Turkish Tile Painting Art Workshop Reviews

Class was cancelled. I was offered another then that one was cancelled. Still havnt received a be refund.

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).

Chaïma est vraiment une personne exceptionnelle ! Gentille, bienveillante, elle fait tout pour que l’on passe le meilleur moment possible. Elle nous donne des idées aussi pour notre dessin et peinture. Une expérience au top, un beau souvenir placé dans un cadre à la fin et bien emballé. Je recommande et reviendrai très certainement insh’Allah

FYI - after we booked this activity we were contacted via WhatsApp and informed the workshop and activity is actually located on the “Asian” side of Istanbul. We were given two options and the first allowed us to meet a guide who assisted us by taking us on the metro to the workshop. Unfortunately after the activity ended we had to pay for the transport home/figure out how to get back to the European side which was really inconvenient at 6pm (rush hour). Overall, we really enjoyed the activity. Our guide was super lovely and helpful. We had unlimited tea and water and heaps of guidance. The entire thing was packed up beautifully and we couldn’t be happier with our souvenirs. We would definitely book this again and even try the other activities like mosaic lantern / perfume workshop. Just be aware that this activity is on the Asian side of İstanbul, NOT the European side (as it is advertised). I hope the activity provider updates the description so that people are more prepared.

It is one of the most memorable moments of my life so far. Guide was a local Turkish girl and taught me gracefully. Mustafa, the senior member, is really kind man. Ambience is great and you won't regret spending money on this activity. It will be a add-on to all of your experiences in Istanbul.

I'm always visiting master classes at this studio, and 100% of them I enjoy! This one let's you to make a tile using acrylic paints , with traditional Turkish patterns. At the end they give you a dried and framed ready to hang work. Great option for making your own souvenir!

I had a great time at the workshop! So friendly staff and we had a great time painting and talking. I would give them more stars if there would be. Definitely worth the money!

Amazing experience, absolutely to do in Istanbul. All is,perfectly organized and run smoothly. I met my group in the European side of the city and then moved to the shop which is based in the Asian side [only few minutes walking from Marmaray station]. I really enjoyed to paint my ceramic tile. Seyma assisted me all long the process providing me useful suggestions or solutions when I needed. Her nice conversation and large knowledge in artt and history made my experience great. I think this is a good way to meet local people and add some special memories to your travel. I regretted to do not have more time to spend there and try some other activity. Absolutely I recommend you to do not loose this experience visiting Istanbul.

My teacher Seyma was amazing. I really recommend this activity! Çok tesekkurler :)

Time went by super fast but it really fun and great way to know more about Turkish culture. The instructors were friendly and great company. Would totally recommend

The workshop was fantastic! We were helped well and we were allowed to do whatever we wanted whenever we wanted. It was relaxing and fun. We were treated very hospitably and were constantly offered something to drink. The self-shaped tile was nicely placed in a frame and well packed. Our rating is definitely a 10/10, highly recommended!
