What to expect
✨Step into the world of Turkish carpet weaving✨
Too cold? Too hot? Take a break from Istanbul’s chaos and spend a few cozy hours with laughter, stories, tea, and weaving. This isn’t just a workshop—it’s a little escape where you’ll sip tea, snack, and create one of Turkey’s oldest crafts with your own hands.
You’ll sit at the loom, guided step by step, and turn colorful threads into your own mini carpet. Most guests come saying “I have zero skills” and leave proudly saying “I made this!”
Small groups, patient teaching, fun stories, and a relaxed vibe—think tea, coffee, too many snacks, and lots of laughs. You’ll take home not just a handmade piece, but a memory that’ll outlast any bazaar souvenir.
Good to know
Enjoy a cup of Turkish tea, and take your time weaving — it’s all about relaxing and having fun while creating your own unique souvenir!
