We had such an amazing time at the Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop! Ece was a fantastic workshop leader—she explained and demonstrated the entire mosaic-making process so clearly, making it easy and approachable even if you aren't naturally artistic. Selecting the colorful glass pieces, designing the geometric patterns, and assembling our lamps was so creative, relaxing, and fun. Having such a unique, hand-crafted souvenir to bring home makes the experience even more special. I couldn't recommend this workshop (and Ece!) more!
From the location to the hosts, the experience was relaxing, creative, and satisfying. A beautiful activity to do with the family (we had an 11-year-old teenager), as a couple, or alone. Creating lamps according to tradition, or with imagination. Materials of many colors and shapes are available, a welcome with tea and sweets, and a kindness with a disarming smile that guides you in the creation of unique pieces. Thank you thank you thank you ❤️😍
I was met by the lovely Eren who welcomed us with orange tea and Turkish delight. He then showed us step by step how to make the lamps. I didn't think I would be able to do it but with his guidance I am so pleased with my unique lamp. The small lamp is included in the price and my husband did this lamp. I went for the medium lamp which was an extra 1000 turkish lira. There is also a large lamp that was 1200 turkish lira. You have a piece of paper with templates of tradition designs or you can do your own thing. Once you have done this its time to glue your pieces to the lamp. This was a lot easier than I thought. After that you made your mix of small beads and filled in all the gaps. Then Eren plugged in your lamp so it can be revealed in all its glory when it lit up. Both of our lamps came up great. It was a really fun morning and we now have a unique piece for our home. Thank you Eren for a lovely morning. I highly recommend this.
This experience was absolutely wonderful. We did it as a family. Just a great way to spend a few hours. Staff was kind and helpful. We’re all very happy with our lamps - much much better than buying one at a tourist shop!
Great activity. Eren was a great host definitely recommend it to any and everyone looking to do something traditional and creative
Our first mosaic lamp workshop and we absolutely loved it! Ece (AJ) was such a warm, bubbly instructor who made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. She patiently guided us through the templates, showed us how to apply the glue and helped us choose and mix our beads to create our designs. We were the only couple booked for our chosen date and time so the session felt very relaxed and personal, with no sense of being rushed. The location was beautiful too, overlooking the fairy chimneys and offering stunning sunset views. The free-flow Turkish tea and delicious Turkish delights were a lovely bonus! They also provided bubble wrap for our lamps, making it easy to bring them home safely. Our Cappadocia trip was made even more memorable not only by the hot air balloon ride but by this wonderful experience as well. Thank you, Ece 💖
I went to the mosaic lamp workshop with my wife and it was a unique experience. Eren and Gigi were really helpful and provided clear instructions every step of the way and now we have a souvenir to take back home
Was a very fun, creative and soothing workshop to do! Clear explanation from the friendly Ece.
AJ/ece the host was awesome, she was helpful and friendly, she guided those who were making the lamps allowing us to complete freely on our own, she gave ideas etc when needed. I would recommend the experience and her as a guide.
This workshop was great fun! We loved making our lamps! It was a 2 hour experience, but it is as long as it takes you to do. There's no rush! We finished in an hour but some people from the previous class were still there after 2 hours. I would recommend it for anyone children or adults! Our instructor was called Elan or Aron I think 🤔 I feel bad I can't remember his name properly but he was great! Very knowledgeable, he even gave us a restaurant recommendation when we asked!
