Selin were so fantastic they were friendly chatty and knowledgeable. We had a good laugh with them while we made the lamps and they helped us to realise our ideas we had seen online. We ended up free handing our designs thanks to their help This workshop was so fun to do but the ladies running it made it special You can upgrade your lamp to the hanging design for an extra fee which I chose to do but my partner kept hers as the standard one so we have a nice mix

    Absolutely amazing, I’d recommend doing this to anyone who’s visiting Istanbul, the activity was so enjoyable and the instructors were wonderful, it’s also a 7 minute walk from the grand bazaar so you can do both in one day
