Istanbul Työpajat

If you're Korean and feel like you've seen all the tourist spots in Turkey, you absolutely must try this. Honestly, I was hesitant at first because it was less than 30,000 won after a discount, and there weren't many reviews. But it turned out to be incredibly good value for money and very satisfying. When I went, one instructor taught a class of about 15 people in both English and Turkish. They gave detailed advice, like which scents wouldn't go well together, if a scent was too strong, or the best mixing ratios, which helped me create my own satisfying perfume. There was a good variety of perfume essences available, like saffron and milk, and the price also included refreshments such as coffee, tea, and snacks. Even during the class, if you just tell the staff what you'd like to drink, they'll prepare it right away. At the end, they even carefully packaged it with bubble wrap, so I didn't have to worry about putting it in my luggage. It's so affordable that you might wonder if there are any hidden extra charges, but there aren't; they even cover the subway fare from the pickup location to the workshop. Thanks to this, I'm taking home a very special memory :)

Se oli niin hauskaa! Ilham oli todella hauska ja informatiivinen ohjaaja. Hän oli hyvin vuorovaikutteinen ja osallistui kanssamme. Suosittelisin tätä kurssia, kun olet Istanbulissa. Se on erittäin taiteellisella ja värikkäällä alueella, niin paljon inspiraatiota ympärillä. Ja saat viedä kotiin jotain turkkilaista, jonka olet tehnyt käsin 🫶🏻

Ali took great care of us and was a great teacher. It was our first time doing a tufting workshop and we walked out with amazing artwork that we will cherish. Ali was very patient working with us and helped us make a beautiful piece of art. Thank you Ali!

Iilham was a great guide. I booked a late coffee workshop so it was just me for that time. He was very friendly and informative. It was a fun experience. Would recommend for anyone's first time in Istanbul. Thanks Iilham for such a warm welcome. 🙏🏽

Have a very nice afternoon. It takes patience and dedication, in the end, you will get a wonderful handmade artwork and happy memories.

Kübra oli todella ihana ohjaaja ja veti työpajan erinomaisesti! Hän oli erittäin perusteellinen tarinankerronnassa ja teki työpajasta erittäin interaktiivisen. Nautimme siitä paljon ja meillä oli hauskaa.

The experience itself was quite short. Since I'm not very good at English, I was using a translation app to listen to the history of Turkish coffee. Perhaps noticing this, the speaker slowed down so I could understand better. I had seen it in videos before, but I was able to experience it freshly with various senses: sight, smell, and taste.

The best way to remember Istanbul ❤️🫶 I don't usually leave reviews, but I came here specifically to leave one. The instructor was incredibly kind and taught us so well. They patiently waited until we finished and helped us throughout, so I'm taking home a beautiful souvenir! They also kept offering tea and snacks, and chatting with them made me feel like I was at my Turkish grandmother's house 🥹. The location is super convenient, just a short walk from the tram, and the studio is so lovely with plenty of sunlight! I wish the owner great success~ ♡

Jos pidät käsityökokemuksista, et voi jättää tätä aktiviteettia väliin. Paikan päällä vaihdoin tekemään mosaiikkilampunvarjostimen. Heillä on myös muita kursseja, kuten kynttilänjalkoja, savenvalantaa ja marmorointia. Valmistumisen jälkeen tunsin suurta tyytyväisyyttä, ja sain lampunjalustan kotiin vietäväksi.
