Istanbul Mga Pagawaan

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 🫶🏻

Ang mga staff doon ay napakabait at palakaibigan. Sinundo pa nila kami mula sa istasyon ng metro kung galing ka sa European side, at sila ang nagbayad ng pamasahe sa transportasyon. Ang aming instruktor na si Mehmet, ay napakalinaw magpaliwanag ng lahat. Sa panahon ng workshop, mayroon kaming walang limitasyong tubig, Turkish tea at cookies. Kahit pagbalik ko sa aking bansa, nagkaroon ako ng problema sa aking ilaw at nakipag-ugnayan ako sa kanila para humingi ng payo. Ang mga staff ay napakatulungin sa pag-aayos nito. Nagbigay pa sila ng video para masiguro na naayos ko ito nang tama. Kitang-kita mo talaga ang pagsisikap na ibinigay nila. Sa kabuuan, napakaganda ng aking karanasan doon. Lubos na inirerekomenda!

Dumating kami nang mas maaga kaysa sa nakatakdang oras at inalok kami ng Turkish tea habang naghihintay, na isang napakagandang pagbati. Sa aming pagtataka, kaming dalawa lang pala ang nasa workshop! Pakiramdam namin ay isang pribado at relaks na sesyon. Malaking pasasalamat kay Rustam sa matiyagang pagsagot sa lahat ng aming tanong (marami kami lol), habang sumama rin sa amin si Hussein. Bagama't dapat ay 2 oras lang, nanatili kami nang halos 2.5 oras dahil labis kaming nasisiyahan. Nalaman namin ang kasaysayan ng Turkish coffee, kami mismo ang nagiling ng butil, sinubukan ang pistachio coffee (napakasarap kaya bumili ako para iuwi!), at nasiyahan pa sa sesyon ng paghula. Nakatanggap din kami ng maliit na souvenir, na lubos naming pinahahalagahan. Salamat sa napakainit at di malilimutang karanasan sa Istanbul! PS: Rustam, huwag mong masyadong pagurin ang sarili mo! ⭐️

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~ ♡

Kung mahilig ka sa hands-on na karanasan, hindi mo dapat palampasin ang aktibidad na ito. Pagdating ko doon, pinili kong gumawa ng mosaic lampshade. Mayroon din silang iba pang klase tulad ng: candelabra, paghuhulma ng luwad, at water marbling. Pagkatapos gawin ito, nakaramdam ako ng matinding kasiyahan, at bibigyan ka pa nila ng lamp base para iuwi.

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!
