Istanbul Workshops

it was soooo much fun! Ilham was such a fun and informative instructor. He was very interactive with us and engaged with us. i would recommend taking this class when you’re in istanbul. its in a very artsy and colorful area, so much inspiration around. and you get to take home something turkish that you made by hand 🫶🏻

The staff there were very nice and friendly. They even picked us up from the metro station if you’re coming from the european side, and the transport fee was on them. Our instructor Mehmet, explained everything very clearly. During the workshop, we had unlimited water, turkish tea and cookies. Even after I got back to my country, i had an issue with my lamp and i reached out to them for some advice. The staff were super helpful in getting it fixed. They even provided a video to make sure i fixed it properly. You can really see the effort they put in. Overall, i had such a nice experience there. Highly recommended!

Chegamos um pouco antes do previsto e nos serviram chá turco enquanto esperávamos, o que foi um toque muito agradável. Para nossa surpresa, acabamos sendo apenas nós dois na oficina! Pareceu uma sessão privada e relaxante. Um salve para Rustam por responder pacientemente a todas as nossas perguntas (tínhamos muitas, rs), enquanto Hussein também se juntava a nós. Embora fosse para durar 2 horas, ficamos quase 2 horas e meia porque estávamos nos divertindo muito. Aprendemos sobre a história do café turco, moemos os grãos nós mesmos, experimentamos café de pistache (tão bom que comprei um pouco para levar para casa!) e até desfrutamos da sessão de leitura da sorte. Também recebemos uma pequena lembrança, o que realmente apreciamos. Obrigado por uma experiência tão calorosa e memorável em Istambul! PS: Rustam, não se esforce demais! ⭐️

Kübra was a really lovely facilitator and conducted the workshop so well! She was very thorough in the storytelling and make the workshop very interactive. We enjoyed it a lot and had a great time.

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 :)

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

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~ ♡

Se você gosta de experiências "faça você mesmo", não pode perder esta atividade. Quando cheguei lá, mudei para fazer um abajur de mosaico. Eles também têm outras aulas, como: castiçais, modelagem em argila, pintura em mármore d'água, etc. Depois de terminar, você se sentirá muito realizado e ainda receberá a base da lâmpada para levar para casa.

After experiencing the Turkish lamp workshop, immediately try your hand at making perfume. There are many options for top, middle, and base notes, so you can adjust them to your liking and create a unique fragrance that's all your own!
