Istanbul Workshops

Jag gillade det verkligen! Rekommenderas! Det fanns bara inget ryskt språk. Lampan ingår i priset. En tjej mötte mig vid Marmaray Sirkeci station och eskorterade mig till workshopen i Üsküdar, hon ringde i förväg och skickade mötesplatsen via WhatsApp.

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

I highly recommend this experience! The communication was very good and the instructors were very knowledgeable and helpful when advising everyone on what scents go together and how to mix them. They have many scents you can choose from and mixing them is an interesting experience! We were very pleased with how our perfume turned out, it lasts for a pretty long time on the skin. The location where the workshop takes place is very nice and the tea and snacks provided were good!

It is super interesting and well planned workshop. The instructor will share a lot of Turkish coffee history and you will make yr own coffee.

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. 🙏🏽

Det var sååå roligt! Ilham var en så rolig och informativ instruktör. Han var väldigt interaktiv med oss och engagerade sig. Jag skulle rekommendera att ta den här kursen när du är i Istanbul. Det är i ett väldigt konstnärligt och färgstarkt område, så mycket inspiration runt omkring. Och du får ta med dig något turkiskt som du har gjort för hand hem 🫶🏻

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.

Staff was super friendly. I loved every minute of it. It's best to do this activity first thing when you visit the area as the papers take up to 2 hours to dry. You can walk around and sightsee after the class, and then come back to pick up the finished papers.

Why isn't this working? Seriously, why won't it work? It's honestly amazing to be able to spend time like this in Turkey for this price, and it was the best, most unforgettable moment in Istanbul. It was so, so wonderful to be able to make a souvenir of Istanbul with my own hands. Since everyone else was out playing and didn't know about this, I got to have a quiet class all to yourself, which made it even better. Even if you're not crafty, they have various templates ready, and I found what I wanted on Pinterest, placed the glass over my phone, and traced it, so it felt like doing Glass Deco from when I was a kid. It is absolutely, positively not difficult at all, and the instructor was so kind and helpful. They even gave us Turkish tea and cookies to enjoy while working. I want to keep this all to myself, but since I want to visit again next time I'm here, please, if you're reading this, buy in at the bottom. The end.
