    One of the absolute highlights of our trip to Türkiye! We were met and guided to the workshop by Bahar who was very helpful and friendly. We were instructed by the very talented artist Berra who was very patient and helpful. We loved it and would definitely recommend it to anyone else in Istanbul

    Wonderful experience! I took part in the Tile Painting Workshop led by Zeynep - a wonderful artist, and such a sweet and kind person! You are provided with all the materials, and you receive guidance and advice on how to progress with your painting, what I personally really appreciated and I was very happy with the final result. Definitely the best souvenir I’ll bring back home from Istanbul. On top of that, during the workshop Isra would regularly check up on me, strike a conversation, offer me more tea, coffee or biscuits - she was so lovely, and I felt so well taken care of! Teşekkürler Zeynep and Isra for making my experience so memorable ❤️

    This was really nice. Timings and venue was changed last minute so we started off a bit late as they had to prepare for the activity. Guide was nice and friendly, only spoke Turkish though. Staff were nice and kind, Fabrikafa make & coffee is a cute, artsy place. Had a good time overall.

    The workshop was lovely and made a great souvenir. Two important notes though!! The workshop is in Üsküdar on the Asian side so schedule for that. Second, it’s in a studio inside a café and there is lot of cigarette smoke (which is everywhere in Istanbul but here you sit for a few hours - potentially with kids like us).
